As TellMeLies pointed out in the Tila Tequila thread, please include these wise and wonderful tidbits in the next update of Twitterati:

"Who in the fuck is tila tequila? Is she a stripper?...That's her? Yeah, that's a stripper, son, I don't give a shit what you say." #tilatequila#wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto
@NoelleBlue: Honestly, if that guy is as funny as his tweets -- that is a reality show of real life, humor and a father/son relationship that would be a hit. His comment about dogs is now going to be my signature line, with credit, of course! #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto
Dan Abrams: I saw you on television recently and it looked like you have recently been sleeping on a park bench. Scraggly, unshaved face; rumply clothes. People at Gawker I would bet don't sleep on park benches--at least most of them don't.
Milo Tweetosopolous, you gave me my first laugh-out-loud today. Thank you. Ambulance Man: We, who are about to suffer mild to moderate pain that could be relieved with ibuprofen, salute you.
@Pinekatz: Milo, I thought about my comment. Gosh, what if its serious? What if a thromboembolic event is happening? What if your kneecap isn't where its suppose to be? I'm sorry to make light of your pain. But still, you made me laugh. Feel better soon!
This feature could be so much more entertaining if you selected tweets that were actually funny or interesting, instead of ones designed to showcase how boring and lame Twitter is. Diablo Cody's Twitter is occasionally amusing, for example. But I guess that might encourage people to stray from Gawker and explore other forms of frivolous procrastination. Tough call.
Once upon a long time ago, I ran something called a BBS, which allowed individual callers to use my home machine for fun and games. I don't know what that was about, but there were games, you could play them, and sometimes there was actual canned dialogue presented to the player! Like, they'd be in a chess match against the machine, and the chat would be, "Hey, good move."
The problem, for me, came when the callers thought those insipid banalities were actually sent by me myself! I was thus considered by my loyal users a vapid bozo.

Also, I love Busy Phillips. #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto

No, because you read Twitter so that I don't have to. Thanks!

Possibly it helps that this is my only exposure to The 140-Character-Based Website That Dare Not Speak Its Name.

Pretty soon I did something else with my time.
