Chris Walker Vs. So Much For This Post

Fuck TwitterPhotoshopped by Chris Walker.

I quickly threw together the jpeg you see above a few weeks ago and was just waiting for an opportune time to post it. It’s no longer applicable; I am a total liar. I am now on Twitter.

C’mon, though. Tony Kornheiser, Trent Reznor, Tony Reali, Michael Ruhlman, Michael Bauer, Lindsay Lohan, all of my favorite people are on Twitter. (Even Pockets, unbeknownst to me, is there.) Kornheiser, on the official Pardon The Interruption thread, or TwatSpace, or whatever it’s called, has to be followed. He’s hilarious. So I caved. “You can’t fight the future,” someone undoubtedly said before that phrase just popped into my head. You really can’t.

So, where do we go from here, friends? Do we just awkwardly part ways like some regrettable one night stand? Or do we stay together, share a forty of King Cobra, and maybe get some chorizo? That sounds nice, doesn’t it? What do you say, I follow you, you follow me? We follow each other and maybe sometimes we’ll follow side-by-side, holding hands, twatting our hearts out as one? Let’s do it. I want this to work between you and I, I really do… unless you’re pregnant after that one night stand, in which case I’ll see you on pushyoudownthestairs.com. Just kidding. Not really.

FOLLOW CHRIS WALKER VERSUS ON TWITTER.

Be sure to leave your, um, TwatSpace or TwatAddress in the comments, or in my inbox, whatever, so I can follow you. We’re going to have so much fun together. Promise.

    I love Twitter. I feel as if it’s a High School English class, daily brain-teasing exercise. Those were always fun for me; you’d get to class and on the board there would be instructions, typically to write down the sentence and correct its ill grammar, or perhaps to decode random puzzles like: amUous (amBIGUous). Twitter allows me to get online and consider, in a scant 140 characters, what I am doing. I get the opportunity to be choosy with my letters, meticulous with my punctuation, and serious about my wording. It’s the Haiku of social networking sites. The dignified, simplistic update with instant gratification. Is it me, or does everyone seem (generally) happy on Twitter?
