samjshah FAVOURITE TWEETS #8 this shorter favorite tweets is dedicated to @dcox21 who composed 29 of these tweets http://bit.ly/9NjXpW
dcox21 @samjshah I'd like to dedicate my performance to my children. Without them, I'm not nearly as funny.
dcox21 @samjshah Also @paquette6 for without her, my children wouldn't be possible. And a special shoutout to #5: Daddy's gonna keep you, baby.
jybuell @dcox21 @samjshah Yo David, I'm happy for u and I'm a let u finish, but @k8nowak had one of the best tweets of all time!
dcox21 @jybuell @samjshah @mctownsley @thinkthankthunk Yeah, what a diva. #jilted
...
samjshah okay anyone out there want to take over the favorite tweets list when i'm away and not regularly on twitter (until july 23rd)? or a few ppl?
ThinkThankThunk @samjshah I don't have enough followers, make @k8nowak do it
jreulbach @samjshah I tried t make a fav tweets post. #fail. It looked terrible. Check my blig to see it. noob needs a tutorial.
jybuell @samjshah @mctownsley @thinkthankthunk Shawn only follows like 3 people so his fav tweets are prolly brief
misscalcul8 @samjshah @jybuell @jreulbach @dcox21 @ThinkThankThunk @CmonMattTHINK @k8nowak I'll do it
k8nowak @misscalcul8 Thank you for jumping on that grenade for us.
samjshah @misscalcul8 oooh good. i was just about to write a blog post seeing if anyone wanted to *jump on that grenade* (@k8nowak, you curmudgeon)
k8nowak @misscalcul8 I just noticed that you can go to someone's profile and look at the tweets they favorited. I can help that way if you like.
misscalcul8 @k8nowak Good thinking. Any tips you want to offer @samjshah ? How often, how many, level of funny, etc?
CardsChic @misscalcul8 @k8nowak @samjshah You mean there are RULES for this thing? Dang complicated...
samjshah @misscalcul8 i have no guidelines. whatever strikes you as interesting/funny/cute/snarky - whatever. your favorites! my only advice is...
samjshah @misscalcul8 just post whatever you want! don't feel like you have to get everything, or worried about missing anything.
samjshah @misscalcul8 would you mind me copying your favorite tweet's blog posts from your site to mine so i have a complete set? i'd def link/credit
misscalcul8 @samjshah Well of course you can...this is your brainchild, I'm just baby-sitting
jybuell @misscalcul8 @samjshah @jreulbach @dcox21 @ThinkThankThunk @CmonMattTHINK @k8nowak hooray! I'm playing my vuvuzela right now in celebration

…
misscalcul8 For some reason my Google Analytics is showing only 1 visit in the past month and 0 in the month before. Not showing any statistics. Help?
jybuell @misscalcul8 Did you change your theme? You probably need to re-add the script.
misscalcul8 @jybuell So there's no data after Oct 9th of last year. Is all of that data lost now or will it catch up? Am I basically starting over?
jybuell @misscalcul8 lost.
misscalcul8 @jybuell Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh. Why didn't I know this before?
jybuell @misscalcul8 because you're a teacher and not a professional blogger?
misscalcul8 @jybuell Ugh.
jybuell @misscalcul8 we can just take a poll. I read it. There's one. Who else?
k8nowak @misscalcul8 @jybuell This is why change is bad. Fear change. (I probably have the same problem - first theme change in ever.)
misscalcul8 @k8nowak But the blog gods have allowed you to learn from my mistake so you can fix yours. You blog god hog
…
jybuell @k8nowak ok. So one of those books. Like if we all had unicorns tutoring our kids this would work.
park_star @k8nowak @jybuell you mean Pearson doesn't supply unicorn tutors in the US? That really explains a lot.
samjshah @k8nowak i think what @park_star meant to say was: "i'll make fun of [all those myriad people] who say otherwise on twitter." right? RIGHT?
park_star @jybuell @k8nowak for right now they are playing nice, but I'm pretty sure they're going to take over the world
samjshah @park_star http://brizzly.com/pic/2UPE this is how i divide up the body. different cuts go for different prices.
k8nowak @samjshah @park_star Seriously - basic unicorn skills. She got an F in jumping over rainbows and a D in sparkling.
samjshah @Fouss unicorns actually don't die when you cut them up. they might hurt a lot, but they don't die, until the horn detaches from the head.
park_star @k8nowak have you checked that's she's for real? sounds like somebody's horse taped a cone to their head...
samjshah @Fouss so it fits in with my morality. it's okay if it hurts like hell, as long as it doesn't die.
samjshah @k8nowak she could still be developing. did she at least get a passing grade (C or higher, say) in shimmering-at-a-distance?
jybuell @samjshah how in the world did you have a unicorn parts pic handy? U continue to confuse and astound me.
Fouss @jybuell But if you would've asked me who would have (or could find) a unicorn parts picture, @samjshah would be the first to come to mind.
jybuell @Fouss no doubt. Now I know I can use Sam for 1. fav tweet 2. shared blog posts 3. image search
samjshah @jybuell do you want me to spoil the magic of my internet saavy? naaay. (unless you really do, in which case i can...)
Fouss @jybuell And he's really good at finding videos on Youtube that perfectly describe a situation, too.
samjshah @Fouss what's becoming clearer and clearer to me now is that i need to spend less time on the internet and more doing 3D world things.
jybuell @samjshah I prefer to keep my sense of wonder and amazement. It definitely involves oompa loompas though.

