  1. @SMichaelPearson Bill Clinton's 2nd try at explaining the Monaco pic: "Porn stars? I thought they were party favors!" #SlickWillieRidesAgain
  2. Just learned I'm three years too old to run off and join the French Foreign Legion. Damn, my options are drying up faster than Joan Rivers.
  3. @SizzlerKistler — In their defense, justifying the practice of A2M is difficult for just about anyone to understand, so don't feel bad.
  4. RT" @Gizmodo A helicopter dropped 955 hot dogs over Detroit today" — As God is my witness, I thought weiners could fly. #WKRPinCincinnatiFTW
  5. @charliejane — It sounds as if you share my gift for the subtleties of inflection. Whatever accent I aim for, I always miss to the left.
  6. @ibrill - I'm sure that comes as great consolation to everyone who doesn't win a Hugo, Nebula, Harvey, Oscar, Emmy, Tony, or Grammy.
  7. @Blondoid - Not only do I know of disapprovingrabbits.com, I have the book. (Before you ask, it was a gift.)
  8. Thank you, NYC, for my estimated quarterly tax bill. Now cleaning my cats' litter is the second-shittiest job I have to deal with today. #fb
  9. It's nice to wake up to e-mails that remind me my circle of friends contains some pretty darn amazing people. I feel lucky to know them all.
  10. Local cemetery wants me to buy a plot. WTF? No one buys plots anymore; it's a full manuscript or nothing. [ Punch line by @GlennHauman ]
  11. @RobertJSawyer "Mark Zuckerberg got married today. Initial pubic offering tonight." — THAT'S NOT RIGHT! … But still kind of funny. :)
  12. To all female readers of my Star Trek novels, I know the scene I'm writing fails the Bechdel Test. I apologize in advance. #BadWriterNoTreat
  13. @ozfinn — Glad you liked the Destiny trilogy. Did you read the original editions or the new, improved omnibus edition? bit.ly/Jo0KtN
  14. One thousand followers! Let the balloons drop! Start the parade! Cue the marching band! … Huh? No celebration? Damn these budget cuts.
  15. R2-D2 meets GTA-4: Best game mod EVER. Via @io9 - bit.ly/Jo0KtN (VIDEO) #StarWars #GrandTheftAuto #DroidRampage
  16. @LauraJMoss - I predict that will be the exact description of the next massive YA bestseller with a 7-figure movie deal.
  17. @BurnettRM "Guess what I have in my mouth right now? Some MR. JAMESON." I hope he's grateful. Or at least paying well. #WhyImNotInHollywood
