Here.
Also, this is day 2 of my 2nd Quarter Fundraiser, and I’m less than halfway to where I want to be. Which is to make $10K a year. Divided by four quarters.
You do the math.

I’m following you. I could not resist the call.
BTW, whose character should we be assassinating? I guess we should decide that on twitter!
Pied Piper of Protein Wisdom, I’ll heed your call…
I am not sure what a Twitter really is, but Mal the Ter wrote a tour de epic comment on it the other day, so I signed up today. Mal and JG should get some referral bonus.
I can’t figure out how it works, and I figure by the time I do nobody will be doing it any more.
ANTI-TECHNOLOGIST!
Feeding my twitter addiction!!!!
Information Overload for the ADD afflicted! Woot!
I’m only going to follow you, Jeff, if you follow me. But, no worries. I never Twit, so I won’t clog up your feed.
WIN/WIN.
(ok, so this is apparently a idle threat, since I already follow Jeff.)
Actually, it’s “tweet,” but “twit” is oh so more appropriate.
Have I mentioned that Twitter is one of the Four Horesemen of the Apocalypse?
Not today. Until now, that is.
How do twatwaffles fit in the whole twitter culture?
fit in or fit on, JD?
I am going to sign up and twitter that “ZOMG Meghan McCain is Teh Fat and nishit is Teh Krazy”
Either, Maggie. I iz confuzzled with this thingie called Twitter. I just got done walking back from Facebook, now this. Ugh.
I dunno either, but hopefully there’s syrup.
So … past tense is “twat”?
Whether it is or not, from now on it will be.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
“How do twatwaffles fit in the whole twitter culture?”
Shouldn’t that be “twitwaffles”?
See, just when I thought I had it figured out, you go an get me all confuzzled again.
I made a twittername today, but I used it to do this.
I don’t think I should follow Jeff with that name.
:(
I don’t think nishi should follow anyone. Creepy little thing it is.
I liked Bob’s typo the other day: “the abstinet†the cool new communications tool where people just don’t.
twut?
“Twut?” said the twat, who twittered to his tweets.
TWEET ME!
Er…howsabout I just read here instead?
Dat be da twoot.
can anyone use cosby’s “Fat Albert” to goof on fat federal obama? people there is an obesity problem in america!
Man, Obama kind of looks like a skinny Fat Albert now that i think about it.
Obama san the warrior!
video
here
BMoe – As we learned, it is racist to call him skinny. Articulate is racist too.
Inexperienced is racist.
So is dirty fucking Euro-wannabe-Socialist.
Pay up, Suckas! PAY THE WRITER
“Why do people keep insisting that I join the 21st Century? I *LIVE* in the 21st Century! I just don’t want to be bothered by the shitheads on the internet!” …Harlan Ellison
…and that was long before Twitter.
done.
I tweet, therefore I am.
Again.
Either maggie is joking or she didn’t know I was joking. I’m not sure which.
please, cranky-d, everyone knows your mom is a hoochie.
okay, RTO tells me that isn’t nearly as hilarious as I think it is. sorry, cranky-d.
That’s fine, no worries.
Gotta admire Harlan Ellison, he figured it out on the first try.
It’s not often you find someone who overpowers Robin Williams.
Wasted Twittering …
Following @proteinwisdom OMG, he is to twitter what Megan McCain is to GOP. watch out! Rule #1, get @KarlRove to follow U.
Brilliant small-govt idea: All laws have to be written in twitter form, 140 chars or less. #tcot
i have an amusing harlan ellison story, from my misspent youth. and when i say youth i mean like 6th grade, or some older 6th grade boys i knew anyway. crank phone calls were involved. and the police. i always thought the guy was kind of a dick, to involve the police. especially considering the age of the prankster perps, and how mild the telephone prank was. i guess he didn’t like being made to look like an idiot by a bunch of bratty little kids. on the plus side that fake mayan temple looking house thingy he lives in was kinda cool.
Sorry Jeff. I won’t sign on to Twitter ever, not even for you. But I’ll lurk just the same.
Unfortunately, the work filter defines Twitter as:
” Dating/Personals, Personal Pages. ”
Ooooookay.
clarion call heeded, Jeff. But, I won’t tweet you, as that sounds like a bad sex act dreamed up by a high 4th grader.
I BEG TO BE TWEETED!
“Off to dinner. I’ll be having a burger with guac and bacon. Looks like more situps for me! LOL!!!1! OMG!!!
about 4 hours ago from web”
HEH and the one before hilarious too. (although I think it would be “crunches” ,but whatev)
TWEET! GODDAMNIT, TWEET!
.
.
Oh, we’re talking about Twitter, aren’t we?
Careful…
Too much twitter and you’ll become “tweet” twash…
Sorry, I couldn’t resist; it’s late here on the east coast…
I went to sign up on Twitter, but some motherfarking bastige is using my username.
