This is my daily semi-demi-irregular Twaddle feed.  If you want to read my Twats directly you can go to biteme.org.

  • 12:54 I realized today that I'm not a Super Hero or a Power Ranger but an ordinary human with a great capacity. I still need to act realistically.

...14:08 still has me giggling.

So yeah, that's what they all look like to me, too. I nearly skipped this post because I can't read twitter-in-lj; I've trained myself to just fail to see it. But then the word "poop" caught my eye, overruling my brain's anti-twitter rule. Good thing! By which I mean "bad", except that I liked this post.

POOP!

I need to have another kid soon so I can prolong the life stage where people don't think it's that weird that I use terms like poopyhead.

Good thing I took a second look before defriending you.

I felt sure that my judicious use of the word "twat" would save me.

This makes me very happy. :)

I wish my friends page were full of stuff like this, but it's not easy to write that sort of thing idiomatically.

A+!

To be honest, I cheated. There's no way I could write that much non sequitur off the top of my head. Much of it is copied off randomly selected entries from the Twitter public feed (http://twitter.com/public_timeline).

At first I actually planned to capture several hours worth of the public feed and use a Markov chain to generate random text from it. But that was really just too much work for a one-off joke. Even for me.

Extra points (from me, at least) for the Legion of Super-Heroes reference.

This is totally a family-friendly post, buddy. You'll have to go over to another filter for that.
