Finally thinking about getting a computer.

@jamenta: You’re going to need electricity to your house.
@droctopu5: Start slow with a standalone Pong game, then a Commodore 64, and so on.
@timdyson: Make sure it has an ‘ANY’ key for all those sites that say “hit any key to continue.” Mine doesn’t and it’s so annoying.
@Jo_Crew: Why? Your handwritten tweets are so entertaining!
@DONCARRMAC: Two words, Trail Blazer. Or one word if you own a Chevy.
@grape73: The one you are thinking about getting is now obsolete. Please think about a newer one.
@Jaysunmoore: Gateway to microwaving.
Took Tylenol PM in the morning, and was arrested.

@RickLeclercq: I once took a shot of nyquil followed by a shot of dayquil. Nothing happened!
@JoeNewberry: I suppose it is only a matter of time before you are listening to AM radio at night…
I’m trying to incorporate more swearing and abuse in my tweets, so why don’t you all go screw into things?

@vegassparkyrich: What?!? Aw man….
@PapaV: Several of the baskets used by Navajos were, however, woven by members of the NBA.
@NarrativeArtist: Now I know who NOT to blame for these shitty baskets that don’t hold anything!
@KentCarlson1: Great. Next you’re going to tell us Eskimos don’t make Eskimo Pies.
@PapaV: The NBA is also the #1 producer of knit socks among native nations.

People are telling me Ohio only has three letters to remember, but I count five. O, H, I, HI, and HI-HO. Please, get with the program.
......................
@BlueLineTSCM: Alabama=easy; kind of like pointing to the food you want on a waffle house menu.
@Reynoldsbon: How about Iowa? You probably don’t even realize you’re saying the name of the state when you do a long yawn.
@wxlvr: …Come on down, we’d be glad to have you in Ablamala… Aw, crap….
@nhalejenkins: i think you’d also have to spend less time on personal grooming and learning.
@dandelions8910: Also it’s always first on those pick your state drop down menus.
@e_phone_user: only need 3 for Ohio. Save 33% off Alabama.
@neiltwit: And Alabama spelled backwards is Alabama! Give or take.
@turner207: Maine may not be the easiest to spell, but it’s the fastest to say. That’s also important.
@robynl1230: But the sequence! The darn tootin’ sequence!
Trying to get my new nickname to catch on: “The Elegant Argentinean.”

@CorenthalJames: Wait a minute… that’s silly. Now you’re just being silly.
Haven’t tweeted lately because I’m really absorbed by a Bounty paper towel.
If you lean in real close, this tweet smells of lavender.
