Favrd/Jakec: A Best Of
Some of you might be aware that between creating staggering works of literary brilliance, I like to say funny (hit-or-miss, it’s really up to you) things on Twitter. When historians review me, they’re going to divide my Twitter comedy into two eras: A Golden Age and then a New Wave. The Golden Age was back in the day when I made the joke that made it into Twitter Wit, and the New Wave are jokes made in the last couple months. These jokes have been less well-received, marking a shift in tone and style for Jake… I mean, me. Sorry, sometimes I slip in third-person when I’m being self-indulgent. Anyway, here’s a showcase of some of those tweets that I feel were deserving of far more praise:

Giving my girlfriend a facial. Nooo, not that kind. The one where I come on her face.Link



I would do anything for a Klondike, but I won’t do that.Link



I feel that sex is an act best performed away from the prying eyes of another individual.Link



Sweet, I found some money in the back pocket of the guy standing in front of me!Link



I love Infinite Jest. I just can’t put it down. Ever.Link



In the hospital. My doctor looks like House. Bad news for me, I’m fairly sure it IS lupus.Link



I’m so anti-conservative, I think hetero marriage should be outlawed.Link



People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, as your victims can see you walking around naked.Link



Idea: “The Hill”, a reality series about a group of upper-class congressmen and the drama of their day-to-day lives.Link



Book idea: “Stuff My Crushes Have Said”. Including classics like “What was your name again?” and “That’s close enough”!Link



Lady Gaga should have her own show. “One and a half men”.Link



I want to taste the new iSnack but I dont want to contribute to Kraft’s profit margin. Is it possible to pirate condiments? Is there a site?Link



I’m doing really well in the Twitter demo of 18-24 hot, blonde models advertising low interest credit cards.Link



Hyperbole is the worst thing ever.Link



Man, these chewy cookies are like crack. Probably because of all the crack I put in them.Link



Has the moon surrendered yet?Link



British spelling always seemed more friendly to me. The words always include u.Link



The first rule of polite club is you do not talk about polite club… please.Link



Two guys and a girl walk into a Dominoes, the guy at the counter goes “Mama Mia! What is-a this? A sitcom?”Link



Have fun at work today, fuckers! It’s already the weekend in AustraliHOLY SHIT A GIANT SPIDER/DEADLY SNAKE/HURRICANE/DROUGHT/KEVIN RUDDLink



I’ve already picked out a name for my autobiography. “Noun And Noun Colon A Brief Summary”Link



I thought about joining a monastery, but I couldn’t get into the habit.Link



The party is ongoing over at Twitter.
