Twitterisms mostly from earlier this week (Part 2 of 2)
January 18th, 2008 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
Follow me on Twitter, or wait for the highlights here:
- Word I’d like to ban from the dictionary: “Progressive.” It just sounds smarmy and holier-than-thou, doesn’t it?
- @jbacardi - I hate the word musically and politically. And when used as a car insurance name, to boot.
- I love GMail and all, but it always crashes after I download an attachment.
- Life Lesson Everyone Should Know Instinctively: Don’t buy food at the dollar store.
- So far, no referrals to the blog from StumbleUpon.
- @ronxo - I barely pass “Slow Ride” on the Hard level. It’s painful.
- Crap! Someone returned what they bought to Amazon. I just lost most of my Associates points for the month. Sucks.
- Never ever under any cirumstances play that R.E.M.I.X. song on Guitar Hero. My wrist still hurts.
- The ref making all the calls at the Giants game looks like Joe Torre’s skinnier brother. No wonder all calls go NY’s way. ;-)
- Good to see the Cowboys hired Chuck Knoblauch as their snapper. [TWO Chuck Knoblauch references in one week! Crazy.]
- There is no such thing as a “wrinkle free” shirt. Don’t let ‘em fool ya.
- If you want something done right, don’t give it to a committee.
- I know we’re all waiting for the SteveNote announcements tomorrow, but I’m more excited about potential Canon Camera announcements the 24th. [See previous post — this Twitter is from Monday. My, how time flies.]
- @jbacardi - I’ll see your Simone Simon and raise you a Michael Michele.

Yeah, well, congrats on the Giants beating the Cowboys — but they’re gonna lose against the Packers! Go Pack! :D

Simone Simon was the most beautiful woman to ever grace the silver screen. I like acoustic progressive music. Keep plugging away at Hard, you get used to the orange button with practice in no time. And the only true wrinkle-free shirts I have found were at Brooks Brothers. Of course, wearing them I always feel like Ted Knight in Caddyshack. “B-b-b-b-BUY BUSHWOOD?!?!?!”

It should be: “If you want something done, don’t give it to a committee.”
