I have been droppin’ it like it’s hot on Twitter for awhile now.
Coming up on my 10,000th Tweet in fact.
But, I’m not the only awesome Tweeter in town.
I’ll admit, it is an elite group, but I’m joined by a good couple of handfuls of awesome people who know how to put it down in 140 characters or less.
Are you one of them? Doubt it.
Do you wanna be? ‘Course you do.
Which is why I’m going to go ahead and suggest that if you’re not on Twitter (or your one of those lame individuals who signed up, Tweeted once or twice, and decided it’s not for you) you make it your New Year’s resolution to sign up and follow me get on board.*
Seriously, people. You want a piece of this action.
Twitter is a happy, fun place, full of people who are happy and fun.
Plus, we Tweeters know stuff. Like worthwhile type stuff that makes us cooler and better and desired by tons of other kinda people, some of which have money, who need people who know worthwhile type stuff.
Confused yet?
Doesn’t really matter.
The question really is, are you convinced.
Convinced that you want to be down with the Tweet club?
No?
Maybe that’s because you just don’t know what you’re working towards until I tell you who to stalk.
So yeah, thank me now, thank me later, doesn’t really matter as long as you recognize!
Welcome to this Tweet fueled edition of the BList: 2010’s Awesomest People on Twitter Minus the Celebrity People Who Are Funny on Purpose and/or by Mistake
If they don’t make you join Twitter, probably nothing that makes any kind of sense will.
Oh, and, the samples are direct quotes taken out of context to make them appear even funnier (for maximum convinceablity)**…
@nicegirlnotes- I am seriously considering "Pajama Jeans"
@ooph- Off to the happiest place on earth today. And I don’t mean an Irish Pub
@mamkatslosinit -I just promised my 4 year old nephew I’d buy him a possum for Christmas
@nuckingfutsmama -Perhaps I should pad my booty….
@xtremeparnthood- Holy crap I should have worn a dress!
@carabee- I’m ’bout to get my crab rangoon on.
@anissamayhew- I have learned to undo bras one-handed. I’m the perfect 16 yo guy
@SarcasticMomLC -I recommend choosing people who you know are down with riding on dolphins, doing flips ‘n shit
@backpackingdad -People who wear vests when they’re at no risk of drowning are ridiculous
@mooshinindy -unless it’s a dude about to be attacked by a Liger…
@mochamomma -Someone at Nikon is getting a hilarious email soon
@sassypiehole -Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is an endless pile of cold-hard cash
@whyisdaddycrying -that’s what she said
1. @ieatmykidzsnack- My spirit animal is the abominable snowman. (I realize the others weren’t ranked, but that’s because they are all equally funny at times, where as this fine specimen of a Twitter account holder is 100% funny all the friggin’ time. ALWAYS. Accept for when she’s slightly offensive. And then, she’s down right HILARIOUS!)
Last but not least there is me (don’t bother to ask why my Twitter handle doesn’t match my blog title. It’s a short story, but I’m still not telling it): @thenagainphoto- Never mind. Puked on my feet. Or, in intensive evil eye training camp at the moment. Or, I’m watching 16 & Pregnant. As I’m so much funnier when taken out of context, I could go on for days, but I’ll spare you.
No, run along (after you leave a comment that is) and FOLLOW ME do some Tweeting.
Want to check out previous editions of the Dumb Mom BList? They’re here (with many more planned for 2011)…
*Don’t cry. I’m not calling you lame well not entirely, I’m saying your excuse for not Tweeting is lame.
**Yes, convinceablity is a completely made up word that is meant to convey my message which is that you should join Twitter to FOLLOW ME enjoy making connections with ME people are real and awesome.

Hold up!!! You forgot my ass! I am funny shit! @mommyneedsvaca
Just so the world will know, I amended this BList to include @mommneedsvaca. I did it on Twitter, which you would know if you would GET ON BOARD!
I’m getting addicted to Twitter …. my feelings get hurt if I don’t get at least one mention a day ….
@diannakennedy
I know. I’m a little sad about it too because I actually seek people out to engage them in a Twitter-sation. Just so I can feel like a somebody every day. I also spent a little time celeb stalking on Twitter. It was largely unsuccessful.
I am totally guilty of being the lame-ass that signed up for Twitter and hasn’t logged on in at least a month. But then, I haven’t blogged in ages either. FML.
