Last week, Jamie Sandford began the day with what I’ll call a “metatweet.” I responded. It took off. Here’s how our conversation evolved throughout the course of the day:
@jsandford: <something about coffee>
@davidbthomas: <something about Mondays>
@jsandford: <inspirational way-too-much vim and vigor tackling-the-week tweet>
@davidbthomas: <excessive use of motivational hashtags>
@jsandford: <ending of day tweet>
@davidbthomas: <expressing an interest in a particular foodstuff and/or alcoholic beverage>
@jsandford: <general agreement and/or countering with alternative item which is more complex or uses rarer ingredients>
@davidbthomas: <enthusiastic agreement, onomatopoeia representing consumption of said foodstuff>
@jsandford: <comment related to upcoming TV show, hashtagged>
@davidbthomas: <parenting anecdote>
@jsandford: <emphatic sport event comment!>
@davidbthomas: <support for the opposing team expressed as ridicule of your character>
@jsandford: <denigration of your team based on menial historical statistic relating to prior triumph in the series>
@davidbthomas: <rejection of the importance of your quoted statistic, followed by equally trivial statistic from earlier contest>
@jsandford: <commentary on the difficult nature of putting small descendants to bed and/or humorous pre-slumber saying>
