The Saturday morning "grumpies":
 
First, MySpace (which I do find useful), then FaceBook(kinda on the periphery but has enabled me to contact a few long-lostfriends), and now Twitter (a big f∗∗∗ing waste of time considering thatI already have my friends' direct regular email addresses withouthaving to maneuver through a another damned third-party site).
 
Typical Twitter examples:
"Woke up early, had spastic diarrhea, missed work, spentmost of the day keeping the porcelain altar warm."
"Barack Obama is a Statist, not a Federalist -- Duh!"
"Farted an real juicy one this morning just as Ileft the elevator before a bunch of people got on - hilarious."
"I'd sure like the chance to rip out a few of Britney'shair extentions, heh heh."
I can go to one of those banal AOL chat rooms if I wantdrivel like this.
 
Wrote a message to a member, hit send, was asked if Iwanted to open or save the file.  NO, I WANT TO SEND THE BLOODYMESSAGE!  I'll be fair and give it a month, but I'm beginning to feelmore like a Twatter than a Twitter.
 
You comments on Twitter?
