@SpeakerMcCarthy For everyone else, please note that the “you” in this tweet refers to tax criminals. For you @SpeakerMcCarthy and all Republicans, yes you make promises to criminals and you deliver.

@JohnFetterman I hope Oz has a bye-bye this week.

It’s All True…a monologue about a man just sitting in a bar, this time The Sheltering Sky, thinking about things he doesn’t want to think about. #sfthtr #bayareatheatre https://t.co/OFeY8a0X2y

Today is 50th anniversary of #DBCooper. @DoyleELF does a great job performing a monologue about the man who skyjacked the plane, or claimed to do so. Bourbon and Coke by yours truly. https://t.co/jFhPMvIf4p via @YouTube

I keep seeing these things that say a hot dog takes 36 minutes off your life. That can’t possibly be true! I would already be dead, or I’m living to 123!

@LilyJaniak I understand waiting a few mins for late arriving audience, but often the show begins 15 mins past the listed start time. Then there are mins of announcements. It all leads to a long evening, and w/ an intermission-less show, a certain urgency to be first to the restroom.

@CharlesMcNulty Reason not the need.

I mean I’m sure many people have mentioned this, but since I don’t watch much TV, I haven’t heard it said yet, so I’m wondering, hasn’t the Royal Family ever heard of a thing called a Non-Disclosure Agreement? Are those agreements used in England?

Another week, another monologue for #quickfiremonologues: How Could You Allow. Another wonderful interpretation by @DoyleELF, Alan Coyne. This one is five minutes long and not exactly a joy ride, but I’m happy and surprised that I wrote it. #sfthtr https://t.co/FWJ0T85lZx

[Robert Estes @RobertEstesplay]

Alan Coyne just made a great recording of a monologue I wrote (for the Quickfire Monologue Collaboration on Facebook) about a guy who hates Twitter. Obvs, I need to post it here. It’s only 92 seconds! Check it out! #sfthtr #bayareatheater #bayareatheatre https://t.co/2yEq7T8Zu8

Anyone looking for a sweet little venue for a show in the after? Nice view. Free parking.

@bittergertrude Whenever I see “Let. That. Sink. In” on any social media, the only thing I remember about the post/tweet/what have you is how much I detest that phrase.

Unsolicited post-Covid advice for the bars I love: Institute a three drink minimum. Don’t enforce it, except for me. Thank you. @TheAlleyOakland @ForbiddenIsland @MartunisSF @theBuenaVista @pianofight

In light of Peloton bike “controversy,” I just remembered that we once again must debate tan suits, spicy mustard, and the vital importance of doing nothing because DEFICIT. #Inauguration2021 #Inauguration

Oh great, wonderful, now we have earthquakes. I keep thinking that Mr. Earthquake Man is going to get jealous of the other horsemen of the apocalypse. #California #bayarea #earthquake

If meaning follows usage, then thanks to spellcheck, we might as well define the word “if” as meaning “of.”
