No, really. This is actual fun as opposed to OMFG-now-what-dapperosity-has-happened-in-the-Twitterverse fun. Yesterday Boz's brother asked everybody to follow @BozJWeir on Twitter! So now Boz has 11 190 382 409 432 Twitter followers. If you were previously following silent cereal-killer Boz on his old @BozWeir88 account, please migrate on over to @BozJWeir so he can wonder once again why he has 600+ people he doesn't know hanging on his every word. Even more exciting: He's already tweeted FIVE times! In less than a day! This handily beats his previous record of two tweets in a week followed by an 11-month vow of silence. We're really excited to see if he can keep this up.

So welcome back to Twitter, Boz! Here are a few handy tips to help enhance your Twitter experience:

(1) Please tweet early and often. Because we love that. Even though you don't know who we are. And by "we" I mean all 63,737 crazy people who follow that guy known as "Boz's brother."

(2) Please check your @replies frequently. We're not only following you, we're tweeting back at you like a bunch of chirpy little chickadees on crack. Just type in your Twitter name, @BozJWeir, in the "search" box on the righthand side of your screen, and click the magnifying glass. Then you can see who's tweeting at you, and you can reply to any tweets if you'd like to. Note: To avoid committing career hari-kari in a really public way, we recommend ignoring any tweets from @TahitianFantasy.

(3) Know your hashtags. Hashtags are those weird little Twitter phrases that start with "#" followed by a bunch of words all run together, like this: #dapperisthenewbitchslap. If you're looking for tweets on a particular topic, you can also use the search box to search for hashtags, like #askmeabout mycrockpot or #stewedmongoosewithlemmingsauce ismyfavcrockpotrecipe. Your brother has gotten really good at hashtags. Some that he's used that have become fan favorites include #Dingles, #DirtyLove, #mybutt, #mybed, #Ilovemymullet, and #Windex.

(4) Twitpics are an absolute must. Hungry followers are simply ravenous for these, like my neighbors across the street who live their lives in a cloud of odd-smelling smoke. Your brother, a highly skilled computer hacker who goes by the alias "Mr. I Twitter-Pictured!," has gotten quite adept with twitpics. Please feed us often because we get a little unstable when we're hungry and might start drunk-tweeting random stuff like "verdict is still out #epicfail #maybeishouldstoremygoldmedalinmymouth nexttomyfoot #dappermeansalwayshavingtosay youresorry" before we realize that actually, someone has stolen our iPhone and hacked our account and looked through all our @replies and chosen just one to tweet to and then put everything back and quietly tiptoed away ...

So have fun, Boz! Sorry for all the drug references. And don't let anyone call you a thesbian! Turtle rules!

And now, a word from our sponsor:

Does your ego feel bloated? Uncomfortable? Like you're just way too full of yourself?  Are you suffering from an inability to distinguish douchiness from asshattery? An inability to accept responsibility?

Other symptoms may include an uncontrollable urge to obfuscate, distract, and shift blame here and there randomly, as well as compound ignorance (you don't know that you don't know).

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor today about Weirbilify, the answer to one of today's most troubling conditions. Let Weirbilify help you grow a pair and do what's right, no matter how difficult that may be.

Label warnings: Sudden withdrawal from Weirbilify may produce unwanted side effects. These may include projectile vomiting, unexplained changes in skin tone, Twitter Tourette's, hacker's cough, inordinate fascination with round gold objects, feelings of inadequacy,  and an inability to identify others by gender or species. Which can seriously affect your ability to get a date.

Weirbilify: The man-up solution. Don't use Twitter without it.