jybuell @thenerdyteacher congrats. You're the first person to ever put ISTE and fashion in the same tweet.
thenerdyteacher Exactly how many Cardigans are too many for ISTE? #ISTEFashion
tgwynn @thenerdyteacher If your Mister Rogers, you will need two for each day. One to wear in, and one to change into while you sing #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher Will 5 brunch ascots be enough? #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher What color bow tie do you were with sheepskin chaps? #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher How man zippers are acceptable on a leather jacket at the convention center? #ISTEFashion
amandacdykes @thenerdyteacher depends on whether the jacket is black or red #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher What color shoes go with a paisley cummerbund? #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher How many sequins are allowed on a pair of gloves before they become distracting to a presenter? #ISTEFashion #HandTalker
thenerdyteacher Where can one where a unitard at #ISTE? Not for me, it's for a friend. *cough cough @kylepace cough cough* #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher Is face painting in the season? #ISTEFashion Thinking I might get that blue bear on my cheek.
thenerdyteacher Sweet, just remembered where I stored my collection of mesh crop tops! Look out Denver! #ISTEFashion
McTeach Um, better bring my sunglasses! RT @thenerdyteacher: Sweet, just remembered where I stored my collection of mesh crop tops! #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher Need some bleach later to make my jeans awesome for #ISTE Heck Ya! #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher Anybody have a Hypercolor shirt I could borrow for the weekend? #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher Mental Note: Need to dig out my Zebra print turtleneck for Denver. #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher @amandacdykes - What feather boas are you bringing to Denver? It would be awkward if we wore the same ones. #ISTEFashion
thenerdyteacher @tgwynn - That's what I figured. I was thinking a need drinking attire as well. Suggestion? #ISTEFashion Parachute pants perhaps?
tgwynn @thenerdyteacher Those will look best when we bust out the Ninja Rap over a pint. @amandacdykes will lead. #ISTEFashion
tgwynn I better go throw my Keds in the washer so they are neon white for ISTE. #ISTEfashion
thenerdyteacher So I decided to go with only 3 pairs of leg warmers. #ISTEFashion
weemooseus @thenerdyteacher I think everyone following the #ISTEFashion should get a vuvuzela to announce your arrival.

dcox21 @misscalcul8 That's it. You're grounded.
misscalcul8 @schwa044 age aint nothin but a number
misscalcul8 @dcox21 I'm gonna need an advance on that allowance. Baby #5 said I could have his.
dcox21 @misscalcul8 He gets paid in Cheerios. Is that gonna work for you?
misscalcul8 @dcox21 Well baby #5 IS pretty special. Bet I can sell them on ebay. The cheerios, not #5.
pvnotp @misscalcul8 I know a guy that beat a speeding ticket by using trigonometry to show that radar guns are inaccurate from the cops position.
pvnotp @misscalcul8 And they say math isn't useful in real life!

