Fun with Twitter: #JaneAustenAtTheSuperBowl.

[bleever]

Roseanne Cash started a Twitter meme that is turning up some gems, such as:

"Some ladies are determined to sport bonnets made of cheese. I must take to my bed."

And,

"A player was touched in a MOST clandestine area. It has given me quite a turn, but I shall soon be myself again."


Lots more at the link. You don't need a Twitter account to read them.

1. From calindrome:

Tis a unvrsl truth acknwldgd that a single man in possession of a good football must be in want of a wide receiver #JaneAustenattheSuperbowl

[bleever]

2. More:

"Accompany Mr. Roethlisberger unchaperoned? Mother would never allow it, what with his reputation."

And,

"Her letters were always long expected, and always very short. 'J-E-T-S' she scribbled. "Jets, jets, jets."

3. "Humor inspires all manner of unseemly sounds, I shall collect myself presently

and K&R Mr. Bleever's missive forthwith."

6. She is so good at that.

I've talked to her several times on Twitter, but I cannot get the Jane Austen voice down.

7. Most folks are "re-purposing" famous lines

from her books and letters.

8. Regarding the Legume Chorale...

"Regarding the Legume Chorale, it grieves me to note that the spectacle exceeds the musicality"

:rofl:

[bleever]

9. Most excellent.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a Super Bowl this much while sober.
