Serial Tweeting

So I just tweeted:
Is it fair
to commit
serial Tweets,
to write chained
thoughts
like old highway signs
advertising
Burma Shave?
Or is the challenge
concision,
to express a thought,
like haiku,
in the narrow
compass
of 140 characters?
If the first
then only 
perseverence
delays the appearance
of the first novel
in mini-installments.
Silly.

In doing so I discovered that one may not write "on twitter" in a tweet alone, as the program interprets that as a request to follow twitter.

Marketing as Stand Up

Seen on a toilet carton: "The Global Performance Toilet." 
What were the copy writers thinking? 
Did no one of the many who approved the copy think of the implications?
What blind dedication.
No sense of humor whatsoever.

Truly appreciated by many, surpassed by only a few


The art of Social Science: Choose a conclusion. Formulate questions whose answers support the conclusion.

It is Too Larff!

Digby at Hullabaloo quotes Dennis Hartly on the Seattle Film Festival:

(Apparently, the French adore “comedies” steeped in discomfiture.)

Mais oui, mais amies, don't you?


Prat fall. Slap Stick. Juxtaposition.


What is comedy if not discomfiture?
