If I focus on that then dat means I can't focus on this money. So I'll pass sorry fa you On 1:30 PM Sep 23rd 2009 from Tweed

I don’t know what this means, but can you use “that” and “dat” in the same sentence?

I bet if you checked into it, you’d find out that Wesley Woodyard wasn’t even from the streets, he’s went to some rich kid prep school where they teach the word “that” to all the students.

Or maybe not.

I love aggressive big rig drivers- but only if the truck contains cement or milk On 6:18 PM Sep 16th 2009 from txt

That’s C.J. Wilson, relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers.

All I can say is I have no idea what exactly this means.  But I feel like I agree with it.

Also, I’m getting the fail whale on Twitter right now.  Remember when MySpace thought they could have horrible service and people would keep coming back?  That’s a topic for another day, I suppose.

We’ll try and hit you with a nice mix of short posts coupled with longer diatribes with ScottiePP7 confessing what a b-ball nerd he was in middle school.  So keep your eye out for some more random athlete tweets… which is the true beauty of Twitter in the first place, isn’t it?

And a bonus one for the road…
