"World welcomes 7 billionth person"? "Babies celebrated worldwide"? What? How is acute morbid overpopulation anything to be happy about?
boring_as_heck Oh, I can't check my disobedient child with the rest of my luggage? You're saying I have to carry-on my wayward son?
@QuizNiteCT So what does one do when one wins a tshirt?
"Bananaphone Off-The-Hook Dubstep Remix (First Drop Ever)": a chin-strokingly thoughtful, surprisingly listenable tune.
Of *course* there is a match for "banana phone dubstep remix". Why wouldn't there be?
@mattgemmell best I've found is "roll up only logged notes", and then don't log any notes :-/ Please RT any better solutions that you find?

@wessven Well, of course. And that's what we're talking about - whether people (currently) feel demeaned by a term ("girls" in this case).
@wessven Calling somebody "lady" is rude. "Hey, lady, watch your step." "Sit down, lady." There's no equivalently disrespectful male term.
@wessven Exactly. "Past sell-by date. Couldn't find a man. Old maid." There's no equivalent for men. Bachelorette is a new word to fix this.
@wessven An unmarried female is a spinster. Bachelorette finally gaining traction, but still. Try calling somebody you don't know "lady".
@avesse @OfficialCSA @TashJoeZA Even "lady" (HEY, LADY) is worse than "lord". And I don't need to mention slut vs stud.
@avesse @OfficialCSA @TashJoeZA Most female counterparts for acceptable male names are demeaning (witch/wizard, spinster/bachelor)
mandyjwatson @vhata Also, a web site that currently isn't working and lovely "fuck you" clauses in the new "rules and regulations".
With typical attention to detail and professionalism, the @sablogawards email has two spelling/punc mistakes, and hazy grammar at best.
@jeremysetzer Yes please!
helenzille @deepfriedman I believe you started the @helenzille #askhelenzille trend. Legend. Lunch?
@fuddlemark Mahna Mahna?
Right, I think the rest of the day is Muppets videos on youtube.
Why *do* hairdressers ask you what you want them to do? Is it just vague curiosity about whether it matches what they're going to do anyway?
@kerry_anne You give your cats drugs?
I got censused. The census taker couldn't believe I didn't have a TV. Totally bought that I had no chickens, though.

@ripienaar "Windows is so easy to use that I didn't need to learn anything" - what?
@mattgemmell cunningly ensures that everybody who follows him on twitter will know when to send him birthday wishes next year.
@becsplanb I did watch it, alas, but I didn't see the tuna melt sandwich she was eating?

@QuizNiteCT That's the weasel coffee? No, wait, it's a civet. The beans have been eaten by a civet cat, and come out the other end.
@megangodsell Sterkte, skat :) Goeie nag.
@megangodsell A false start is worse than no start - let's see how it plays out. (And yes, I deserved that reaction from you.)
@megangodsell Honey, I'm reading it all, like you. And I'm glad they're dissenting. I just wish they would tell us what they actually want.
@megangodsell What are those guys trying to achieve again?
To the granny driving the Datsun who was getting DOWN with her hands in the air at the red traffic light: I salute you.
So, "dale" (as in valley, as in "over hill and dale") and "neanderthal" and "dollar" all share a common root word: http://t.co/CJmsQqlI

Having turned 32 yesterday, I'm a bit sad I won't have a birthday that is a nice round number like that till I'm 64...
dyled I miss you like a comments section misses the point.

Steve Jobs was a Buddhist, so, not in heaven. But, being who he was, presumably he'll be reincarnated as, like, Morgan Freeman or something?
viiShrugged Annoying Facebook changes, no iPhone 5 and then Steve Jobs died. Be nice to white people, they're having a hard week.
mko I just donated to The American Cancer Society in memory of Steve Jobs : http://t.co/Iu2Tz5ym

I've reached the stage in looking for my lost wallet where I'm actually checking that I didn't leave it in the fridge. Or microwave.
littleidea You say 'PaaS don't need DevOps', I hear 'Dear Eloi, live a toil-less life and return to your caves when the sirens are on'
Just stop reading an article when it says "all the new languages, like Java or C++ or Python".
DeepFriedMan When people make fun of @Julius_S_Malema's calls for nationalisation, he feels a little bit undermined.
@Bardellis Have a look at http://t.co/2wtsTghv - it's a good introduction to using foursquare to promote your restaurant!
