We're coming up on 9/17, a year after the tweet above. Will #Idea4928 still happen? What will it entail? What is it entitling re-tweeters first dibs at?
I don't has a twitter and thus I did not retweet the tweet. Any chance an outsider can also have first dibs? If something is happening I want to know. :) if not, I blame myself. Damn you @studerc
I get the picture in my head of meh employees scratching their heads, while yelling "OH Crap! What the heck were we thinking?" and trying to put something together for next week.
@SSteve Oh maybe easy but… All the sharp pointy ends on the (#) pound sign intimidate me. Beside the fact, the phrases Hashtag and trending have not made much sense to me, so thus far I have forgone the bird behavior of tweeting. Besides I don’t understand the point of it? I don’t yack it up on Facebook either. I do have a FB account but mostly abstain from saying “nothing of “importance. I have understood tweeting as sending a text message to the world. Is that not so? Why, what would I have to say to the world that might be important enough that a small line of text is going to convey worth and not just another Bing bong of annoyance? Why do people tweet? Now time travel! That would be great fun! The places I would go, the people I would meet, very cool!
@silverqueen haha! "Bing Bong of Annoyance" needs to be the next social networking site. No words, no pictures, just obnoxious notifications. Like a facebook poke.
@silverqueen Don't look to me to defend Twitter. I look at it now and then but have never found anything very useful about it. If I ever get around to making a solo album would you mind if I called it "Bing Bong of Annoyance"? I love that. (Note: I will never get around to making a solo album.)
Yeh, me too! I didn't know anything about it in 2013 and I don't tweet. Can those of us who didn't do it before get in on the fun? Do I have to learn how to TWEET now to be able to qualify? Bummbed!
@cwh True story: my wife went to the dentist this morning and got a crown. Last night after I showed her some of the Apple Event she said she was hoping it was a digital crown. Our dentist uses a 3D CAD program to control an automated crown-making machine so I say it qualifies as a digital crown.
@Ignorant I actually went and looked up "Twitter for Dummies",. It sounds too complicated and annoying. I guess I'll stay in my cave with old school email. MEH
@Kleineleh!BING BONG! For shits and giggles I did just as @ssteve suggested. I put into google “ Twitter for Silver Queen”. Alas I didn’t get the one word result as expected. I learned that had I wanted to actually be consistent across platforms with the same user name I could not. It was taken in 2011. And I perused a few things the Silver Queen Id had to say! OMG the garbage! “Eh Udah tau blum kalo J.K Rowling baru aja mengeluarkan buku terbaru nya mengenai salah satu karakter yang ada di Harry Potter”
Nothing of importance was a totally MEHgnificantly undder statement! What is that tripe! No need to venture into bird land for me! Needless to say I don’t get it. Hahahahah
Seeing as these folks love cruel irony, (along with other torture devices like biting sarcasm and horrible puns) I could see it ending up being a Pirate Crap... And it would arrive two weeks later, after International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
@kenlovesmoney Not sure if it wasn't quite clear enough in the messaging, but the thing people got for RT'ing was a Fuku free of charge and nothing more (unless the Fuku they got happened to include a note).
@JonT thanks Jon. I should have figured that out. I was thinking I'd end up with 1 paid and 1 non-paid. Didn't think to check if you guys actually took the payment for the paid.
What will really bake your noodle later on... will it have still happened had you not mentioned it?
@marklog has transitioned from goat to oracle.

It's @studerc 's fault that I didn't re-tweet this a year ago.
@Bogie I also blame @studerc
@Bogie @speediedelivery my bad. I hope you accept my deepest apologies
I get the picture in my head of meh employees scratching their heads, while yelling "OH Crap! What the heck were we thinking?" and trying to put something together for next week.
@jaybird That's totally not true at all and we're definitely prepared and know exactly what we want to do about this. Definitely.
@JonT :::cough, cough:::bullshit:::cough, cough....
I don't know, since I didn't get the DM, but I think 'dibs' was giving those who retweeted a headsup so they'd know to be here in time to snag one.

@silverqueen me thinks you be "tweeting" on meh…(and meh being meh no 140 character limit as they would be too lazy to count.)
@silverqueen you don't need to use twitter to create, you can use it to consume. Follow people you find interesting and read the things they tweet.
@silverqueen haha! "Bing Bong of Annoyance" needs to be the next social networking site. No words, no pictures, just obnoxious notifications. Like a facebook poke.

Blasted @studerc I don't do the twitter...
@jimmyd103 if it's any consolation...and I doubt it will be. I also do not use the twitter machine. Apologies for my disgrace.
I think we have our answer now.
Damn, I want crap sold to me :(
Yeh, me too! I didn't know anything about it in 2013 and I don't tweet. Can those of us who didn't do it before get in on the fun? Do I have to learn how to TWEET now to be able to qualify? Bummbed!
@silverqueen Not only do you need to learn how to tweet (easy), but you need to learn how to time-travel (hard).
@SSteve just one second while i fly to the moon and go back in time with my digital crown.
@cwh True story: my wife went to the dentist this morning and got a crown. Last night after I showed her some of the Apple Event she said she was hoping it was a digital crown. Our dentist uses a 3D CAD program to control an automated crown-making machine so I say it qualifies as a digital crown.
But did anyone get first dibs? Was the "dibs" the ability to remember it?
I wanna retweet that but I guess it's too late.
@jsh139 it's never too late to regurgitate old tweets!
@DaveInSoCal Well in that case.... Retweeted to my paltry list of 39 followers! lol
@jsh139 I retweeted today, too. Not gonna talk about how many followers I have.
@jsh139 It's always today, right? Or do we need to retroactively name a goat for Sept. 2013?
@editorkid haha that's true!
@DaveInSoCal i changed my system clock then RT'd.
@cwh which will work not at all, but thanks for playing...
@Ignorant I actually went and looked up "Twitter for Dummies",. It sounds too complicated and annoying. I guess I'll stay in my cave with old school email. MEH
@silverqueen You should undoubtedly have looked up "Twitter for Silver Queens." It would have been a book with one word on one page: "Meh."
@Kleineleh!BING BONG!
For shits and giggles I did just as @ssteve suggested. I put into google “ Twitter for Silver Queen”. Alas I didn’t get the one word result as expected.

I have an account I used a time or 2 a couple years ago.
FWIW I retweeted it now.... at least I think I did.
Karma and all that.
I'm still wondering if the dibs are for tomorrow's item. Since they list at 11PM Central, the fuku is technically the item of the 16th.
Seeing as these folks love cruel irony, (along with other torture devices like biting sarcasm and horrible puns) I could see it ending up being a Pirate Crap... And it would arrive two weeks later, after International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
Or not...
How the hell did I miss that tweet a year ago? Damn.
The tweet WAS the heads up. The experiment continues...
I know some people got their regular fuku second shipments, but did anyone who originally RT'd last year get their "something silly"?
Not like I feel I'm magically owed something, just curious.
@kenlovesmoney Not that I know of.
@Thumperchick this is your fault you know.
@carl669 Damnit. Sorry about that
@Thumperchick Still mad it's your fault. pout

@JonT thanks Jon. I should have figured that out. I was thinking I'd end up with 1 paid and 1 non-paid. Didn't think to check if you guys actually took the payment for the paid.
Well played.
@xarous I am so sorry for all of the confusion.
@Thumperchick I am sorry that it is still your fault. ;)
