BU TweetCreep: April 24th-29th

By | Apr 29th, 2011

#RoyalWedding bells are ringing for this week’s #TweetCreep! We’ve got Kate Middleton’s and the Queen’s favorite fast food, your new not favorite wedding venue (hint: it doesn’t rhyme with BU Peach Makeover), and @DeanElmore in a tux at the @FitRec pool. And if you haven’t figured out by now, this week is chock-full of @BUDiningService royal gems, as he’s tweeting from across the pond. What, they can’t just invite anyone to these things — #TweetCreep V.I.P. only. Let’s see who else could have made the list… (Note to readers: this week’s edition is more fun if read aloud in a heavily exaggerated British accent, preferably while wearing a ridiculous hat. Cheerio!)

 

Passover the Bread, Please

Happy Easter, happy Sunday, happy April 24th, happy whatever you want it to be...it's a FASTASTIC Day in Boston!!!
@JohnBattaglino

Is this a jab at those who were observing Passover? I don’t think they’d describe not being able to eat all the good things in life (as we Catholics stuff our faces with Cadbury eggs and carbs) as “FASTASTIC.”

 

Blockbuster for Books

Attn:Graduating seniors. Did you know you still can take out books at BU Libraries as an alum? http://bit.ly/hZama0 #mugservices
@MugarLib
Mugar Library

No, but then again, I didn’t even know current #BU students took out books from @MugarLib…aside from the 1 or 2 we took out freshmen year just to have non-Internet sources for a WR100 paper.

 

Pin the Tooth Decay on the Donkey

Just one of many party games you’d get to engage in when you’re in @BUDental school! Heard another is a drinking game where they watch Cops and take a drink for every visible missing tooth from an arrested hillbilly.

 

McRoyalty with a Side of Fries

Say hello to McWeddings as a people raised their milkshakes to the bride and groom in Hong Kong! http://nyti.ms/fJaLS9

I’m going to take the wild guess that this option never came across Prince William’s and Kate’s minds. Though I wouldn’t be completely against having Mayor McCheese officiate my wedding. Grimace could be in charge of entertainment, but there’s no way I’d allow the creepy Ronald McDonald or that sneaky bastard Hamburglar to attend.

 

The Royal Dining

WE GOT THE CALL!We leave tomorrow for England! Apparently Kate wants to do the Rhett's Challenge the night before the wedding. #crazyroyals

BU Dining Services

Yes, when @BUDiningService isn’t busy being nominated for Oscars or consulting with the Pope, they’re assisting the Royal Family with all of their hunger needs in preparation for the #RoyalWedding.

Arrived in England 2 work the kitchen for royal wedding. Queen is miffed, forgot her Panda Express order, looks like Tower of London for us!

I’ve heard the Queen is a royal pain in the arse if she doesn’t get her Panda Bowl when she orders someone to order it for her.

Day 2, London 4 Royal Wedding. Kate loved The West Burger we brought over. But Harry won't shut up..we get it, ur 3rd in line for the throne
@BUDiningService
BU Dining Services

What? You can’t visualize these situations happening? Well then clearly you don’t know the Royal Family as well as @BUDiningService.

1am here in London, Kate just finished Rhett's Challenge in almost record time, if not for the Queen's elbow to the gut at the halfway mark!
@BUDiningService
BU Dining Services

That Queen is a sneaky one…almost as sneaky as the Hamburglar.

@ airport in London, Kate asked us to leave..who knew Rhett dressed as the fife player from revolutionary war doesn't work as a centerpiece?
@BUDiningService
BU Dining Services

It’s decided — @BUDiningService is totally planning my McWedding.

 

Classier than Jack Donaghy

Strange @ sighting of the day: just saw @ in his tux by the pool!
@FitRec
BU FitRec Center

If this was tweeted 4 hours later, I’d imagine @DeanElmore saying “It’s after 6. What am I, a farmer?!”

 

#WeirdWaysToPromoteYourEvent

What rhymes with BU Peach Makeover and is happening this saturday? The BU Beach Takeover! http://on.fb.me/ezAi9I
@buunion
BU Student Union

Aw man, I really wanted to give makeovers to peaches.

Do you like your ear drums? Then don't come to the BU beach takeover featuring 11 DJs this saturday! http://on.fb.me/ezAi9I
@buunion
BU Student Union

This is going to really turn away a lot of self eardrum-obsessed  students from attending. But if people can withstand the high-pitched biddie squeals up and down Comm. Ave and inside GSU, I think they can handle this.

 

Longest-Running College Drunk Snack

This is either a Sunset wrap party for the @BayState10 cast & crew or a slightly more realistic approach to college life (replacing murder with margaritas).

Is it horrible that when I first read this, I thought there were talking about the afternoon shift at a strip joint? #BadaBing #ItsOkayBecauseImFromNJ

 

Real Slick, Aunt Mildred

Softball is ON tonight...looks like most of the nasty weather should pass us by but bring your slicker just in case! @

Did someone’s Great-Aunt Mildred tweet this because college students don’t call raincoats “slickers.” I don’t even think Dick Tracy would have called it that.

Dear Prince Williams

Wan't to be a princess? Come to our Spring Show!! We'll treat you like royalty. http://tinyurl.com/3ngzder

Dear Abbeys

This is actually pretty valid since a @DearAbbeys audience (much like any other #BU scenario) is mostly made up of (swooning) females.

 

Pretty Pretty Princess #FTW!!

all this real news is a real buzzkill on envisioning OUR future pretty pretty princess royal wedding. Good one, #tornado.

If not just for reminding us of #realworldproblems (what a Debbie Downer), this is #TweetCreep-worthy for the throwback mention of 1 of the most pointlessly entertaining games of our childhood. I will take the fake plastic crown and the blue “jewels” over a shot at British Royalty, any day (much to my own mother’s dismay).

 

I Like Turtles

THERE IS A TWO-HEADED PSYCHIC TURTLE NAMED MAGDALENA. Erica Stapleton has more if that's somehow not enough awesome: http://bit.ly/mlkzMs

Awesome? Yes. #RoyalWedding-related? Well, who do you think predicted who Prince William would marry?? #TeenageMutantPsychicTurtle

MAGDALENAAA, NOOOO!!!!! Actually, pollution is probably how she became a psychic two-headed turtle.

 

…and it’s not Jersey Shore, but it’s a hell of a lot better than Mob Wives:

We did a show like #theVoice called it #theSmell judged chefs based on the smell of their cooking. Our mistake to film during allergy season
