@avery: Those are really good, but I think every tweet has to involve the ® or ™ for it to be eligible.  Still, those were damn good.  Quite funny and stuff only you would / could say.

Addendums are confusing. Can I just re-offer my offering with a symbol on it?

I think the flashes are making me not develope characters enough. I love flash but my flashes are turning into exercises, so going shorter is not for me right now. Will read and enjoy the entries though.

I have a couple more that I will post when I get home from work as Twit-twit-twoo is filtered here.

@ cove - well this time round there needn't be any characters! (other than the 140 or less needed to compose the thing). Also, I think you are hard on yourself. That one piece you wrote a while back that I took off you for Solarcide, that had tons of character.

It sounds like it should be a song, right? Or a band. The Big-Bang-Baby-Boom Quartet.

Bone porn = extraordinarily skinny women who wear little to no clothing.

Ok sorry for complaining. Looks like you guys are having fun. I just did a tweet to Chester with the TM, but., and don't laugh, but I can't figure out how to transfer just the 1, 2, and 3 with links to this chain without cutting and posting the whole tweet. How are you guys doing that? @covewriter1

Hey Cove, you gotta highlight part of your post, then click on the little symbol that looks a little like a globe and a chain link (to the right of 'quote', when you mouse over it, it says 'link') on the posting tool bar. You can then put in your URL and it will turn red and become a hyperlink when you post.

You can edit your tweets, FYI, people. 

And, yes, as I stated at the very, very, very top (as I always do) I would like to see a registered or trademark symbol on your tweet. It is a simple matter of copying and pasting--or originating your document in a program and then embellishing or festooning it with the stamp.

I am glad people are having fun. That is the idea. Don't take this shit so seriously. Let yourself be yourself and see what happens. Or, become someone you didn't think you were and surprise yourself.

Nothing like a good line.

I haven't been in this alcove of the internet for a little bit. Who won last month? I can't seem to find it.

So this month's a twitter thing about the future? I can do that.

Hey, why didn't you guys instead of doing @Chester why didn't you come up with a cool hashtag so everyone's attempts could be aggregated under one page on twitter seperate from all of Chester's other messages? The navigation on that site is already complicated enough.

Hashtag would've been a good idea.

June may be a locked thread. I don't know.
