Still, because I'm old and lame, I allowed myself to be talked into Twitter. If every idiot is using this, I thought, there's a good chance these idiots will stumble across my Twitter page, on which I'll cleverly have left a link to my blog. That was my entire motivation: cynical promotion for this thing.Of course, nothing really happened. The same people who read this still read this, and nobody's come swanning in from the Twitter page. Unwilling to just walk away without at least making something of it, I started trying to update Twitter every day with the stupidest thing I could think of. I eventually slaved my Facebook status update to it, partly in objection to the surprisingly self-absorbed seriousness with which some people updated their Facebook, partly to elicit some genuine belly laughs from the few friends who likewise refuse to take "social networking utilities" remotely seriously.
After so much time making an ass of myself, I thought I'd compile some of the better updates and share them here. Feel free to click any of the thinks and choose to "follow" me on Twitter. I expect to keep this asinine exercise going. For anyone reading this who is unfamiliar with Twitter or Facebook and wondering why these are all really short one-liners: both Twitter and Facebook essentially restrict you to a 140-character limit. While it can be frustrating, it poses sort of an interesting comedic challenge.
