Take it from Snee: Join my 2010 campaign

I, Rick Snee, am throwing my hat into the ring and am officially campaigning for 2010.

No, I’m not running for office. The mere fact that I, me, am qualified only reflects how unqualified most other elected officials are. Besides, the pay’s terrible, the old guys are creepy and–because I insist on burying my own hookers myself–the hours are long.

I am campaigning for the fight of the decade: how to pronounce 2010.

Let’s face it, England has been boring since the end of World War II. Sure, they had a few good bands in the 1960s, but they all came over to the U.S. as soon as they could. Since then, it’s been Bond movies and David Beckham as highlights.

Perhaps that is why a 104-year old English woman is so popular on Twitter. She’s got over 27,000 followers and she loves tweeting, as the kids say.

She and other old ladies tweet about fun things like hair, Jell-O and brands of adult diapers. You can smell the excitement.

Perhaps the followers are hanging in suspense for when she kicks the tweet bucket.
