Top Tweets

Not only is it Christmas season, but it's also list season. You know, that time of year when anyone and everyone are putting together Top 5's and Top 10's to commemorate the year that was. As a dutiful subject of our society I usually partake in this flurry of lists myself.

To get things started I present to you my Top 15 tweets of the year. Now, as you'll soon find out, these are all tweets composed by me. If I had planned on doing something like this I may have had the foresight to keep a running Word Document of all the tweets by others that I liked, but because I didn't you're left with only the random thoughts that I came up with over the past 12 months.

Now since this is already an extremely narcissitic endeavor I decided not to go ahead and rank the following tweets. Instead they will simply be displayed in chronological order.

Jan 3- I'm not sure if Kendrick Perkins realizes that the common denominator in all of his scuffles is him. - He still doesn't get it.

Jan 15- "The Mayans were right" will undoubtedly be the most overused joke of the year

Feb 12- There's a black guy in Maroon 5? - I'm still stunned by this.

Feb 19- Nah, Gmac, Duany, Melo, Hak, and Forth RT @RJ_Mosley Is the Lin , jr, melo, amare, chandler lineup the most exciting lineup ever created? - Let's Go Orange.

Mar 31- If the taco Erving Walker stole had a Nacho Cheese Dorito shell then I totally understand. - In case you aren't aware, former Florida basketball player Erving Walker was arrested for stealing a $3 taco and fleeing the scene. After he was caught he claimed he was, "just playing around," but he ended up having to pay $301 as punishment.

May 2- Worked on Mike and Mike this morning and found out that Greeny and Golic thought that my name was Stan Zick. - About 5-6 people at work, including the entire show staff of Mike and Mike, continue to call me Stan Zick (even in emails) to this day.

Jul 8- @GottliebShow Federer winning at Wimbledon is evidence that Tiger will win the Masters at least one more time - I stand by this comment. Federer was not the strongest or best athlete in the field at Wimbledon, but his past success there helped him out immensely and I believe that Tiger's familiarity at Augusta will help him win the Masters at least one more time before it's all said and done.
Aug 2- There's an entire drawer in my house dedicated solely to Taco Bell hot, fire, and mild sauce. - True story.

Sep 3- My junior prom date is married? Thanks Facebook

Sep 7- Just delicately walked by Amare Stoudemire in the hall way and tried not to breathe for fear of injuring him. - He ended up getting hurt anyway.

Sep 9- The Mount Rushmore of celebrities that don't age- Coach K, Bob Costas, Gwen Stefani, and Faith Hill - As it was later pointed out to me, the original celebrity that didn't age was Dick Clark.

Sep 13- I'm convinced that people only buy iPads to tell people that they have an iPad and so that their emails say "Sent from my iPad"

Sep 30- You know a TV show's going to suck when its name could pass for an MLS or WNBA team. #ChicagoFire

Oct 17- HD TV has come a long way, but isn't it interesting that it's still hard to tell if it's raining somewhere?

Oct 31- My brother shaved his head to be Mr. Clean one year and his hair never really grew back. #Halloween - Also a true story.
