Coping Mechanism

As a productivity inhibitor, twitter is awesome, especially if you use the web interface. With the Denial of Service attack still in full-swing, many tweeps are trying to find something else to do with their 140 charaters. The rest are left wondering, “How did they handle things like this in the old days?” and “How can I tweet about twitter being down when twitter is down and I can’t tweet?

Until twitter gets this under control, the best we can hope for is a support group that understands. Unfortunately, we can’t tweet an invitation to other troubled tweeps, so we’re all left alone, in the virtual darkness, struggling to cope with the loss.

The Name is an Anagram

A few weeks ago, we tweeted about the world’s oldest tweep, @IvyBean104, a lovely woman from the UK. After checking twellow an exhaustive search through twitter, we believe we’ve now found the youngest.

Most babies are bubbly bundles of giggles and drool. @fromthewomb is no ordinary baby, and is, in fact, a very creepy, computer-literate, wise-ass fetus that is both funny and disturbing. If we had such a child growing inside of us, we’d call for an exorcist. Save yourself now and don’t read their tweets. And for god’s sake, don’t eat the chocolate mousse.

(It’s Friday night, and we gave you a couple of good clues. Can you guess what we’re referring to?)

Happy Birthday Nana!

Come here and let me get a good look at you. You’ve always been a pretty girl. And such a good girl, too. With that friend of yours showing up on Girls Gone Wild, I worried you might fall into the wrong crowd. But there was nothing to worry about, was there? No one will be taking pictures of a good church-going girl like you doing something that makes you look cheap. Yes, sweetie, you make Nana proud.

Wingardium Leviosa

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was released in US theaters this week. The Fail Bird is a fan, so we’ll be attending the show with a small group of our equally-geeky friends.  This week’s Friday Photo Fun introduces you to the Harry Potter stars on twitter. Surprisingly, or maybe not, there are not very many of them.

We believe the owners of these accounts are legit, but since none are linked to a live webcam, your guess is as good as ours.

How many of these characters can you name?
