After all, Seinfeld says he invented Twitter: Larry King no longer has a major-network TV gig, but the 81-year-old broadcaster is all over this Twitter business. Several times a day, King whips out a flip phone and dictates a random thought to an assistant, who then types the missive into the Twitter account in King’s name.
If the assistant is savvy, he or she will have set up a hot key on their laptop to randomly select and automatically type one of the following:
I miss my occasional lunches with Joe Biden … Does anyone still play Chinese Checkers? … I have to have a pastrami sandwich at least once a week … The Dane Cook Special on Showtime is terrific … That Donald Trump … I think Americans have given up on the potpie … My suspenders are digging into my shoulders …
Ewwww, it’s gross: Organic food company Amy’s Kitchen has recalled about 74,000 cases of frozen and boxed food products containing spinach that’s possibly tainted with the bacteria that causes listeria.
Of course, children have been saying pretty much the same thing about spinach for generations.
