But how would it be a steampunk tea party if you weren't wearing some crazy outfit?  like my brother's crazy plague doctor mask?



I just don't know

My friend reports that your brother is a lovely individual and his last name is lots of fun to say.

I guess that means my last name is fun to say too?  It's certainly something that nobody ever pronounces correctly the first try.  The best I can usually hope for is that they get the syllables mostly right but the emphasis wrong.  And even that is rare.

Pretty much!  I have no idea how to pronounce your name, except for my friend's version, which had three syllables with emphasis on the middle one (hy).  I doubt that's right, but it seems like a hoot.

Though I'm on both twitter and tumblr, I use them infrequently and wouldn't really consider them useful, per se.

They can be fun, though. And I think they can be useful for businesses, if they're used correctly. For example, there's a frozen custard place here that uses twitter just to post their flavours of the day every day. They don't post anything else. I love it, and sometimes it gets me to go there when I otherwise wouldn't.

I use the TWURT hash tag when my posts have little to do with anything but my need to make jokes on the internet.

It's Twitter Takedown day I've decided!  I took down alexandra by saying she goes to Momofuku a lot, and I took down the singer from Flaming Tusk because he's all "GUYS THE WORLD IS ENDING BECAUSE I AM GETTING PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES, WHO WOULD EVER IMAGINE ME WEARING SOMETHING LIKE THAT."  Do you want to be taken down by the TAKEDOWN MASTER?  Twitter at me, son!

So the lady wants to go to this place and I told her that you were the expert of noodlery.  I think I said "She's probably the mayor or something." GOOD TO KNOW I WAS RIGHT.

AKA, there will be ramen.

I'm kind of imagining a noodle-themed Mayoral outfit... something with a noodley sash maybe.