Well, you should definitely listen to me then and get back in the saddle. Being in the saddle makes you awesome and smart. Everyone wants to be awesome and smart, right?!
You know all the others pale in comparison to you. ;o)
@metrodcmom
Well thank you kindly! I’m heading to my box of unclaimed giveaways right now! And yes, flattery really does work on me. As do bribery and coercion. I tend to prefer flattery over the others though, just so you know. Dumb Mom is vain mom from time to time!
I wish I had more time to hang out on Twitter, but with work and being lazy I just don’t get over there that often.
I hear ya. Work used to be an issue for me too so I quit that job and got one that requires me to Tweet. And, The Dudes used to sorta be a challenge too. I figured out how to ignore them though so they aren’t really an issue now either:)
My goodness, woman, that’s a lot of tweets!
The first time I signed up for Twitter I thought is was a waste of time. Thank goodness I gave it a second chance. Its awesome!
Damn, woman. 10K? That’s pretty major.
I blame Twitter entirely for my blog. I’m entirely too verbose for 140 characters.
And I’d always figured that your Twitter handle and blog handle are mismatched because you preferred to consolidate both sides of your business life into a neat little package.
Yeah, that and because I’m lazy.
I’m so proud of my twitter friends that reach 10k tweets. Just means y’all are as dedicated to keeping communication alive… just like me.
(And I’m feeling left out too… just fyi. LOL)
Love tweeting with ya… but now I’m *REALLY* curious about why the twitter and blog names don’t match. I might bug you about it. #justsayin
The two don’t match because I was trying to be all clever and cover my bases with one Twitter name for both my photog biz and my blog. It really just confuses people from what I can tell. Now I’m too lazy to change it. Luckily being confused is a major part of my “brand” so it works, you know?! And, don’t feel left out, every person I know from blogging will make it onto a BList eventually. Just a matter of time. And flattery. As previously mentioned, that works too:)
Those are hilarious:-)
WOW! I am so honored that you would say that about little ‘ole me. Ummm can you please laminate and send this list to my mother?
So glad I could make you laugh. Hope to keep doing it in 2011 but with pay
@ieatmykidzsnack
I hope you get paid to make me laugh in 2011 as well, although I don’t intend to pay you personally. I mean, that’s just not how I roll:)
I’d say you nailed that list.
@unnaturalmother
WOOT WOOT! I love that you chose my tweet about showing up at the husband’s christmas party and realizing every single lady there was dressed black tie! Silly me in my slacks and blouse stuck out like a sore thumb!
@mamkatslosinit -I just promised my 4 year old nephew I’d buy him a possum for Christmas
OMG that made me die laughing. I am just not cool enough for this party.
pssst….Amanda I don’t get paid until Friday…is it cool if I pay you next week for talking me up like this?? *two thumbs up*!!
You don’t have to pay me, Mama K. Your happy smiling face is payment enough. That and wine. Which you will buy me in copious amounts when we meet again. Believe me when I say, half drunk Dumb Mom is about 38% more fun than sober Dumb Mom. Hard to even imagine a more awesome version of me, but she’s in here. And, she gets busy on the mic for cheap spirits purchased by nice friends.
Do bra tricks really HAVE a context?
I feel so honored. Like, should I write a speech or what?? I’ll make it 140 chars!
I think bra tricks serve a particular role in society. I mean, can you even imagine what life would be like without 16 & Pregnant on MTV? Because, you know what? I can’t.
Great list of some funny people!
Love all of these people! They make me laugh daily. And moi on there with them? WOW. You rock. Drinks are on me!
Drinks?! Drinks?! I will put you on every BList from here until forever if you’re gonna buy me drinks. OR cupcakes. Can I cash in my drink card for cupcakes? Sugar makes me even happier than alcohol. And yes, I am that sad.
Twitter told me that @whyisdaddycrying does not exist. Is Twitter lying to me?
I followed everyone else on the list (except those that I was already following) because I do whatever Dumb Mom tells me to do. And I promise to tweet more often now that my new phone lets me tweet! LOVE!
Thanks for the inclusion doll face. Hope you had a fabulous holiday.
And? Please say you were kidding about watching 16 and Pregnant. Or? I will have to drive 2000 miles and use the new bebe gun my husband bought for the kids without asking me and shoot your tv all to hell. (Disclaimer…I may not dislike that show at all. My aggression could be a direct response to the aforementioned bebe gun and the drum set that now grace my home.)
