I’m scared of things I don’t understand. Scientology, the tenth dimension, the eleventh dimension(!), the soft “c”, mutual masturbation and lemurs being among those many (many) things. But, as of today, I’m adding one more to the list: Twitter.
It’s all the rage. My friends have set their statuses (statusi?) to “Tweet Tweet Twitter” on their AIM accounts. I don’t get it. I don’t even talk to you. Why would I want to be constantly updated as to what you are doing? (Asked the boy that couldn’t stop refreshing his facebook news feed…)
Doesn’t Pete Carroll have something better to do than “Tweet?” Shouldn’t he be busy running practices? Letting his hair go gray(er)? Paying for his players Escalades? Pete Carroll, to me, would seem to be a man too busy to worry about the intricacies of the interwebs.
The University of Houston just had their first spring scrimmage… You don’t see Kevin Sumlin creating a youtube clip trying to get Dennis Quaid to sign up for Twitter. Yeah, I pulled the old “famous actor and alumnus of my Alma Mater” card. Damn proud of it too.
And yet, there Pete is, fighting the good fight. Trying to get the one and only Will Ferrell to sign up for Twitter… You know, because Will doesn’t self-promote enough. I do have to say, the unintelligible man does add some nice comedy to the piece. Funnier than the girl who says her grandmother is on twitter.
Leave the twittering to the NBA players, Pete.

Listen Rex, if the music is too loud, you’re too old. Meaning, you reached an age where you’re not concerned about keeping up with newfangled technology, and it is starting to pass you by. This happens to all of us in our mid to late 20s. We start to say “what the hell is this thing for?” That’s when we start to die. Over time, we become more uncomfortable with technology, then scared of it. Then we become the old guy who can’t even telepathically virtuacast and all the kids start poking us with a stick and burning shit on our front door. And then we call that shit poop!
I’m actually serious about this – I thought “WTF is Facebook for? I’ve got my emails and my texts, and that’s enough for me.” I reluctantly joined because my brother and sister wouldn’t email me back. At some point, you realize a) Fiesta was a lot more fun when you were underage and b) kids are lazy have no respect and c) it’s time for the colon exam, and you don’t even mind that much.
If the music is too loud, you’re too old.
Get the FUCK up off my lawn!
I’m pretty sure you not minding the colon exam is based on many other reasons besides “being old”
Will Ferrell went to college? Damn, I learned something today.
That old man called the shit poop! What a crazy old bastard! This is the best night of my life!
I liked the part where they put the foreign man in front of the camera so we could laugh at him. Class.
