'aroused'? if so, no wonder it's getting as catchy as internet porn


note: at the film theatre last night, the teen gal to the front left of me was glued to her bright and irritating blackberry and had both thumbs keying in stuff occasionally (and frantically)...i imagine she was twittering...i was going to protest but it looked like the usher standing to the side was doing the same thing...i'm glad someone limited the tweeting to 140 characters or she may have never taken a break at all

Rather disturbing article, with a mention of twitter :

are not jurors locked up so they don't have access to this stuff?

i read this article from the waiting room paper while twiddling (not twittling!) my thumbs while my vehicle was in sick bay today...I didn't get a lot out of it other than if i lose my wallet i will regret not being a my spaceman, facebookie or twitterer...however, i am a youtubester with no regreats and have reaped many rewards

I guess judges will have to be much more specific about what jurors can read/research and twitter about..

Scott Feschuk - Macleans Magazine:

Take that, Twitter (I mean, Tk tht Twttr)
I registered on Twitter a while back, and even wrote a couple tweets, but like many people I’ve found it difficult to adapt to the site’s limit of 140 characters per entry. Simply put, that’s way too many characters.

Just like the hip kids today, I harbor a pathological urge to use the chrome-shiny faddishness of social messaging to inform others of my every thought, observation and activity – even when such musings, were they to be uttered verbally, would prompt everyone within a 20-foot radius to contract an acute case of who-the-f%!#-caresosis.

But typing 22 to 24 words? Dude, who’s got the time?

That’s why I’m introducing my new messaging utility, Bwh.

Bwh allows you to keep in touch with friends, update colleagues and perpetuate the illusion that your daily tedium has subtle undertones of meaning. But it does so while keeping postings to a more reasonable number of characters: nine.

Also, no vowels.

Did you totally sleep in? Let the world know you totally slept in. Just log on to Bwh and type: “Ttl slptn” Future generations will cherish your insight into the human condition.

Did you come across something really boring on the Internet? Warn everyone with Bwh: “www=zzzzz”

Did seeing a dog in a pet store window make you sad? Don’t keep that kind of emotional gold to yourself. Bwh it! “dg = frwn”

Bwh is the future of social messaging, web-savvy interactions and desperate cries for attention. Start Bwhing now before starting to Bwh makes you seem helplessly trendy.

pst = hlrs

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

I have found that I need vowels .. spin that wheel !
lol

deciphering that gave me a hdch..

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

i think no consonants would be far more interesting (and lead to exciting misunderstandings from the potential ambiguity)

o=iaiou

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

Name that tune JJ - Old MacDonald Had A Farm?? - ei-ei-o ??
;)

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

OI have at times amused Susan not with twitterings but some schoolboy acronyms
I guess everybody knows what SWALK means
but how's aboot
CAPSTAN or BURMA??

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

lol, and sometimes y...

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

o=iaiou

? = hilarious

I don't think JJ was doing the acronym thing.
Acronyms are a different subject altogether..

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

oh yes, char... mine was just an attempt at the converse to 'pst = hlrs' .... in that case o = post .... just a guess


john, i only know EGBDF and FACE ...yours appears kinkier

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

I deleted my post.....so do not think charlene and jj are talking to the wind.

"MEDIC!!!!"


these letter/word games remind me of the old Definition gameshow that we were subjected to up here for 15 years...it was like Wheel of Fortune but interesting in that you had to give a letter away successfully to the opponent before picking one for yourself before solving the puzzle

the announcer was Dave Devall who had that great voice in so many commercials and brought us our cold, wet and/or snowy weather since before I was born...now a Guinness record for longevity

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

I'm watching Dave now-years ago his wife used to cut my hair.
He's a class guy for sure.

i forgot you only allow relatives of celebs to cut your hair

ever since i was wee, i tried to figure out how he wrote backwards

i still haven't got it quite write, heh heh...you always know it's truly OVER when you hear the bagpipers (after all, that's how they start each Leaf season, lol)

Re: Twitter (random thought)
 

When I've heard the bagpipes over the last several years I always look for Glen Healey to be leading them..be it at the Leafs home opener or at a soiree like a retirement party..
lol

yeah - my hair is cut by only by those within 2 degrees of separation..maybe 3.
lol

What I like about Summertime Dream is how it encourages pure, innocent fun, and that a person can have one hell of a good time having fun without all sorts of things, just an ol' swimmin' hole & a tire swing. Nothing fancy.
