tweets worth retweeting. #TWRT

this guy is consistently hilarious:

but you probably have to have seen the movie to appreciate that beaut.

so here's another:

or how about this one:

another time machine quip:

that's one that requires a Sarah Silvermanesque sense of humor.

lots of his stuff is very timely so some it doesn't stand the test of
time.

because much of it is based on breaking news and he's quite
restrainfully concise and assumes that you're part of the news junkie
mindset, so if you're not aware of the fleeting context in which it
was offered it may fall completely flat.

or at least not be as funny as when it was totally fresh.
