… I’m trying this new fad called, uh, Twitter. I believe it’s Twitter. Or Tweeter. It might be a long “e.” I’m not sure, but apparently you just type in whatever’s on your mind — like death threats & your favorite chili recipes & so forth. It’s supposed to be wild.
Now, by all means, please resume not talking about all the things not going on in IndyCar right now. (I wish you could see the look on your face right now. Priceless.)

I thought I was already following you on Twitter? Wow. You have a Twitter imposter, apparently.
The Doctor! You chose the wrong one, though. Bones was the best ST doctor. Both versions.

I think the devil is wearing a muffler and mittens…Welcome aboard Roy!

Oh boy. So its not enough for you to have a website where you spew mindless Indycar(mostly)drivel that I find myself hopelessly addicted to? You have to be on Twitter as well? Fine. Fine. Good. Yes it’s very good, I’ve decided. Now I have something else to occupy my time with since there isn’t an Indycar race for another 8 days, 11 hours, and something something minutes! By the way, when you get a chance, could you post that chili recipe you mentioned. Thanks.

Because I’d read that Twitter is worth a billion dollars, I thought that I might investigate what Twitter is all about, although the name sounds effete. I’d intended to be the last man in America to join something that’s probably meant for celebrities, preteens and teens. I joined, and asked to get ‘tweets’ to my cell phone, but … nothing. I have to log into Twitter or, easier yet, check the live bookmarks in Firefox to read what people have twitted. Ryan Hunter-reay’s twits are old, and I can’t read Kanaan’s Portugese…

@BrianMcKayUSA – Tony Kanaan is a riot on Twitter, at least when he goes with English (I think 85% of his followers are Brazilian…).
@RoyHobbson – Haha, wow. This content is prime stuff already. I think “tweeter” is the way the French say it. Or maybe “tweetair”.

I think hell has frozen over, at least that’s what Roy told me would have to happen for him to join Twitter. What’s next, the Silent Pagoda Facebook page?

Twitter is to the Silent Pagoda blog was the facsimile machine is to Little Golden Books.

I think it should be a requirement while the drivers are racing that they also “tweet” since everyone knows how dangerous it is to do text and drive normally. It would add a whole new dimension of danger to racing. Of course I still think the dangerous racing of the 60′s was the best, and my third bloody mary is kicking in.
