Edgar of all trades

I’d like to say that my friends on twitter are most definitely “Leet” I currently have 1337 followers.

Thought this geeky achievement was worthy of noting… I usually don’t talk about my numbers because, as I’ve said before, it isn’t really the follows you have, but the followings you yourself have made. Most, not all, of the people I follow on twitter, I have met or made some sort of connection and would love to meet. Mostly, if someone interacts with me and makes a point to do so, I end up following back.

I avoid following most celebrities, unless I just really enjoy them or they are friends with someone I know. I will be proud when I hit 1k follows because I would have known most of them personally.

Anyway, as a geek, 1337 has a special meaning and it is the reason for today’s post.

Have a wonderful day!

Sometime ago… one, two, three years ago? I challenged @Fitz to a karaoke battle, of sorts, on what was known as Utterz dot com back then (now its utterli but its having issues). Cool twitter-like site where you can upload video and sound and it had a nifty idea behind it.

Well, really I was being silly and I just wanted to make a fool of myself by singing stuff…

I wanted to make up a song and the first thing that came to mind was a parody of Puttin on the Ritz called Puttin up with Fitz. Unfortunately, it came off as an insult, which I quickly fixed (I hope I did) because it wasn’t so at all. It goes with the parody.

At the time @leahjones was featured on a news story in the Chicago Tribune, and we were in the midst of tweetups and lunches with twitter pals (@1god). @BleuCaldwell was setting up some meetups or something through twitter at the time too, I think.

@gar_cia and @ceelos would also complain about a stinky coworker (not @Fitz) that would poop and not properly flush, along with other even more gross things he would do.

My sister had just joined twitter and I joked that her handle @yeseningles was one word but I really knew it was Yes en ingles (Yes in English). I think that properly tells all the inside jokes…

Oh no… Prima Nalgotas… @gar_cia‘s cousin was dubbed Prima Nalgotas and we would, from time to time, ask where she is on twitter “Donde estas Prima Nalgotas?”

For your enjoyment:

Ahhh, the good old days…