Damn him to hell!
I tweeted you, what does that get me? :)
The scooby wallpaper is iconic and I only say that about things that are for real iconic.
I didn’t get the Tweet.
Am I doing something wrong?
So should I address women on twitter as “tweet-heart”..?
Or would that be too misogynistic? I mean, I am over 40, and graying a bit-in a distinguished fashion of course-at the temples…
I thought that meant terms of endearment were definately in bounds for me…
This is no fun.
Since Dan decided to get rid of me, nobody but happyfeet ever Tweets me.
I’m a Twitter pariah.
I know — shocking.
Oh, I found a version that wasn’t taken. I feel better now.
OK, I’m clueless. How exactly do I tweet you. I put you on my “follow” list. Is that what it means?
:: noob ::
The Iranian kids have me feeling like every tweet should advance the cause of freedom in some poignant way what is rife with immediacy. That’s a lot of pressure.
hf: the Iran election tweets are heartbreaking to watch, especially with a prez who’s afraid to dip his toe into the pool of freedom
I’ve tweeted you a couple of times tonight Jeff. They should appear on the “home” page that comes up after you sign into twitter. Maybe you just need to refresh the screen…
Ooh! I found the “reply to” button.
where is maggie? I got lost on twitter and found this site she might like maybe.
ohnoes. I just found someone on twitter what calls frozen yogurt “fro-yo” … I wish to all that’s holy it had taken me several long long seconds at least to figure out what fro-yo was but I just knew. That’s not right.
and now this …
I guess we can use the word madcap?
The damndestest thing is all these years we thought Helen Keller was saying WAHter.
I’m not gettin’ ’em Tweets.
Really, Jeff? I sent a couple from Goatsecx, too.
Are you sending them to proteinwisdom (one word)?
Yeah, I hit the reply arrow from a couple of yours, it says @proteinwisdom before the message.
Try hitting the home button at the very top of the page. That’s how I see Volcano Taco tell me about Taco Bell’s value menu anyways.
I’m on “home”. I’m doing something wrong, I guess.
Okay, I’m seeing them now.
Weird.
Volcano Taco just reminded me to consider the Fourth Meal. Beat that Jeff. You media dino, blockhead you.
I sent you one as a test. Did I do it right?
I’m not sure why I have to sign up to twitter exactly. Not trying to be a bitch, just wondering why it’s quasi mandatory to sign up.
Got it, SN.
TSK9 — You don’t have to. I was just joshing.
— Or being my usual evil self what demands lock-step agreement. You choose.
But choose wisely.
Ah, I see grasshoper. Thanks Jeff. Just holding back on the actual signups lately. protesting facebook too. Mysterious me.
OK, I signed up, but how do I twit pug dog farts smell. REALLY bad!!?!?
(they really do)
Figured it out. day late and a dollar short, but crap I am a cheap date
“Gotta hand it to Meghan McCain. She can do stupid consistently in 150 characters or less. That’s something you have to be born with.
about 10 hours ago from web”
HAHHA
You can also read someone’s ‘Tweets’ in your RSS reader, if you don’t want to log in or sign up. That’s the best way to follow a non-frequent tweeter (e.g., ‘feets, I’m RSSing your tweets~!).
BLAST! I’ve been ignoring twitter for a few weeks, but if you’re going to be insulting idiots all day, I will make the effort to come back. Actually I can’t hate on twitter too much, it was how I found out about Protein Wisdom. No joke. I was bitching about Allahpundit and someone replied #outlaw to me. That’s how I got here!
I’ve never been clear on what it is that distinguishes Twitter from a standard blog. Can someone explain it to me?
Seems Tweep is identical but more precious, Showy. Grown men gossip and young girls type 200wpm on their blackberries there, so you know that’s maybe true. Probably both share innermost innermosts.
The little I know about twittering includes – have a short name and you get more characters and don’t havfe to say fro-yo.
Or I could be wrong.
JScoffers can try following me @ SarahWW.
SarahW and JHo, your descriptions are pretty much in line with what my impression was. I.e. that Twitter is no different from a standard blog. The only distinction is one of custom, where, for no particular reason, people are inclined to post less complete thoughts and use more abbreviated language on Twitter than they do on a standard blog. Can anyone say why that’s not an accurate description? Is there anything about the set-up, software-wise or otherwise, that distinguishes Twitter from what’s been around for ten years now?
The software limits posts to 140 characters so brevity is imposed. Also, it differs from a blog in that there’s an interconnectedness based on following, so that anything you say is sent to everyone following you. Also, it is compatible with SMS so if you care to you can send and receive your twats by text message.
Thanks, Pablo. It seems to me that the only meaningful distinction is the SMS compatibility, and that the brevity/language abbreviation is put in place to accomodate that.
Lookout! There’s two of them!
