Regular readers know that OrangeJackass opted out of GDI, stopped actively pursuing Twitter Reciprocal Following scripts and recognizes that nobody is listening to our tweets.

It’s quite amusing to see followers continuing to pour in.

So, in true entrepreneurial fashion, we concocted a potion that we intend to sell. For a limited time, though, we’ll share our Twappuccino recipe right here, for free! Tell your friends! (Apologies to Diane Philips)

Turns out, some other folks have been talking about #twappuccino. Check it out, if you are bored.

Good God, man! This thing you have created…it is an abomination of life! Plundering the graves of long-dead threads to fuel your own sick desire to play God! I will have nothing to do with it!

Do euphemisms really make people feel any better about themselves? Example: I used to be “color blind”, now I “suffer from a color perception deficiency”. ?????. Remeber when the guy who picked up your garbage was called the garbageman? Now he (or she) is a “sanitation engineer”. Yeah, right. Employees in department stores are “associates” or “partners”. I know a LOT of these types of jobs suck, I’ve had a few, but why give them fancy names? This whole PC thing has gotten WAY out of hand.

Comments? Bashings?
