Tweets of the Week Part 6

And the winners are ...

The Week 6 TotW crop is a slight improvement thanks for a little more time on my end to mine for those little golden nuggests of tweety goodness that are overlooked when I'm very busy. And the Oscars on Sunday night provided some good fodder - Pete Abraham of the Globe is especially funny - he's a must follow @PeteAbe, even for Yankee fans.

Somehow I can't bring myself to celebrate Presidents' Day, because I'm still pretty p.o.'d at Franklin Pierce.
@alyankovic - Wasn't he the doctor on M*A*S*H?

OK, where have I been? Melo to the Knicks-who cares? I don't. But I guess New Yorkers do right? Baseball won't be much fun for them. LOL @nsnsports.net - Gotta love Spring Training smack talk.

Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Usher paid huge sums to play for #Gaddafi family. That's enough reason to throw his dumb ass out of power. @jivanjames - The only person on Twitter consistently more funny than @PeteAbe is @jivanjames - His real name is John James and he works at the Free Press ... for now. (He'll get that joke.)

At home, drinking alone. Some say this is a sign of alcoholism. I say it's a sign of dedication. #halfbottleofvodkatogo @jivanjames - Everyone needs a hobby.

Just wrote a poem: "I would have to wash out my jockey/if the G-Men pick up Shockey/Toss Shockey the rocky/I hate hockey" @JeremyShockey @therealcarl2 - Brilliant!

Pilot just showed! Plane applauds. Unfortunately, the tags on his carry-on read "Holiday Inn Express." @richeisen - Sorely missed on SportsCenter.

Rose is dirty great ass player @ozzieguillen - Ozzie either likes Derrick Rose's game a lot or he thinks he's a hottie with a hygiene problem.

Charlie Sheen says he's "addicted to winning." Good thing- he's current frontrunner for biggest d in the land!!
@Michelle_ESPN - Charlie needs to learn to speak his mind.

The "Pajama Jeans" infomercial that plays during the 2am-3am hour is the saddest hour of the day.
@SarakKSilverman - Untrue - I can't wait until they make these for men.

We should all Twitter like Anne Hathaway speaks. So ... I'm off to bed now. Woooooooo! @PeteAbe - I think this is funny - Wooooooooo!

Phones should have an Oscars app that plays increasingly louder music when somebody you're talking to starts to babble @PeteAbe - My brain actually does this. Usually, it plays the theme from Magnum, P.I. This is fortunate because my head bobs even as I tune out.

I am live-tweeting the Oscars!!! This Sucks. Now I am done live-tweeting the Oscars. @therealcarl2 - I with ya Carl. People I've never heard of winning awards for movies I'll never see. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

(Weak) Tweets of the Week 5

Not sure if I need to follow funnier people or if my standards for a checkle are getting too high, but here's a very small batch of TotW.

I imagine whales feel like oversized bumpy pickles. #random
@Alphacat1 - This would be a great name for an indy-rock band.

I think they have the air conditioning on here at Collins Perley... Coldest hockey rink I've ever been in!
@WCAX_Seth - Go about 10 miles further north to Highgate and you will see just how wrong a person can be.

So..Watson wins on Jeopardy, huh? When that thing comes to life I, Robot style and sh*t gets sinister.... remember SVP tried to tell ya. @notthefakeSVP - Relax Scott, that's at least a couple years away.

Justin Beiber is so young he doesn't even sweat yet?!?! Now that's just not right.
@ESPN_Michelle - I think Ms. Beadle has a crush.

1 melatonin, normal... 2 melatonin = CRAY CRAY dreams of petting tiny albino baby turtles and talking to a tree stump. help. @katyperry - Yes. I follow Katy Perry - she has me living a teenage dream.

Trivia time!

I'm doing research on a list of the top UVM women's basketball players of all time and I came across a trio of questions that I think are pretty interesting.

These questions are all about UVM women's basketball program ...

1. Who has the best all-time free throw AND 3-point field goal percentage? (It's the same person)

2. Who holds the single-season record for most 3-pointers made in one season?

3. Who holds the single season record for most assists in a season.

(Hint all three players competed for the Cats in the last 20 seasons and one of them is a Vermonter.)

I'll post the answers at the end of my UVM women's Dream Dozen list on Examiner.com later tonight - Here's my top 10 list of the top UVM men's basketball players.
