Sheboygan Scanner was funny at first, but lately it's been depressing more often than not. The tweets about the horse and the geese in the road were great.

Is it a parody or something?

^^ Ken Jennings is hilarious.

So, I started up a twitter account to tweet mostly ridiculous stuff. I currently have all of one follower, my girlfriend, but it's only been 2 days. I don't know if this is the proper place to post it, but if anyone wants to check out my idiocy and improper use of hashtags, the user name is @sorta_like_art. Keep in mind I know next to nothing about any of the subtleties of twitter.

I didn't "get" twitter until Twitter Tuesdays. After I started following @fart and everyone he follows my life is a million times better.

I was seriously one of those dummies that thought twitter was for talking about picking up toilet paper on your way home from work and now I want to yell at everyone who says that.

Well twitter is still used mainly like the facebook status feed for most isn't it? I was just wondering what insight you had to how it is better than what you use to think it was. Because, besides people like @fart and the twitter where the flash is a dick and other stuff like that, its still people broadcasting what boring thing they are doing isn't it? Your post makes me think you have some insight beyond that.

Facebook is better for having a slower, intermittent conversation with people I know personally.

I don't really think of twitter as broadcasting whatever dumb thing you're doing at the moment anymore. You can certainly use it for that, whatever, but to me it's an endless stream of jokes that I find really funny and also just a means of talking to people that I know or maybe don't know. If you have an interesting or funny thought, just tweet it.

Dianna is legitimately schizophrenic. She has an obsession with a lot of celebrities and tweets at them constantly. She thinks the band Def Leppard got their name because of her. (when her dad used to mow the grass she would cover her ears, making her "deaf" and her cousin used to pounce on her like a leopard)

Probably the most in-depth reading re: Dianna can be found in this Topix thread:
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/des...ABA8LU#comments

She also wrote some really bad comedy material she calls 'Detonate' which she sent to me after talking to her on the phone. It's filled with jokes about well..



It goes on like that for awhile. It's pretty awful.

The @dril update had me laughing so hard I had to stop reading for awhile to catch my breath.

I now check @sheboyganscan regularly, which seems to alternate between depressing and stuff like this...
