Example: "Do you twitter?" "Well, I don't normally twitter, but I have twatted." How about the nerd word of the day “twatted” – the past tense of the verb “to twitter.”

Example:

“Do you twitter?”

“Well, I don’t normally twitter, but I have twatted.”

I have felt a lot of small quakes, and I used to think they were cool, until just after 5pm on October 17, 1989. After the Loma Prieta quake it took months for the aftershocks to completely stop, and every time one occurred, it was impossible to tell whether or not it was going to stop or get bigger, louder, more intense, etc. You just couldn't tell whether this was the big one or not until it was all over. The uncertainty clearly stressed a lot of people to their limits. Once in the middle of the night, I woke up startled and pulled my girlfriend out of bed and onto the floor because we'd be safer under the bed if the ceiling caved in. I didn't even think about it, I just reacted instantaneously. People became pretty battle-weary by about the third or fourth week, even from some fairly gentle shaking events. Since then it's hard for me to describe anything that can actually be felt as "mellow." That's why they're called aftershocks. People were so edgy they'd jump a mile when they felt the first bump regardless of the Richter scale rating.

That was the early seventies.

Well I'll be a dog bone. I thought they were some sort of trophy they would wave as they crossed the finish line. :wink: So THAT’s what those oversize brassieres are for! Well I’ll be a dog bone.