sarcasymptote @schwa044 ugh. i know. ive started and restarted mine 17 times already. or maybe its hard because my soft skill is being a jackass.
dcox21 @sarcasymptote @schwa044 You took my soft skill?!

restonkid @hemantmehta as many math departments will stop teaching factoring as English departments will stop teaching close reading.
hemantmehta @restonkid HEY! Factoring is totally useful. It separates adults who can't do it from adults i want to breed with :)

JamiDanielle @dcox21 Can you believe I actually survived two sons without that infamous accident occurring
jybuell @JamiDanielle David would answer you right now but clearly he needs to change his clothes.
dcox21 @JamiDanielle I've got 5 boys. I'm like @shareski but with pee.

jybuell One of the models for turnaround listed is the "school closure model" Yeah. That's one way to turn a school around.
ThinkThankThunk @jybuell Where's the give-the-kids-the-keys-and-some handguns model?
ThinkThankThunk or burn it to the ground and go LOST model
ThinkThankThunk @jybuell or oh-I-see-what-we're-trying-to-do-now-model-it-will-just-work-now model
ThinkThankThunk or we-weren't-trying-before-we-will-now model

jybuell Has Twitter taken off my status update chains yet?
jybuell Hit the twitter update status limit yesterday. Blocked for about 12 hours. Worse thing ever.
jybuell Worse than Twitter being down. I could see everything but not interact. I was like Patrick Swayze in Ghost.
thenerdyteacher @jybuell - Ha! Great comparison. That is too funny.
jybuell @thenerdyteacher Next time you can be my Whoopi Goldberg. I'll email you everything I want to tweet.

mdsteele47 I'd like to formally deny the rumors that I'll be making a guest appearance on @GLEETV season 2, just to set the record straight.

mctownsley @dcox21 no. my personal philosophy is that FA can't be done w/o a change in grading philosophy. what do you think?
dcox21 @mctownsley I think they're like chocolate and peanut butter: fine by themselves but when put together...party in your mouth.

k8nowak I am beyond dead weight on my Nerd Trivia team. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
ThinkThankThunk @k8nowak There are Nerd Trivia teams? Can I join? I know A LOT about star wars
k8nowak @ThinkThankThunk How soon can you get to Brooklyn?
k8nowak @ThinkThankThunk @dcox21 my only contribution: the princess who learned about Turing machines on the way to meet the coyote king.
jybuell @k8nowak @thinkthankthunk @dcox21 I am incredibly jealous right now. U need to tweet all the questions
jybuell @k8nowak @thinkthankthunk @dcox21 @schwa044 it's agreed then. Nerd Twitter trivia and Kate is nerd Trebek. I am nerd Sean Connery.
ThinkThankThunk @jybuell @k8nowak @dcox21 @schwa044 I'm in.
jybuell @ThinkThankThunk @k8nowak @dcox21 @schwa044 u can be nerd Burt Reynolds
sarcasymptote @k8nowak where did this take place? it seems a bit more prestigious than trivia at the hipster bowling alley.
k8nowak @sarcasymptote the Royal Oak? We won. I got 3 pairs of socks, a box of nerds, and a slice of peach pie. Dinner AND socks.
sarcasymptote @k8nowak congrats! i didnt know they did trivia there. my only experiences there are awkward dance parties where everyone looks fifteen.
schwa044 @sarcasymptote are there other kinds of dance parties?
schwa044 @sarcasymptote are there other kinds of dance parties?
k8nowak @jybuell @thinkthankthunk @dcox21 @schwa044 you are all on my nerd trivia dream team.
JamiDanielle @jybuell I'll take the penis mightier than the sword for $200.@dcox21 @k8nowak @thinkthankthunk @schwa44
jybuell @JamiDanielle suck it trebek!
park_star @jybuell @k8nowak @thinkthankthunk @dcox21 @schwa044 I'm way terrible at nerd trivia, but am an excellent cheerleader
jybuell @park_star I don't think you're supposed to be cheerleading or riding rollercoasters. Something like that.
jybuell @park_star my wife indoor rock climbed til about 6 months. There's a special full body harness
park_star @jybuell ok so your wife is a little nuts ;) but I'm obv in the clear for cheering on star wars trivia.
dcox21 @JamiDanielle @jybuell @k8nowak @thinkthankthunk @schwa44 Was that supposed to be "pen is?"