Regards,
Ric
that looks interesting. the one time I actually conk out before midnight…
oh and Ric, RTO set the other one up for Jeff a while back, but, um, Jeff never claimed it. I think is what I’ve been told.
Odd. I just joined Twitter yesterday. It seems buggy for such a popular site.
Ric,
Are you on “the Twitter”?
Oh boy! I got my first “follower” on Twitter!
Oh, wait, nevermind. It’s spam.
Maggie —
I’m happy to claim that one, too. I just didn’t know how. I’m being forced into this by necessity. To keep up with the cool cats.
ja, just email RTO. at the moment it’s mostly just a feed for when posts are made here.
I fear this is how the madness spreads. First it’s for the irony and then before you know it you’re a full-fledge twittering douchebag. Kind of like buying a PEZ dispenser on account of the cheesiness and then saying later, “shit!!! I’m all out of PEZ, must buy more PEZ.” It’s insidious business this Twitter.
whoa Abe, I’ve done that. actually, the PEZ dispensers were given to me… at first.
Q: What does the internet masochist say?
A: Tweet Me!
Q: What does the internet sadist say?
A: No …
First one’s free is always a warning sign.
Maybe I resist Twitter because I despise text messaging. If text messaging is Carthage, I am Cato the Elder.
I think I got my Romans right.
Sorry. Was answering my Tweets. Somebody say something?
All this talk of Pez dispensers is reminding me of my mother.
So STOP it, please!
Jeff,
Sadly I can’t follow your tweets in this AOR. I am happy that you are keeping the pub open.
Perhaps you might consider moving pub posts that you like into the regular section which should allow increased quantity while maintaining the tone and flavor you like at PW.
I do have an idea that is rattling around in my brain that I might post. Fair warning though it does poke a little fun at some characters I am told have thin skins.
Good clean All-American fun of course.
All this talk of Pez dispensers is reminding me of my mother.
So STOP it, please!
You’re thinking of PEZ before the age of irony. Relax and have a Pabst Blue Ribbon in your bowling shirt.
I’ve been drinking Pabst since before the new left decided to ironize it by ironizing themselves as slumming retro-yuppies.
Who if I remember correctly used to be Ivy League wingnuts.
Mickey’s Big Mouths were a favorite of mine, too.
Oh. And I wore bowling shirts in the 80s.
#
Buggieness is a feature, it shows that there wasn’t too much involvement of those dweeby people who know how to make things just work. Works like it was cobbled together by scriptkiddies between skateboard sessions in the parking lot = hip and trendy.
What Jeff G.
No Natty-Bo in your peoples republic of Maryland days?
I’d say I’ll follow you if you follow me ( https://twitter.com/SoCalXC ) but I only Tweet about, well, hang gliding
O.K., I signed up with Twitter but I don’t understand how it works.
“I’ve been drinking Pabst since before the new left decided to ironize it by ironizing themselves as slumming retro-yuppies”
Pabst Blue Ribbon?
Jeff,
They make Fat Tire in your backyard. If you aren’t drinking it can you send some my way?
Well fuck.
First you demand I give Letterman a pass, now you demand I tweet.
Good thing you don’t demand lock-step obedience, I’d be outta here for sure.
Personally, I think tweeting is populous pap, and no true “OUTLAW” gets involved in populous pap.
Okay Jeff, I put some money in the kitty.
Now alls you need is a thousand other guys like me and you’ll be all set for the year.
‘Course, the down side is, I don’t think there are a thousand guys like me.
Which is probably a good thing.
I had a bowling shirt back in the 80s too, this is getting spooky, first we start to Twitter on the same day and now bowling shirts in the 80s, do we know each other Jeff?
I bought my bowling shirt at a cool used clothing store in Haight-Ashbury, the back had “Lincoln Lanes” in velvety letters and it had the name “Frank” embroidered above the left chest pocket. I wore that shirt when I felt like being Frank with people.
With or without the raw egg?
I’ve had my share of Mickey’s. Also, I’ve packed my share of Mickey’s 6-pack cartons at the cardboard box plant I worked at. We also did Hudepohl, which almost no one I worked with had ever heard of.
Oh, also: Stylers. That G. Heileman Brewing Company sure did make a budget beer.
Hudepohl used be the official beer at Riverfront Stadium for Reds games, don’t know if it still is. Hudie Gold wasn’t bad at all.
My favorite beer from the eastern panhandle of W. Va./ Maryland area back in the day was Robin Hood Cream Ale. Haven’t seen it for years now.
Drank a lot of Stroh’s in my youth. Mickey’s also, cool bottle. Chug-a-lug.
For those of you who use Twitter a thought with practical effect from Mrs. du Toit in a comment at Moe Lane:
Less than 300 followers? Guess that’s Dan Collins’s fault. You should quit blogging again, dude. That would show people.
