Fave Random Tweet July 6

Fave Random Tweet July 6

(Yes, Sir Twitalot missed July 5th Fave Random Tweet due to his Twitter Account being "suspended" as many accounts were yesterday, due to what Twitter folks described as "human error. Regular readers: Sir Twitalot has refunded your money for that day.)

Today, in honor of the brain fart that was Twitter's July 5 human error, we have this fave tweet below by tweeterer:

hface31

There is a wireless network in my building called "Flatulence."


Sir Twitalot gives this tweet the fave nod, and Miss hface31, because she used the word "Flatulence" without snickering, accusing, or describing the workings of her own bowel system, or a friend's or family member's or dogs'.

Too many who tweet about flatulence are titterers, not twitterers.

But how many use that word when referring to a wireless node?

Now of course hface31 did not name her wireless network that, but it was her just-the-facts reporting of it, mixed with the unstated fact that she found it silly or entertaining makes this tweet top notch. Sir Twitalot would not have chosen it should hface31 have added a lot of snickering comments like others who mentioned flatulence today. It would have lost it's purity.

This tweet is a Silent But Deadly tweet, versus a Loud Duckbill Flapper tweet, or a Roundhouse Shaolin Monk Squeezed Tight tweet. And as such, we applaud hface31 for her restraint of words, and potency of tweet.
