    I'm pretty sure that "riding Tony Hawk's tunnel" and "riding Tony Hawk's half-pipe" are two distinctly different experiences. #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto

    I still don't understand Susan Orlean's obsession with @mashable. Is she _actually_ in love with him? As unlikely as that sounds, it's even less likely that she is in love with @mashable's tweets, which are a compendium of tech-geek wanking. Please explain.

    The Mediaite BURN would be slightly more effective if you took the extra second to learn that his name is Steve Krakauer. Abbreviated Twitter handles can be so confusing!

    @The Cajun Boy: Please add me to the list of those who are disappointed. I enjoyed pretty much all your posts; I liked your responsiveness and I really liked the fact that your material trickled out over the night, like you were up with the rest of us and not just shooting your wad before going to bed.

    BTW: I've glanced at your blogspot a couple of times looking for an explanation and I'll certainly give this "Animal" site whirl. Good luck.

    They actually made a movie called RAID ON ENTEBBE that could probably be looked at as a precurser to Munich/Inglorious Basterds. My mother loves it.

    I find Toure so fucking irritating as a Twatter.
    He writes like he's sharing some secret black opinion with the masses on any number of subjects, and anytime he's called out on that, his position suddenly becomes incomprehensibly convoluted.

    It's entirely possible that it only requires one hand to do justice to Toure. They're about four inches wide, on average.

    Said it once before, but it bears repeating: Twitter makes the smartest people sound like self-involved numbnuts. Except for Susan Orlean. She always sounds adorable.
