Tweet Week

When I first joined Twitter a couple months back, I was first brought in by its simplicity, but I stayed for the challenge.  The inherent challenge with Twitter is: How witty or humorous can I be in 140 characters or less?  Twitter gets referred to by its proponents as "microblogging," so what better place to chronicle my best (worst?) tweets than right here on my... macroblog.

With this post I'm starting a new, weekly feature (and a new label to filter my posts with) called "Tweet Week."  (I had considered, "this week in erroneous quips" but felt it didn't have much of a ring to it.)  Each friday night, I'll gather up all of my wittiest tweets from the previous seven days (with nested @reply vollies if needed) and post them in a consolidated lump. 

And now, for the maiden voyage (which has more than a week, just to prime the pump):

• With a lot of cereals, the generic is a direct, 1 to 1 equivalent, but for name brand Cocoa Puffs, there is no equal.

• My sentiments exactly. The Zune.... zucks: http://bit.ly/2lISMj

• I think that Michael Ironside is kind of a poor man's Jack Nicholson.

• Nancy Pelosi sounds like Miss Teen USA while working overtime to lie (I'm surprised to not hear her say "in the Iraq"):  http://bit.ly/gJ1Pb

• Ok, I'm about to watch a scifi cult classic which gets referenced constantly by comedians: "Scanners."

• Hypothesis: If you're under 30 and ride a motorcycle, you're probably a prick.

• Posted an old hip-hop project I did in 2004 for free download on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/pccsvk Enjoy!

• Mozart was a dirty man! http://bit.ly/oYd7

• It is a sad statement about our society's / media's unhealthy views that Kim Kardashian gets considered "fat." Are you kidding??

• Man, Beethoven was kind of a punk.

I thought there was another one that was ingenious. I can't remember what you said or what it was about, so this is helpful, I know.
