Why Twitter?

Being a trendy guy I just had to taste th Twitter soup. After two months I am asking myself, "why?" When all is said and done, Twitter might be remembered as the pet rock of cyberspace. A trend as stupid and as short-lived as the Cabbage Patch Dolls.

For whatever reason I used Twitter to post my meal log. But at 140 characters I often abbreviated in a way that did not make sense. Chx thghs for chicken thighs. .5&.5 instead of Half-N-Half. Approx for approximately. Welcome back, Queen's English.

Friday August 14. I enjoyed cold, black coffee. Before leaving for work I ate 24 oz. (precooked weight) of frankfurters (Hebrew National if they want to give me a kickback.) I later cooked a meal loaf using 1+ lb of ground beef, salsa, bread crumbs and oatmeal. Not real low carb but probably not more than the carbs in two slices of bread. The meat was going to go bad so I had to eat it that night...I consumed about 36oz. arginie in a propietary mix upon returning home. As a nightcap I had a taste of gin, 5 eggs, and I estimate 4 oz of previously-cooked bacon.

Saturday August 15. I got called to work unexpectedly and my cubbard was bare. Ate .8 oz. Salami on the way to work and topped it off with approximately 4 oz. pecans and two Atkins bars. Despite the name, Atkins bars are not really all that low-carb and they can wreck a diet. But I was hungry and the cubbard was bare. I ate another 8 oz. salami around 9PM. Upon arriving home I consumed the same propietary arginine mix, about 36 grams of arginine. Later i ate approximately 8 oz. of precooked bacon.

Sunday August 16: Drank coffee with Half-N-Half then had 6 tablespoons of proprietary arginine mix (36 grams estimate.) Fianlly ate around 5:30 PM. Small salad and 1.35 lb. haddock lightly breaded in flower and fried in bacon grease. Nibbled on lightly breaded chicken fingers that I had cooked. Just took a taste of gin and I have a Cornish Hen in the oven (12:42 AM August 17.)

Ahh, the Queen's English.
