It’s time to put MediaMonkey on shuffle again, but this time with the filter “Love” so that it only plays songs with the word “love” in them. It’s Valentine’s Day, so it was either “love” or “murder.” I decided to go with “love.”
Suzie and I pretty much boycott this commercial holiday that has no relationship to love anyway. Seriously, go look up the origins of the holiday. Instead we do cool stuff without all the hearts and candies: like going to the Gothic Ball in Austin!

This week’s attempt to be funny on Twitter from 3/22 to 3/29 (posted in order of Tweets). I left for Austin, TX in the middle of the week for the American Atheists’ Convention (#AACON13) and basically ignored social media while I was having fun.
3/24
It’s #SuperSoulSunday, where God finally picks a winning team and announces it on Oprah!
FOX Sports’ coverage of #SuperSoulSunday is brought to you by Playtex: when the going get’s tough…
It’s halftime here at #SuperSoulSunday and Jive Talkin’ leads by a gimme five over the Funky Fresh.
The scheduled #SuperSoulSunday Parade has been canceled: cuz everyone’s gettin’ down!
Oprah has a #SuperSoulSunday: Don Cornelius spins in his grave.
In celebration of #PalmSunday, I’m giving myself hairy palms!
“Can’t you see I’m going blind?” – Korn’s tribute song to #PalmSunday
How come environmentalists aren’t all up in the shit of Christians for destroying trees on #PalmSunday?
I think #PalmSunday is Christian code for “we can masturbate without guilt today.”
If #PalmSunday fell on a Monday, would we encounter a parallel universe?
I think it’s pretty funny that it took an atheist to get #PalmSunday trending on Twitter. Go me!
I was going to celebrate #PalmSunday, but then decided to celebrate #FrondMonday instead.
I voted for Pontius Pilate! #PalmSunday
Adult stores report an increase in lube sales on #PalmSunday.
Fleshlight protests #PalmSunday, say they’re better than the palm. Jesus says, “I invited the Fleshlight: I have a hole in my hand!”
You’re not a pro on #PalmSunday until you get someone else to use their palm.
“She lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.” – Ez 23:20 #PalmSunday
Dancing was fun, but my sciatica is really fucking pissed at me. LOL I don’t think it liked my Michael Jackson impersonation.

Only in Alabama can it snow for 36 hours without any accumulation.
Any time I hear a Mormon mention #Prop8, I just think they mean they proposed to eight 13yo girls.
Where’s the lube? #ThoughtsInBed
I think I can, I think I can, fuck… I can’t. #ThoughtsInBed
Where did she come from? #ThoughtsInBed
Where am I? Monkey beside me. I’m naked and covered in feathers. Whose bed is this? Oh, a bottle of Jack, that explains it. #ThoughtsInBed
Creationism is playing pretend for adults. #ItsNotComplicated
Don’t be one of those assholes who thinks everything’s funny until they make fun of your pet issue. #ItsNotComplicated
If the chittlin’ don’t be fittin’, then you must be aquittin’. #ItsNotComplicated
I don’t like butt sex, but I do like more tax revenue for my County’s marriage license department! #UnitedForMarriage
I’m totally “behind” #MarriageEquality
Just mowed my lawn in the snow. Yep, that’s how we do it in ‘Bama. #ClimateChangeIsReal

Christopher Hitchens is my co-pilot: because a corpse is better than an imaginary friend.

#SongsIWillAlwaysLove – Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell. I’m pretty sure it’s a song about my penis.
#SongsIWillAlwaysLove – “Let’s Hear It For The Boys” because girls have cooties.
#SongsIWillAlwaysLove – “Goonies”, because everyone needs a teenage anthem.
#SongsIWillAlwaysLove – “Axel F” because Eddie Murphy is a Crazy Frog!
#SongsIWillAlwaysLove – “Sixteen Candles” because they just don’t make good pedophile songs anymore.
#SongsIWillAlwaysLove – “In Your Room” by the Bangles, the video makes me JIMP every time.
I’m hotter than Ted Haggard in a day spa!
