So, for one of my art classes, I was forced asked to create a Twitter account.

Since I've always been of the mind that Twitter is essentially the equivalent of simply shouting the minutia of your everyday life to random passers-by on the off chance that one of them might potentially give half of a crap, I've never bothered to muck around with it, and I went into it with the mindset that I'd just be deleting the frigging thing the second that this term was over.

Things got worse when I completed my signup. Apparently, Twitter is so drunk off its celeb connections that it now has started assuming that nobody uses it except to stalk famous people, and it was legitimately giving me pointers on how to do so. Completely disgusted by the idea, I of course made it my mission to follow nobody at all, which royally pissed off the Twitter gods, and I'm not allowed to continue with the account tutorial until I pick five famous people to be annoyed by.

However, this got me thinking. What if all of us decided as a group to try Twitter-stalking a different celebrity every month? Once a month, we'd all directly tweet a random celebrity, asking them a question, telling them we think they suck, whatever, and see if any of us could get a response. Whoever gets the best response gets to pick the next celebrity - and if nobody does, we all just make a suggestion and random.org it.

At worst, it'd be a colossal exercise in wasting time, but if it works out properly, it could make for some hilarious times. What do you guys think?

I posted that all I wanted were birthday wishes from [insert random survivor player] last year on my birthday. I got a cryptic response from Brett urging me to purchase a t-shirt and a tweet from Fishbach calling me out on my bullshit

I also got Brett to retweet me once

I stalk famous people on the NDim account. It's not stalking if they put all their shit out in the public domain.

I'm in, this is all I occasionally use Twitter for now.

Lately I've been "stalking" the King of the Nerds kids on TBS. I got a retweet from the pink haired girl (TradeChat) most recently. In the past I was able to wrangle a back and forth with the guy who plays Hodor on Game of Thrones about World of Warcraft, a reply from Shelly Martinez (former WWE "diva") about Matisyahu, the Jewish rapper fellow, and a few replies from a handsome stand-up comedian named Colin Kane that I don't even like. Checking them just now his last tweet to me (a year ago) was asking for my email address.

He wanted the D.

There was also this on-air producer of a Sirius XM radio show that I would hate tweet. It wasn't until I realized that he apparently really hated truckers that I was able to get a reply out of him by pretending to be a trucker that focused exclusively on trucking cat food around the US.

Henry if you remember Danny from O&A, it was him. He got fired for some shenanigans during a One Direction concert and now works at Rockstar games. Lazlow hires all of the people that get fired from O&A.

^ lol trucking around cat food. Hahaha, you're crazy son ;D

I don't recall names that good, can't propperly put names to faces, but like 90 % of the people involved in the O&A show are hilarious to listen to, so nearly everyone. even FEZ (:

Good to hear someone jumped on the R* boat again. Awesome news really, thanks for the mention btw. Lazlow is the MAN for hooking the parties up, even though he has a clown's name. Probably gonna hear Danny in GTA V then I guess....in september, I guess....and who the fucks knows when it's gonna be on PC, 2014, I guess... *shrugs*
