What the Tweet?

Guinness, Hot Dogs, and Mitt Romney the Mythological Beast

We respect and value the social media editors who share the links that make our job easier. But sometimes, we have no idea what they are talking about. So after a long day spent staring at Twitter, we're sharing our favorites.

The real question is whether or not you're flossing it.

Back in 2007, of course, Sorkin was attached to write a musical based on Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Now he's not, but knowing Sorkin, he'll probably come in to do a last-minute, uncredited polish. 
 

"Slurping the stout" was the hands-down the goofiest and most lyrical phrase to pop in our Twitter feed today. As for firing up the imagination...


...we enjoyed coming up with names for this hypothetical creature of campaign trail mythology. The Mittotaur is an obvious choice, but we also enjoyed the Massean Dragon, Romclops, and GROMIT, the automaton made out of bronze that only competes in caucus states.

Cheap shot from The Guardian. When Cameron takes Obama to a game in London, they'll eat eel pie. When they're in Dayton -- where good people live -- and watching March Madness they're going to have hot dogs. It's a fine ballpark treat. 
 

Better do what the tweet says. It knows we've all been fools.
