So punny, I almost forgot to laugh

Alright, I admit it. I love a pun, even if they are possibly the most maligned type of humor known to man. So when I happened upon an op-ed piece on puns by Joseph Tartakovsky in today’s New York Times, I couldn’t help but stop and read.

It’s Twitteriffic!

I am pleased and somewhat disturbed to announce that readers can now follow this blog on Twitter, if they’re so inclined. I say disturbed, because I truly have no idea where Twitter has to go at this point. It’s almost to the point where I can’t help feeling it’s jumped the shark, if you will. I mean, Senator McCain is, um…tweeting. Which I’m not sure about on a couple of levels. One, he is a very, very old person, so you know something’s reached critical mass when old white men in Washington are using it, and two, because the word “tweet” when used in this form causes me to wrinkle my nose in distaste for reasons I cannot quite explain.

Anyway, if you want to follow CopyFire, request to follow and I’ll add you ASAP, cross my heart. It’s a locked account, so only the special people like you get to read it, you lucky, lucky person!
