Turns Out Twittering is as Profitable as Blogging

October 13, 2009

Oh wait. I don’t make money on either. So what explains my recent neglect of WillVideoForFood and obsession with Twitter? Maybe because it forces me to be terse.

Marquisdejolie found me. Did you?

You’re not hard to find.

My obsession has been ancestry.com
I found a direct relative who fought with an infantry battalion from Iowa in the civil war. He was promoted, and ended up leading a colored infantry division in Arkansas. I guess only whites could be officers. His family is listed on an 1880 census form. There is a column on the form that asks the census taker to write in if, on the day of the visit, the person is too sick to do their normal duties, and what their ailment is. The only person for whom anything is listed in this column is my relative. The ailment listed? Chronic diarrhea.

^Chronic diarrhea was a death sentence in those days.

I’m hooked on Adultswim games :(

You didn’t tweet all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Were you busy making videos or what?

5 wow October 14, 2009 at 9:04 am

He and his irritable bowels made it to 1891.

Actually, I make more from my tweeted ads than the ones on my blogs…

Wait a minute! How is THIS website not blocked from school, but Incompetech is? That is outrageous!!

Yes, this comment is entirely unrelated to the post, but I am angry, and needed to vent a little bit during study hall.

8 JimmerSD October 14, 2009 at 2:05 pm

I can’t split my attention that much..and Kevin never followed me on Twitter so life is meaningless.

9 NutCheese October 14, 2009 at 2:06 pm

Just took a beautiful morning poop.

10 marquisdejolie October 14, 2009 at 2:18 pm

^ You think ALL your shit is beautiful. Why dontcha marry it, huh?

11 Alexis Olson October 14, 2009 at 2:23 pm

@10 I don’t think that’s legal yet. Probably won’t be too much longer until it is though. Those fecal rights activists are pretty convincing.

12 xjasongarciax October 14, 2009 at 6:03 pm

@8 He’s never followed me either Jimmer! Considering I’m such an avid Twitter-er-er-er! He’s missing out!

13 marquisdejolie October 14, 2009 at 6:15 pm

^ I’ve been following you, Jason. What am I? Chopped liver?
:0

14 JimmerSD October 14, 2009 at 6:33 pm

See even chopped liver is following you Jason! (Dabs an emo tear)

15 marquisdejolie October 14, 2009 at 7:54 pm

@11
Now you’ve got me wondering if Nutcheese is a fecal rights activist and if not, why not?

16 xjasongarciax October 14, 2009 at 9:35 pm

@13 / 14 Haaa! MDJ, you’re my Old Faithful…I can count on you to be there when I send out my first tweet after a year hiatus! Jimmer, turn that frown upside down! :)

I think Nut should be crowned the FRA (Fecal Rights Activist) doo-gooder of the year! Hey, CNN’s having a vote for hero of the year…I think they accidentally left her out!

17 NutCheese October 14, 2009 at 9:55 pm

poop

18 Alexis Olson October 14, 2009 at 11:17 pm

These comments seem to derail from the blog post topic pretty quickly. (But there wasn’t much to discuss about this post anyway…)

I guess it is not without reason that Nalts called the WillVideoForFood back row “some of my bizarre online video fans” during a live interview(?) a couple weeks ago. (Or so says some dude who actually watched it.)

This blog certainly does seem to attract some wonderfully, uh, eccentric individuals.

Kevin, I would love to see a vlog where you talk about some of the unusual people who follow you. (Not me; I’m perfectly normal, got it?)
(By the way, do you even actually read these comments on a semi-regular basis?)

19 jischinger October 15, 2009 at 1:51 am

Who the hell is Kevin?
There’s a Kevin on this blog?
Since when?
Oh, That reminds me

20 Alexis Olson October 15, 2009 at 7:55 am

@19 There is a certain Kevin Nalty who sometimes shows up.
He’s been around for a while.

21 Matt October 15, 2009 at 10:03 am

@8 @12 He’s actually replied to me but still doesn’t follow. I deal with it by softly crying myself to sleep each evening while constantly refreshing his latest video in the hopes that one day my contribution may help Charlie be able to attend a modestly priced junior college.

@13 I follow you Marquis, but am admittedly afraid to click on any of the links you post.

22 Alexis Olson October 15, 2009 at 10:33 am

@21 Same here. He has mentioned/replied to me a few times but doesn’t follow me. I think NutCheese might be following me though.

23 JimmerSD October 15, 2009 at 10:36 am

@20 That’s not Nalts. It’s Nutcheese in drag.

24 marquisdejolie October 15, 2009 at 12:44 pm

@21
Afraid?

Don’t be a light weight.
:)

25 NutCheese October 15, 2009 at 1:32 pm

@Alexis I don’t follow you. I get enough of your annoying comments here to satisfy me.

26 Alexis Olson October 15, 2009 at 2:23 pm

@25 Are you sure about that? I don’t use my real name on Twitter so how do you know I’m not one of the 136 people you follow?

27 Marilyn October 17, 2009 at 8:22 pm

@25: But you love ME, right Nutcheese?

28 NutCheese October 17, 2009 at 10:05 pm

@27 Marylinn… you know I love YOU!!! Will you bitch slap Alexis please?

29 Alexis Olson October 17, 2009 at 10:24 pm

@28 Hey! What did I do to deserve a bitch slap?

Marilyn, everybody loves you. Some of us even spell your name correctly.

30 marquisdejolie October 17, 2009 at 11:06 pm
31 Alexis October 17, 2009 at 11:17 pm

@30 No. I think I did yesterday or maybe it was the day before yesterday…I don’t really keep track.

So you think that’s why NutCheese doesn’t like me?

32 marquisdejolie October 18, 2009 at 12:01 am

^Probably, Alexis. Nutcheese likes folk who stay on top of their poop.
