i feel this should be preserved...

... before it drifts beyond the "twitterizon". bam! oh yeah. you know it (see here).

It's from _why of course.

Also known as why the lucky stiff.

Possibly he was trying to shake some of his 2600+ followers. Wonder if it worked.

I taced it for your enjoyment.

it strikes me as odd that hamburglar wears stripes. do burglars wear stripes? it doesn't suit burglars to have an identifiable dress code.

if, on the other hand, he is in custody and they are prison stripes, what sort of terms in his parole allow him on playgrounds? vexing.
11:15 AM Oct 25th from web
    
most vexing indeed.
11:33 AM Oct 25th from web
    
for now, let's assume perpetual state of chase, after escape. unable to stop, unable to change attire. endless snatching of unguarded meat. ...

searching for an academic take on this conundrum. trying: "mctrapment" "children's prisoner's dilemma" "robble ad robblium"

it amazes me that children can figure all of this out. both the paradox and the implicit stranger danger. and eat their meals on time.
12:43 PM Oct 25th from web
    
quite vexing, to say the least.
12:48 PM Oct 25th from web
    
life is so troubling. this hamburglar quandary speaks of great sadness, of a police state. a cause for obesity, indeed. were i weaker…
12:54 PM Oct 25th from web
    
i will not go on.
12:57 PM Oct 25th from web
    
i'm done, to continue would be needless.
1:04 PM Oct 25th from web
    
@bil_kleb thankyou for the warning, i'm done now.

twitter etiquette demands that i rein it in and i am doing just that.
1:10 PM Oct 25th from web
    
you have to remember that people get these messages on their mobile phones. so, if i go on too long, their phone basically keeps going off.
1:11 PM Oct 25th from web
    
and constant ringing reinforces themes of sadness, mortality, perpetually vexing things. (vexing is short for "very, very perplexing.")
1:18 PM Oct 25th from web

whereas perplexing is short for "perpetually very vexing." but i don't have time to go into that.

@klunkatronic i appreciate the warning. i'm bowing out now, while i can still save face. just trying to think of a gracious way to do it.
1:29 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to klunkatronic
    
hang on, just reading back through a few messages, trying to figure out where i was going with this…
1:36 PM Oct 25th from web
    
here's the part where i defined what perplexing was
1:38 PM Oct 25th from web
    
@mikelovesrobots I AM TRYING TO CONTACT TWITTER.COM SO THEY CAN PUT A STOP HOLD ON THESE MESSAGES BUT THEY AREN'T ANSWERING THE PHONE
1:49 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to mikelovesrobots
    
well i think everyone's going to have to give me their carriers' phone numbers individually.

enjoying a refreshing soft drink.
1:58 PM Oct 25th from web
    
the nice thing about introducing a soft drink is that i can stop there. no further explanation required.
2:02 PM Oct 25th from web
    
even if i wanted to expound, i can't. it's your basic soft drink. cool sensations, end of story.
2:04 PM Oct 25th from web
    
it sure is good, that much is for sure.
2:05 PM Oct 25th from web
    
yum!
2:05 PM Oct 25th from web
    
@klunkatronic i know you've probably moved on to other activities, but i figured out a great way to wrap this up. check it out sometime.
2:09 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to klunkatronic
    
@trptcolin yes, i adjourn.
2:22 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to trptcolin
    
folks, there is really no more to say about the drink. i'm not going there again.
2:25 PM Oct 25th from web
    
@k1rk i'm afraid i can't reply to you. these messages go to people's cel phones and they're trying to spend time with their families. ...
2:30 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to k1rk
    
@importantshock i am trying to please the people who want to know about the soft drink AND the people who just want to live their lives.
2:32 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to importantshock
    
@gustinp i know, i have been trying to keep this low key the whole time. it's you guys that are blowing this up!
2:33 PM Oct 25th from web in reply to gustinp
    
okay, whoa, i didn't mean to snap at you.
2:45 PM Oct 25th from web
    
the thing that eats me up is all these texts might be going to a regular mom baking bread and she has to take off her oven mitts each time.
2:46 PM Oct 25th from web
    
back to hamburglar, i do question clown arrest. have we become so deluded that we can't tell crimes from gags? i know i can't.
2:58 PM Oct 25th from web

example: when a clown steals something, as a joke, it's not serious. it's for fun. but cops hate being toyed with. hence this cruel cycle. ...
3:07 PM Oct 25th from web
    
i'm not a cop, so stealing doesn't bug me. but i don't like seeing a monkey dressed in a tux and a monocle, so i can definitely empathize. ...
3:13 PM Oct 25th from web
    
i hate the mcdonaldland sheriff. i can't stand burgers personified. that burger was a cow already. it had a life, so how is it a cop now?
