    Ravelry insanity of the day: someone claiming that reviewing a yarn as “splitty” is libel.

    @BendalongMorgan No, no, not worth it. And the comment wasn’t public anyway. 🙂


    Funniest misspelling of the day: “a smorkesboard of options”. HA!


    @virtualwolf Somehow that actually looks more Swedish than the real version. 😀


    Mystery! @timparsons met a wan who knows me at Mobile Monday. I wonder who it was? @VenessaHunt? @Opheli8?


    @VenessaHunt @timparsons @Opheli8 That was my first guess, but no, not @ozgamer! Definitely a woman.


    @VenessaHunt @timparsons Hmm, don’t know @bantermm!


    @VenessaHunt I did think to ask @timparsons those questions, silly! He had no clue. Hence my public plea. (You were my first guess, FWIW!)


    @VenessaHunt @timparsons Exactly!!


    @drkknits I reckon you’d be one of those ones filmed kicking parcels and chucking them over fences. Also, brown = not your colour.

    Anybody at 99 York? @smark31 @Yarna_


    Quick beer with the knitters. Thanks to @smark31 for letting me vent! (@ 99 On York) http://t.co/da8yhqze8N


    Dubious Achievement unlocked. http://t.co/YmlzF85zTQ


    @drkknits I did. In fact, I said to the barkeep: “I could MURDER a Fat Yak.” He looked at me as if to say, “You sad, weird woman.”

    RT @scottfarkas: This is Genius! Beautiful parody of Microsoft and Nokia: http://t.co/1vjukybPbE


    @randomknits Gorgeous!


    RT @kapravel: probably the saddest graph ever shown in a CS conference. #Linux #tshirtsize http://t.co/RWBnTSJ2ip


    @Justacogitating I asked the CEO of my company today (Australian arm of MSN) if we’d all be getting Nokias. He chuckled. 🙂


    Lucky dip! None of the ticket machines on this bus are working. Free ride.


    @imdominating Very similar to the paleo version I make for us, but mine has more fat in it. 😀


    @imdominating Except I gruesomely injure myself every time I try to use the effing mandolin. BLOOD = EXTRA TASTINESS.

    Best part of my training session today! http://t.co/d4D7FQICR2


    @chrisgander Haha, I didn’t peg you as an Extended Universe fan, Gander. 🙂 I thought they weren’t using Thrawn at all?


    Decision: Marimekko Chucks or Liberty Vans?? @knitterjp @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @the_snook http://t.co/zjVVfB0dOK


    @randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @the_snook This is last pair that fits me. They’re a little roomy.


    @witty_knitter @knitterjp @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @the_snook I have too many sneakers! Should only get 1 pair. 🙂


    It was the artificial scarcity that swayed me. I went with the Vans. My first ever! And pretty, pretty Liberty…


    @RoseRed_Shoes I’ve already got a couple pairs of Chucks. Went with Liberty. ENABLER!


    @randomknits Platypus still had some sizes, I think. And I can see some inside Vans store at TGV too…


    @mikeefreedom My first ever Vans. I feel like a skater chick now.


    @drkknits Too late! I got Liberty. Mostly because he said Marimekko are easier to get; they have lots. Might try US next month.


    @RoseRed_Shoes Pretty much! I think the Liberty were a little more. These were like $95 at Platypus.


    @knitterjp They didn’t have the orange/pink in my size in all NSW. If they had, I wouldn’t have even hesitated. 🙁


    @witty_knitter No, no. Just the Liberty Vans. Marimekko can wait a bit. 🙂


    @RoseRed_Shoes @witty_knitter @knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits Maybe the Marimekko will be the reward for surviving Camp! 😀


    Good grief. Like 40 tweets about buying sneakers. In my defence, I do at least recognise how ridiculous I am.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @witty_knitter @knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits HAHAHAHA… (Can of worms. Backing away slowly…)


    Well, OF COURSE I’m gonna pair the Liberty Vans with my Sentient Xylophones Onesie. #headsasploding http://t.co/TzgKvfbFLX


    @redambition Too late! I went the Vans. For now


    @eileenDCoE I agree. I’d probably even go further. Being on the cultured meat, I say! I’d have tried that stem cell burger.


    @christine_jt Sure. I’m 36 and taking Yaz.


    @christine_jt Sure. kris.howard at gmail. I know @JennaPrice; happy to help. 🙂


    @Hartsyard Actually @daphnechong and I had an argument yesterday at work over whether the po boys were better than the poutine!


    RT @SerriLaw: Oh gosh ! #feelingFamous http://t.co/U7FZEXjZqW // Woohoo! Totes famous.

    The indignities continue. Our intern @SerriLaw had never posted a letter before. And had to ask me – as village elder – where to put stamp.


    Definitely one of those “screaming in my head like Elaine” days.


    @imdominating Did you like the reference to Chicago? 🙂


    Somebody got a new toy today. Even as an avowed iHipster, this is pretty schmick. http://t.co/QTBDXZqr8n


    @handmethepanda Yup. With Retina touchscreen.


    Damn. @hartsyard got a #goodfoodguide hat? Now I’ll never get another table!


    @drkknits It has a shiny, shiny touchscreen. I may or may not be stroking it while I drink my red wine.


    @manaboutnewtown I thought Oscillate Wildly had one several years back.
