Trending Topics


I've been a casual Twitterer for a few weeks now, and my favorite part (besides following the banter between IAmKellyFierce / Kelly Kapoor and veRY_ANgelic / Ryan Howard) are the trending topics. This is where someone starts a hashtag followed by a topic and people tweet their answers. You have to follow your answer with the hashtag code so it is easy to find. A few of the recent topics have been:

#geekpickuplines
  • My tweet: "You make my heart skype a beat"
  • My faves (and the only ones not grossly inappropriate):
  • My name's Vista. Can I crash at your place tonight?
  • I less than 3 you (I <3>
  • Girl, I know your data is safe, cause you know how to back that thang up
  • I wish I was a tangent, so i could lay adjacent to your curves!
  • Can you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del? Because I froze when I saw you!
  • You auto-complete me.

#crapsuperpowers
  • My tweet: The ability to remember the tonnage price of manilla envelopes (Jim pondered the usefulness of this on The Office)
  • I also couldn't resist replying to the girl who said she could repeat all 50 states in alphabetical order in 60 seconds by claiming I can do it in 18 seconds. Hey, if you can't brag to total strangers on twitter, who else is going to not care about this amazing ability I possess?
  • My faves:
  • the ability to see 1 second into the future
  • the ability to shoot ketchup from your fingertips, but only underwater
  • the ability to smell unscented candles
  • the ability to put your pants on both legs at a time
  • the ability to perpendicular park
  • the ability to fall asleep when in danger
  • visibility
#nicerfilmtitles
  • My tweet: Economically Challenged Winner (Slumdog Millionaire) and Harry Potter and the Teacup of Chai (Goblet of Fire)
  • My faves:
  • The Slow and the Easily Befuddled
  • Star Peace Episode V: The Empire Offers Concessions
  • Star Disagreement Episode V: The Empire Sends a Strongly-Worded Missive
  • Star Passive Agressive V: The Rightfully Elected Democratic Government Obtains UN Sanction Support
  • Star Wars Episode One: The Family Dentist
  • Mission Implausible
  • O Brother, I Found Thee
  • Slightly In Need Of Dermabrasion Face
  • The Height-Weight Proportional Lebowski

Do you recognize all of the "real" movie titles? Leave a comment with any additions to these topics!

    You realize that when the baby comes you probably won't have time for all this important computer work, right? ;o)

    Interesting - makes me want to twitter! However, I had to give up facebook for 2 weeks (until last night) because I was getting ADDICTED! So maybe twitter wouldn't be such a good thing?...we'll see.

    Hopefully I'll still be able to post, but possibly the posts will have more substance! I feel like I have nothing to talk about besides the dog since I try not to bring work into the public realm. When life is boring and sciatica keeps me on the couch some nights-- all there is to do is Twitter!
