BU TweetCreep: October 23rd – October 28th
By Liz Breen | Oct 28th, 2011
If I knew more about computers/wasn’t so damn lethargic from this rain, I would make the little TweetCreep symbol Halloween-themed for y’alls. But I can’t/won’t. So I will talk about Halloween in this intro to make up for it. Because, let’s be honest, Halloween is the only thing getting you through this week, amIright?
Now, I’m sure I’ll see you at some point this weekend – dressed as a sexy black cat, the green man, Mario and Luigi, Waldo (who continues to think this is a creative costume?). Then again, maybe I won’t. Because BUPD has turned parties in Allston into a giant game of Frogger. Yes, I am referring to this article on BU Today that gives the statistics of alcohol-related offenses for any given weekend. Parents seem to be thrilled about the BUPD’s newfound fervor in keeping drunkards off the streets, and students seem to be upset. Me personally? I don’t feel strongly one way or the other. BUT I am excited (probably overly so) to see the stats for this weekend, which is sure to be one for the record books. (Not on my end because I am working both Friday AND Saturday evenings WOMP WOMP.)
Anywho, enough of my public self-pity! HERE IS THIS WEEK’S TWEETCREEP! Proof that people do get wackier around All Hallows’ Eve! Be safe this weekend, everyone!
RHETT = VANNA WHITE
Why would you want a car when you could have… A BU SWEATSHIRT?!
THREE WORDS: JON. HAMM. SHIRTLESS.
Because Megavideo’s 72-minute limit is just unconstitutional.
FRENCH SEX
At least they’re honest about it…
ARTSY KIDS SAY THE DARNEDEST THINGS!
@CFAtweets cares about sports? Is this some sort of Twilight Zone joke for Halloween?
LIKE A MCRIB… BUT FOR BREAKFAST!
Talk about knowing your audience! @BUPRSSA, take note!
GOING COMMANDO
With those little nurse/cop costumes, you might not even need to do that to see a bare bum.
PRACTICING THEIR STANDUP
Nothing makes a joke funnier than explaining why it is funny. Nothing. #sarcasm
MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE
I’M TRAPPED IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION!
Little known fact, Whitey was caught in a bookstore while trying to buy his own book. #narcissist
#COLLEGIATEINTERESTS
You think you know me so well, eh? Well I see neither mac ‘n’ cheese NOR horoscopes on that list!
YOU WON’T LIKE ME WHEN I’M ANGRY
BU HIPSTERS, ATTACK!
BECAUSE I HONESTLY READ THIS WRONG THE FIRST TIME… OOPS.
That says SMASH not SMUSH! Jersey Shore season finale was last week. Get with the program. (WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!)
You can’t see me but I’m making a thumbs down gesture.
The purpose of this article was supposed to be BU departments/Staff, and not friends. You’re being lazy again and not doing any research. I’m done
Michael, I am again confused for several reasons. Firstly, because I have reached out to you every comment you have left both publicly on this page and privately in an email, none of which have garnered any replies. I am also confused as to what you mean by using my friends instead of BU departments. If you will notice, none of these Twitter accounts are personal accounts. In fact, I am not allowed to choose the accounts that I feature in this article. My editors at the Quad have made me a list from which I can choose the tweets, but the editors themselves add the accounts. I can guarantee there is no favoritism. In fact, I do not know the people behind 90% of these accounts.
As for you being “done,” I feel that this is the only solution. Why continue to read an article that you do not enjoy when I have given you several opportunities to talk over email or in person about what specifically you would like changed. Currently, you seem to just not like my style of writing, as your attacks against this article (going back to the favoritism), are simply unfounded. And while this saddens me, I am not going anywhere and have the blessing of the staff to continue being the Tweetcreep writer. So if you are not going to take my now fourth invitation to talk more constructively, I think you stopping reading the article would make both you and I feel more at rest about this issue.
