Feeling like a Twit.

I've given in to the madness that is Twitter.

I've resisted it as long as I could, because there are any number of good reasons why no one needs ANOTHER "status update" program to keep up with.

But in the end, meh. Whatever.

=====

The whole idea of "followers" weirds me out a little, though.

Immediately, my mind goes to the mildly-sacriligious visual joke of Jesus having a Twitter page with nothing but a "Follow Me!" button.

Imagine the conversation that could have occured in the Gospels...


TheMessiah: I'm heading to Jerusalem, and they're gonna kill me. Who's in?

BigFishPete: @TheMessiah are you sure about that? You're not too popular there. But don't worry, we'll never let you die.

TheMessiah: @BigFishPete Get behind me, Satan.

PhillyHebrew: @BigFishPete oh, SNAP.

TheMessiah: @PhillyHebrew Phillip...

PhillyHebrew @TheMessiah Sorry, Lord.

TommyDoubtsIt: @BigFishPete What's the matter, Peter? Scared? I say we head there and all go down together.

BigFishPete: @TommyDoubtsIt Who are you calling scared, twinkie? That's it, you and me, third watch, by the withered fig tree.

HeyJude: Okay, I'm giving 3-1 odds on Thomas to pull the upset. Who's taking?

TaxMatt: @HeyJude Gimme two drachma on Pete.

HeyJude: @TaxMatt Done. There's a five shekel convenience fee, also.

TaxMatt: @HeyJude Seriously? Ugh. Not cool, man.

ThunderJohn: @ThunderJames ...Compared to this lot, we are *so* the greatest.

ThunderJames: @ThunderJohn No kidding.
