tater tracker

For just a second I saw this as “Tater Cracker” and thought “well, this is going to be fun.”

the big twitter accounts

I think something happens to people when they get more than a couple of thousand followers, unless they are a known journalist, author, news org, etc.

The hand waving starts about reaching follower milestones. “C’mon people, just 400 more and I’ll have 10K.”

At that point, I suspect that the “worth it” factor starts to drop a lot, and I lose interest and often unfollow.

OK, delete Twitter, but with caution, it can be one of many useful tools.

please ready the horses

In Dark Shadows movie (2012), Barnabas Collins (vampire) is back with the Collins family again after being locked in his coffin for 200 years.

They need to go somewhere.

Barnabas asks Elizabeth Collins, “can we ready the horses?”

Elizabeth: “we don’t have horses anymore, we have a Chevy.”

Loved it!

brazen spam caller

I have to answer my work phone whether I recognize the number or not, so I usually answer and immediately hit the mute button until I see who it is.

The spam callers will usually say “hello” a couple of times plus “can you hear me,” then hang up.

Yesterday, one of the usual idiots from India, said “hello” a couple of times then ended the call with “c**k sucker.”

I didn’t have time to unmute and say “do you know me?” 😜

They are getting so brazen.
