Peter Cohen @flargh:
Apparently the 12yo has started a thriving black market in the 7th grade lunchroom, trading snacks he doesn’t want for ones he does.
@flargh No need to worry until he starts arbitraging third-party snacks so he can arrange the market for maximum efficiency.
Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
Papa John’s, Applebee’s & Denny’s. I’ve been boycotting them over their crappy food for years.
@Angry_Drunk Clearly you don’t get drunk nearly often enough.
Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
@jeffporten Slander! I get drunk plenty. Papa John’s is ass and IHOP is closer than Denny’s or Crapplebee’s.
@Angry_Drunk I still posit that if you’re sober enough to care, you’re not reaching maximal drunken efficiency.
Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
@jeffporten I’m never too drunk to remember that Papa John’s is ass.
@Angry_Drunk And that’s a sorry waste of your priapic limbic system.

Errant bullet from #Syria strikes #Israeli side of border, wounds #IDF soldier http://htz.li/T2WZvF
@ButcherMartin An “errant” bullet hits a soldier? Am I crazy or does that seem rather far-fetched?
Eugene Kaspersky @e_kaspersky:

.@e_kaspersky @netfreedom Sorry, I immediately discount anyone who hasn’t figured out that MAC in all caps is Media Access Control.
Jason Snell @jsnell:
I have been using the same (custom) system beep sound since I was in college. (A voice saying “Beep”)
Jeffrey Zeldman @zeldman:
@jsnell I’ve had spoken alerts that begin by saying my name since System 7 or 8.
@zeldman @jsnell Only bits I have since 1989 are a recurring annual event titled, “your birthday, schmuck.”
Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
I’m still baffled by response to Obamacare. Business owners with healthier employees will have more productive businesses at lower cost.
Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
@GlennF I think it’s fairly obvious that extended exposure to Ayn Rand causes cognitive defects.
@Angry_Drunk @glennf And she’s pushed onto high school kids, who pass her around in school parking lots. It’s sad.
“@GlennF: Business owners saying they’ll reduce staff/hours to pay for Obamacare.” Looking forward to reporting on who actually does this.
Kirk McElhearn @mcelhearn:
@jeffporten @GlennF Probably the same ones that said they’d leave the US if Obama got reelected.
“@DavidNakamura: Obama says he thinks Romney could help w/ideas for gov” // a million voices cry out in pain, then fall silent.
Kevin van Haaren @kvanh:
Head of the CIA can’t cover-up an affair and you think they’re covering up killing Kennedy, faking the moon landing and executing 9/11?
@kvanh You silly, the Men in Black are in charge of THOSE cover ups.
I remain woefully uninformed about the sex lives of both the DCI and Elmo, and am pleased as punch about this.
Patrick Matthews @matthews_p:
My wireless carrier wants to upgrade me to smart phone. They don’t know me at all. I want a dumb phone #justwantittomakefrackingcallsalready
@matthews_p It’s like the Mad magazine joke about the James Bond watch that can’t tell time.
“Hey,” said the delivery man in the bakery. “Sorry about the bad dough. This is better.”

I’ve been ignoring the Petraeus scandal until there’s actual security issues involved. Someone let me know when that happens?
Sharon Hill @IDoubtIt:
Seems like I can’t schedule a wordpress post less than 15 minutes ahead or it fails. Does anyone know how to fix this? WP-Chron tweak?
@IDoubtIt I vaguely recall that there’s a loop timer in WP. Setting short future updates might break the polling. Check codex?
Jeremiah Owyang @jowyang:
Are people still debating if climate change is happening? Last time I tweeted it about it, it triggered varying opinions.
@jowyang There’s no debate. Those who say no aren’t amenable to discussion.
John C. Welch @bynkii:
@flargh @nadyne @darxmac that’s not a challenge. I’d do a mohawk pretty much on a dare
Peter Cohen @flargh:
@bynkii @nadyne @darxmac I never said anything about on your head.
John C. Welch @bynkii:
@flargh @nadyne @darxmac and I don’t see @snipeyhead being all that thrilled with the task of shaving my privates
Peter Cohen @flargh:
@bynkii @nadyne @darxmac @snipeyhead Who said anything about shaving? I though she could just rip them out.
John C. Welch @bynkii:
@flargh @nadyne @darxmac @snipeyhead OW. fuck you, and OW.
@bynkii @flargh @nadyne @darxmac @snipeyhead “Can the Angry Mac Bastards get angrier?” just paid out at 8 to 5 on the Vegas line.
snipe ? @snipeyhead:
@jeffporten @bynkii @flargh @nadyne @darxmac I can’t leave you guys alone for a single day, can I?
John C. Welch @bynkii:
@snipeyhead @jeffporten @flargh @nadyne @darxmac nope. we’re incorrigible. Many have tried to corrige us, but failed.
Thomas von Hassel @darxmac:
@snipeyhead @jeffporten @bynkii @flargh @nadyne oops, busted …

Dan Moren @dmoren:
Actual pre-movie “Fun Facts”: “Thor’s weapon is a hammer.”“The wedding part went to a Brazilian restaurant in Bridesmaids.”
Dear god.
@dmoren Ironically, Captain Hammer’s weapon: not an actual hammer.
Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
I want one of these http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/copper-tools-long-handle-auva-garden-spade/ … mainly to bludgeon anyone who would buy one of these.
@Angry_Drunk You say that as if you have a very restrictive list of whom you’d like to bludgeon.
Darby Lines @Angry_Drunk:
@jeffporten Well obviously I would reserve that weapon for special occasions.
@Angry_Drunk The blood spatter on the artisinal copper does capture the moonlight in a lovely way.
Peter Cohen @flargh:
@jeffporten @Angry_Drunk “Artisinal Copper” is the name of my Police hipster cover band.
