Megalomania in 140 Characters or Less

Twitter has revolutionized the nation’s speech patterns in such a manner that the true Megalomaniac finally has the time to take over the world. There is not much defense against this mostly because of Twitterapathy: however, being non-megs ( as we call ourselves) we have figured out a few defenses to stop the dictator of our 140 characters to back down and admit he is just a lonely guy living with his mother with too much free time and Mountain Dew. Lets explore a few ideas and techniques.

  • When some random person starts following you, delete them quickly. He is just trying to get you to follow him as well. Nip that in the bud. Unless she is hot. Then its ok. Unless it is a dude with a hot girls picture. Then it is not ok, but horribly, horribly wrong.

Trolling Forums for the Catch of the Day, or How to Make Someone Elses Lecture Your Showcase!

Forum trollers as a literary genre are almost dead. We have YouTube now, so if we want the quick and dirty, we can point, click, and watch. But every once in a while, a site comes along that still has the good old forum section. No one reads these anymore, but if you get on an active site, you have a chance to “BE SOMEBODY, BAYBEE!”

  • First of all, be polite at first. Add viable commentary and thoughtful analysis as you can. Lowercase only. Establish yourself as a thinking person.
  • Slowly lose all control. If you cannot convince people with facts, baffle them with bullshit. Here again, lower case letters. Motivation: a slightly drunk uncle discussing politics with a 10 year old child.
  • Begin inserting catchy random phrases into your writing. Make sure, at first anyhow, that these phrases still have bearing on the topic. Save the really good ones for a little later.

Self Defense Techniques for the IRL Challenged

From time to time, according to different blog sites it is a good idea to walk outside the house and participate in society by going shopping, driving an automobile, and speaking to other human beings without hitting the Enter key. When these moments occur, it is imperative to remember two things. First of all, no one cares about your level 61 DK set. Secondly, you have to protect yourself against the huddled masses that defy meta description. Here is a list for the Facebook spammer, the MySpace uploader, and the WoW addict that will come in handy if the need arises for face time confrontation with wetware.

  • Fl;sn;s;bs <target>;fl;sn; c heal. This does not work. You cannot stack commands in real life.
  • Running away from a fight is a lot more efficient than reforming yourself to back/center.
  • If this person is trying to beat your ass, it is not a good time to ask to join his clan. Walk/run away.
