BU TweetCreep: February 27th-March 4th

By | Mar 4th, 2011

This TweetCreep week started with the Oscars, which brought out the best in blatantly trying to make a trending topic seem relevant to their department tweets from some of our favorite #BU tweeps. But most importantly, we got crucial input regarding the Charlie Sheen situation from none other than @BUDiningService. Yes, this week’s TweetCreep is certainly #winning. And away we go.

The Oscar Mayer Award Goes To…

We had a great Oscar acceptance speech written but spilled chili on it and don't remember what we wrote Uggghh!!

Uggghh! I HATE it when that happens. Wait, when does that happen? Ever?

Chef cooking dinner @ the Oscars just called us, said James Franco was seen double dipping salsa at Colin Firth's table, fisticuffs ensued!

You’d have to be as high as James Franco at the Oscars (or any time, really) to visualize this tweet. Double TweetCreep points for using the term “fisticuffs” in a tweet, @BUDiningService. You’re as classy as you are weird (like high James Franco in an Oscar tuxedo).

You all know if James Franco did #buFYSOP he'd be in Elders. #oscars

Truth: James Franco’s grandma is both badass and awesome. I’d spend a week before classes start hanging out with her and call it FYSOP.

So Kirk Douglas as a speaker for #buFYSOP's Elders issue area next year? #oscars

If @BUCSC wants an adorably ancient old man that you can barely comprehend what he’s saying (but who cares, he’s so cute/creepy!) to speak at FYSOP, then Kirk Douglas is your go-to guy.

Hey, I’ll take it. At least it’s not another reference to Jersey Shore‘s Ronnie being the new fry cook, right?

Our apologies go to Gender Focus, for giving Elders the #buFYSOP monopoly on James Franco. We'd love to see him do the GF Call in drag.

They’re really not letting one moment of the #Oscars go unreferenced to a @BUCSC program, huh? Let’s see if @BUDiningService can top this…

Game OVER.

The Sun Will Come Out, Tomorrow

Rain getting you down #BU? Don't worry tmrw should be clear and sunny!

Yes, don’t worry #BU students, tomorrow you can admire the beautiful sunny weather from inside the Mugar Library as you miserably study for midterms.

You Can Walk the Walk, but Can’t Tweet the Tweet

How many of you are walking to class right now? Count the people that cross the street without waiting for the crossing signal and tweet us!
@WaitForItBU

Um, so according BU’s “Safe Crossing Campaign,” we’re supposed to count people crossing the street, tweet about it, and walk to class without getting hit by a car? I can only tweet and walk to class while dodging traffic – don’t make me risk my life by counting people too, @WaitForItBU! Also, your Twitter handle sounds more like a celibacy group, not a new initiative to get #BU to wait at crosswalks. Are you saving lives or V-cards??

All you macho men out there: more than two-thirds of pedestrian-related traffic fatalities involve men. Pay attention, boys! #WaitForItBU

But what’s the statistic on non-macho men like?

Not so hot boys when your brains are on the ground!
@BuWalkingProbs
Bu Walking Problems

Not sure what’s more grotesque: this image/insult or the fact that some new #BU department is trying to capitalize on the popularity of @BUgirlproblems and @BUgayproblems for their #WaitForIt campaign by trying to make @BUWalkingprobs happen.

We the Tweeple…

Come to CAS 116 at 6:15 Tomorrow to Help Us Polish Up Our Club Constitution!
@DemMattersofBU
BU-Democracy Matters

The fact that they’re inviting anyone to come join them in writing their constitution pretty much makes them more democratic than our own country’s “democracy.” It also makes for a pretty boring-sounding club event.

Get Your Broom On

NEW BROOMS FOR #BUQ. #BU is looking to dominate this spring season.

You can’t help but appreciate the extremely nerdy enthusiasm of this tweet. Kudos to @BUQuidditch, and may your brooms serve you well, young muggles.

BU Loves TITS

It's hilarious how quickly T.I.T.S. has been accepting as part of the #BU vernacular. #branding

God I hope he’s talking about Tavern in the Square.

I’ve Got a Scarlet Fever, and the Only Prescription is Spring Break

Come pick up your Funderdome, Vagina Monologues, Last Five Years, Scarlet Fever and Regal movie tickets to kick off Spring Break early!

Is it terrible of me to think that all of those phrases sound like STDs one might bring back with them from spring break? They’re either awesome events or terrible rashes. #sorryimnotsorry

And you knew it was coming…one last bonus tweet from @BUDiningService before you start your #winning weekend:

We just created a new salad "The Charlie Sheen"- lettuce, onions, tomatoes, carrots, cucs and feta cheese, then place bowl on head, enjoy.
