OK, which one of you is @BARTSIMSON_REAL?

I think it was just dudes from a somethingawful board propagating their humor on a new medium

yeah that's pretty accurate

also i'm glad this post got preserved for posterity
http://www.tehposts.com/fiction/open-palm-slam-a-vhs.html

yeah "Weird Twitter" is literally just an extension of FYAD except you can't beecock unfunny people's threads so accounts like JonnySun get popular

@WhiteFeminist reminds me quite a lot of https://twitter.com/Chino_Wanker

do cool dudes not like chinos any more

tbf that account peaked in 2012 so maybe the pendulum has swung back

Occasionally you run into something that looks like Weird Twitter but really isn't. A selection of Twitter user https://twitter.com/rob_slash05 reveals a deeply malevolent intelligence wreaking havoc on Toronto, and one with no apparent understanding of the distinction between Twitter, email, and postal mail.

i think that counts as weird twitter

semi-weird:

https://twitter.com/wizardishungry/status/382517771315445760

lol http://github.com/WIZARDISHUNGRY/magical-effect-tweeter

this is the most unsurprising surprise

in honor of horse_ebooks's passing, here is the original tweet that got SA/weirdtwitter people following it via @fart:

https://twitter.com/Horse_ebooks/status/44114266613231616

see, tbf, the buzzfeed guy didn't take it over until september

real horse_ebooks died a long time ago, friends

september of 2011, that is

tbf the buzzfeed guy is the tweeter formerly known as @agentlebrees

legendary tweeter I should say

lol at all this twitter conspiracy shit people are throwing out there now http://www.buzzfeed.com/jwherrman/horse-ebooks-the-dril-question

Ah yes, good old Agent LeBrees.

We've had a little bit of chatter about this on the Pronunciation Thread, maybe enough for a dedicated thread? Or maybe not, it'll be old news pretty soon.

reported by susan orlean lol http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/09/horse-ebooks-and-pronunciation-book-revealed.html

Susan Orlean is also performing at the installation today, reportedly.

wait until they reveal that Susan Orlean was horse_ebooks before September 2011

this account is promising
https://twitter.com/UpWorthIt

The shocking part isn't her lack of legs, it's what she chose to do without them.

I'm not an orphan. But I think we should listen to this one.

I can't believe AGB works at fucking BuzzFeed of all places, that's the saddest thing in the world

everyone needs jobs

unless you can get paid for weird tweets i guess

lol buzzfeed is a p cool place to work

what's his buzzfeed twitter handle? is he verified ✔ now at least?

they said he works in the ad department he doesnt do #content

buzzfeed for sure a cool place to work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5OfTPGnzqQ

that must be him in standing up

haha nicely done

Ah yes, good old Agent LeBrees.

did everyone miss this post, it's a+

Tom Gara ‏@tomgara 2m
I just called the horse ebooks phone number. They answered and said "getting the attention of top marketers", then hung up.

everyone needs jobs

otm

can I just say UpWorthIt is great

I never thought a pizza party could end centuries of ethnic cleansing. Then I saw this.

on BuzzFeed.com you can literally go to an article about drone strikes or a 10y.o. who murdered his father in cold blood and vote them "LOL" and "WIN" and then include a gif of you smiling with Respond With A GIF, Sponsored By Starbucks Frappuccino

everyone who works there should be killed share this if you agree most are too afraid

like obviously I'm speaking from 22y.o. youthful naivete privilege here but there are genuinely a billion other websites to work for that aren't as awful. it's not like capitalism, where it's inescapable and you're forced to work within the system or perish (although within the year it probably will be lol). I'll drop the subject tho

aren't they all the same awful, though? or travel in the same circles of awful?

forget it guys its websites

cant believe a popular tweeter has a well-paying job at buzzfeed its the most depressing thing in the WOOOORLD

*cries for the tweeters*

wont someone think of the tweets

everyone who works there should be killed share this if you agree most are too afraid