sarcasymptote on my way to work, saw cops picking up a dead body in the park. on my way home, streets closed bc of bomb scare at the library. go brooklyn!

toojiggy I wonder if we dumped a bunch of Sham Wow's in the Gulf would it be enuf to soak up the oil spill? Too soon, huh? My bad.

jybuell @samjshah You should get a referral fee from twitter with all the new folks you've been signing up.
samjshah @jybuell yes, you should suggest that to the twitter overlords.
...
dcox21 @samjshah why don't you stay a while? We're gonna need a calc teacher soon.
jybuell @samjshah agree w David. How about Bay Area? Meyer, Greene, Sue, Avery. We lack quantity but make up for it w quality
dcox21 @jybuell @samjshah Nah, I was thinking central valley. We've got... well @k8nowak used to live here.
dcox21 @jybuell @samjshah Sister in law lives in SF. Don't think I could afford to live up there. May have to sell a few of the boys.
jybuell @dcox21 @samjshah besides, Dan is like one more viral vid away from getting to start his own school.
schwa044 @dcox21 @jybuell @samjshah I wanna come! I wanna come! Alright let's be real I really just want a job.

samjshah @jybuell @dcox i wake up to all your tweets from last night! too funny! and @dcox21, some of your boys are sellable? they sound EXPENDABLE.
dcox21 @samjshah @jybuell Choices. Bay Area or children? Not so hard after you pay $20 for parking a couple of times.

jybuell re: teacher run school. We're starting one this yr in my district. Interesting, but I would prefer to work w good admin
dcox21 @jybuell Thats gonna be Lord of the Flies
jybuell @dcox21 Exactly. They're already setting up separate camps and raiding parties.
jybuell @dcox21 as much as I like myself, it would be awful being in a school with all Ts like me.
jybuell @dcox21 Bunch of alpha control freaks who know their own way is best
schwa044 @jybuell @dcox21 When will they have time for all that admin stuff.
jybuell @schwa044 Actual quote "Since we pick all the Ts, we won't be dealing w discpline that much" Right..That's how that works.
schwa044 @jybuell well yea kids will magically be awesome.
jybuell @schwa044 they didn't cover that in your ed program? That's how it always works.
schwa044 @jybuell amazing!
...
schwa044 think i finished my conference piece nervous it sounds "knowitall"y
sarcasymptote @schwa044 its a curse you have to live with, if you really do know it all.
schwa044 @sarcasymptote dude and if you do know it all who really cares what anyone else thinks?
sarcasymptote @schwa044 how did you get that so quickly? none of my coworkers have picked up on that yet. especially not admin. geesh.

jybuell Creating a department logo for intranet page. With Powerpoint. Using a screenshot. Somewhere in CA, @ddmeyer just cried out in pain.
dcox21 @jybuell @ddmeyer Be sure to use Comic Sans.
ddmeyer @dcox21 @jybuell Make it stop.
dcox21 @ddmeyer @jybuell Trying to find a way to make all my tweets directed at you show up in comic sans. No luck.
ddmeyer @dcox21 Turns out there is a God. And He loves me.
jybuell @ddmeyer @dcox21 changing to a flashing animated gif. With sound.
schwa044 @ddmeyer @dcox21 @jybuell How comic sans feels about you...http://bit.ly/bhwug6
sarcasymptote @jybuell @ddmeyer @dcox21 the sound has to be a midi file though
dcox21 @sarcasymptote @jybuell @ddmeyer And text. Use lots of text. People like to read their flashing gif's with sounds.
dcox21 @ddmeyer I think the first translation on the Vulgate into English used comic sans. #godlovescomicsans
Yay! Thanks for helping me catch up some from the honeymoon.
