@Reply: Hard to believe, considering your Twitter.

Character Overage: We suppose beating on somebody obviously still in high school is a little unfair, but, hey, throw them in the deep end or they’ll never learn to swim.

@Reply: And at the train station, some black guy is thinking “Dammit, where IS the bathroom?”

Character Overage: Maybe it’s unfair to assume this guy is racist.  After all, he is a med student: he could just be arrogant.

@Reply: Yeah, it’s irritating that they want to use the crosswalks sometimes.

Character Overage: It seems that every month, we have one Brit in the ranks.  Jimbo here is ours.  Well, at least he’s not the repressed gay Thatcher worshiper we had last time.

@Reply: That’s funny, we’re personally insulted you’re sullying Twitter.

Character Overage: Apparently Shayla here specializes in “light reactive paintings.”  In other words…she uses a lot of glitter.  Gee, and she wonders why Twitter may be lowballing her intelligence?

@Reply: You’re a music critic.  IT’S YOUR JOB TO DO THAT.

Character Overage: We’re not kidding: he’s the senior editor of a music magazine.  He’s supposed to spend lots of money in record stores.  Maybe he feels good about the tax deduction?

@Reply: No, but that’s not going to stop the rest of us from trying.

Character Overage: He calls himself an “Austinpreneur” in his bio.  First word, in fact.  “Austinpreneur?”  Really?  We understand Austinites have a somewhat inflated opinion of their fair city, which they seem to forget is still in Texas, but “entrepreneur” just wasn’t enough for you?

@Reply: How about questioning your own grammar?

Character Overage: We’d continue, but while researching him, we found he’d posted this:

…And are thus unable to think of any criticism.  Well played, Tozier.  Well played.

That’s it for this month!  We’ll be back next month with even more self-importance.  Until then, tweet mindfully, and think of others.  Especially their boredom.
