“@wonderlandblog: Leia is a Disney Princess now.” Of course she is. Her mother’s dead.

Not sure why everyone is sad. The virtual reality rides at Disney World are going to be AWESOME.

One thing proven tonight: if someday I’m caught in a natural disaster or terrorist attack, someone will be livetweeting jokes about it.

Melody Kramer @mkramer:
My parents called. Their power is out. They’re roasting Marshmallow Peeps in the fireplace. Easter was 6 months ago.

@mkramer I’m pretty sure that a Peep can outlast a Twinkie without breathing hard.

Sharon Hill @IDoubtIt:
I mean I know things are very bad but some people do a disservice to EVERYONE by promoting false news when the real stuff is scary.

@IDoubtIt Interestingly, NYSE flooding was confirmed by 3 news source tweets before debunked by live camera.

Dan Moren @dmoren:
I can’t be the only guy who watches @clarkgregg play Mike Casper on West Wing and pretends that he’s secretly Phil Coulson, right?

Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
@dmoren @clarkgregg Maybe HE WAS ALWAYS PHIL COULSON. #foreshadowinglikeaboss

@jeffcarlson @dmoren @clarkgregg I’d prefer to believe that his death was staged so he could go back to the White House.

“@OEDonline: OED Word of the Day: ostrobogulous, adj.: http://oxford.ly/XIwayO ” // don’t care what it means, I’m going to start using it.

Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
Hey, if the gays and Obama can be credited for Hurricane Sandy, then they also get credit for this. http://img.ly/p5oY 

Kirk McElhearn @mcelhearn:
@jeffcarlson No, because that’s god’s will.

@mcelhearn @jeffcarlson Under GOP plan, gays are specifically excluded from California weather credit until it falls into the Pacific.

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Never listen to Apple’s “nobody wants” statements. It’ll have a flying, submersible car in about two years’ time.

Jeff Carlson @jeffcarlson:
@GlennF My Asia suppliers have already shown me pictures of the flying submersible car. It’s awesome, but too expensive.

@jeffcarlson @GlennF With an Apple TV and Pippin in the dash.

Jesse Spector @jessespector:
Saw a man driving a cooler. Driving. A. Cooler. I missed out not going to a big-time football school.

@jessespector At least we have a zamboni.

Kirk McElhearn @mcelhearn:
@lexfri It looks like it’s going to be pretty bad in your area. Will you live-blog the hurricane?

@mcelhearn @lexfri I’m headed to Atlantic City precisely because the hotels there have backup generators. So yes, I will.

Lex Friedman @lexfri:
@jeffporten I’m guessing that’s a joke. If it’s not, reconsider, given their mandatory evacuations starting tomorrow.

@lexfri not a joke, was headed there because the casinos have backup generators. What’s the news on evacs?

Lex Friedman @lexfri:
@jeffporten http://NJ.com  says the governor ordered a mandatory evacuation starting from Atlantic City tomorrow at 4 PM

@lexfri Just got word that Harrah’s is indeed closed. Thanks again for the heads up, I’m hours ahead of where I would be.

Lex Friedman @lexfri:
@jeffporten Happy to help

Peter Cohen @flargh:
Keurigs are awesome. Instead of everyone having to drink the same shitty pot of coffee, now everyone can have individual shitty cups.

@flargh Also, it’s considered chic to have a coffeemaker that sounds like the name of the architect of a concentration camp.

Reuters reports Sandy will make landfall between New England and South Carolina. In other news, my IQ is between 150 and 1,200.

Marco Tabini @mtabini:
Blister packs: Designed to ensure maximum freshness and minimum accessibility to the food you paid for.

@mtabini An improvement on the original Solid Block of Lucite design.

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
Can I praise my Economist editor again for iPad mini headline “The seven-inch itch”? http://econ.st/SfMGVs 

@GlennF I hope there’s a salve for that.

I’ve been to Communist China and Russia, and Greyhound has them both beat hands down for poor service and lines to nowhere.
