Hope you like Star Wars, because starting in 2015, it’s gonna be one every year.

- Conan O’Brien:
Hey @BenFranklin… technically, the first person to be electrocuted discovered electricity.
@ConanOBrien @benfranklin Ben still wins for French whores.
- Seth Mnookin:
He was released. “@JohnLloydTaylor: @sethmnookin what happened to the naked guy in boston? Why does so much of this story make no sense?”
- zach:
@sethmnookin why was there shooting if sus2 was in the boat the whole time? Everyone saying he was unarmed.
- Seth Mnookin:
Really? ‘Everyone’? Or Internet nutters? MT @zt46: @sethmnookin why shooting if sus2 was in the boat? Everyone saying he was unarmed.
- Paul Peppers:
@sethmnookin how did bos police “know” it was sus2 in boat (when firing flashbangs) as opposed to (yes longshot) a 3rd party
- Seth Mnookin:
All they knew was it was someone who fired shots at them. MT @ppepp: @sethmnookin how did police know sus2 in boat when firing flash-bangs?
@sethmnookin I was surprised that so many people called flash-bangs non lethal. Not so at close range.
- Glenn Fleishman:
Beecher’s cheese about half off. Why? I don’t care. I bought a huge slab. http://yfrog.com/kjtvpzyj
- Dan Moren:
@GlennF Bought my mom and aunt cheese knives from there when I was last in SEA (it’s their family name, my middle name).
- Glenn Fleishman:
@dmoren Hilarious! They are the Apple of cheeses, by which I mean they have obscene profit margins for what is an exceptional product.
@GlennF @dmoren $10 a pound! Clearly, this is a man flushed with Jeopardy success.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @dmoren But half off! A bargain. It is the best cheese in some ways.
@GlennF @dmoren I judge all my cheeses by the ease of removal of the cellophane slice wrap.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @dmoren Cellphone slices?
@GlennF @dmoren only when I buy the off-off-brand. Cheap, if a bit chewy.
- Kirk McElhearn:
@jeffporten @GlennF @dmoren It must be tough living in a country without Good Cheese.
@mcelhearn @glennf @dmoren it must be tough living in a country without good nachos.
- Kirk McElhearn:
@jeffporten @glennf @dmoren Nope, not at all.
@mcelhearn @glennf @dmoren I eat well when I’m in Europe, but I’m usually craving something horribly American when I get back.
- Kirk McElhearn:
@jeffporten @glennf @dmoren You can get a lot of American food in most of Europe.
- Kirk McElhearn:
@jeffporten @glennf @dmoren I’ve never seen Twinkies though, over here.
@mcelhearn @glennf @dmoren sure, but why would you?
- Kirk McElhearn:
@jeffporten @glennf @dmoren Because there is so much other American food.
@mcelhearn @glennf @dmoren these days, neither do we.

@ZakSmithSabbath – it’s more smarts than size. Pitbulls cld choke us with the chain we walk em on if they were capable of thinking it thru
- Zak Smith:
.@dylearium But don’t you think that evolution would’ve given them (or at least pigs) that instinctive tactic if we were as slow as Huts?
- Avram Grumer:
.@ZakSmithSabbath @dylearium On the other hand, maybe Jabba was addled by drugs and booze?
- heresiarch:
@avram @ZakSmithSabbath @dylearium He was kind of a late-stage Hutt as well, wasn’t he? They’re more sprightly when young.
- tnielsenhayden:
. @heresiarch @avram @ZakSmithSabbath @dylearium I’ve always assumed Jabba was notably debauched. Being kinky for female humans is bad form.
@tnielsenhayden @heresiarch @avram @zaksmithsabbath @dylearium I’ve always assumed Jabba didn’t care & that was the invention of fanservice.
- Josh Centers:
Interesting how quick the 60 Minutes account was suspended. Does Twitter usually ban hacked accounts?
@jcenters if it took more than an hour, would have to rename the account.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten Good point. Two hours would be 120 Minutes, and that’s a whole other show.
- Marcia Hofmann:
lol RT @HuffingtonPost Fox News accidentally claimed Zooey Deschanel was one of the Boston Bombing suspects http://huff.to/15rVbUi
@marciahofmann A few journalists were trying to confirm that picture. Unsure if it was Photoshop.
- Karen Lopez:
And, yes, that last tweet was snark.
@datachick “All men” has a larger evidentiary base than “all Muslims”.
- Karen Lopez:
@jeffporten That’s my point.
@datachick Oh. Well, chalk one up for tweeting the obvious.
- Wil Wheaton:
I want to start a Land of the Lost convention and call it Chaka Con.
- Joe Kissell:
@wilw Wow, you make one pun about Land of the Lost and everyone decides to pylon… #ChakaCon2013
@joekissell @wilw Anyone who’ll Marshall the Will to attend #ChakaCon2013, Holly back!
- Daniel Jalkut:
Walking around Montréal, people-watching. Had an “I can’t believe these people all have health insurance” moment, then my head exploded.
- Scott Morrison:
@danielpunkass sorry but head explosions aren’t covered for visitors under Canadian Health care
- Daniel Jalkut:
@smorr Fucking Canada!
@danielpunkass @smorr Check your wallet; if the money looks like Monopoly cash, you may be eligible for the insurance rider.
