Tweets of the Week

If you haven't used Twitter, or perhaps you dismissed it as a trifle, perhaps you ought to reconsider. Thanks to url shortening, Twitter allows you to refer your audience (friends, family or anyone with a Twitter account) to articles that interest you, whether they be business-related, political or just for entertainment purposes. And though getting a point across in 140 characters or less might seem like a challenge, plenty of people have found a way to do so and do so with humor.

So, without further adieu here are some of the funniest Tweets from the 310 Twitter users that Lorton Patch follows. The Redskins, as always, were a popular topic this week.

• From Monday:

            @skunkhair

             --Wow. Nice of the Eagles to consider that I'm uber tired to end the game early for me so i can go to bed.

             --Gave up on the Skin "game". Bet the Eagles fans won't rub it in either.

            @househitz

            --I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

• From Tuesday

            @househitz

           --Wheel of Fortune has been rerunning the same 12 episodes since 1998.

           @skunkhair

           --Power went out. My first reaction: "quick, someone check the Internet." 2nd reaction: "internet's down. Okay, stay calm. Check the baby."

• From Thursday

        @bumonkee

         --This Beatles band must have been very busy to release all these new albums at the same time.
