    Hakeem Nicks destroyed for me today. I'm still expected to lose though. Ugh.

      I've always enjoyed the massive overreactions that Football(College and Pros)seem to bring out after the first 2-3 weeks of the season.

          If I'm ever given the choice to go to a mall on the weekend or drive a railroad spike through my hand, I'm choosing the spike every time.

          I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

            There's actually a right and wrong way to do hashtags?
            Definitely. Hashtags should only be used when you want to include something you tweet in a search string. Also, a hashtag has to EXIST. Hashtagging things like #BeefJerkyBlues is stupid because nobody else is tweeting about that so it's pointless.

            If you're saying "Damn, the #Braves are looking really good tonight!" you don't need to hashtag "Braves" because you're already putting it in your tweet.

            BUT if you say "Heyward 2-run shot! #Braves", you're putting it in there so that anyone who searches "Braves" will see your tweet even though it's not part of your main message.


            ....had to clarify lol. Hashtag misuse is a major pet peeve of mine.

              I think there's exceptions to the "the hashtag must exist" rule.

              Like, if I'm watching a random wrestling event, let's say the Royal Rumble from 2006 (as I was yesterday), I might throw a #RoyalRumble2006 tag on to the end of my tweets so people know what the hell I'm talking about.

              In that case, I don't care that nobody's searching for it, I'm using it more to provide context.
