Tweeter of the Month:
@audipenny
Perhaps the most laugh-out-loud Twitter talent out there right now, Audrey Farnsworth crafts tweet jokes that seem to start out in a safe, predictable way, but quickly veer off into bizarre surrealism. She is a brilliant mixture of mundane and insane. I absoluterly LORVE this kind of humor. It reminds me a Jack Handey in a very palpable way. It was hard for me to pick just a couple of tweets from her, so here are six:
I'd love to stay but I've got that flu of where if you keep talking, my arms turn into shovels and I just start digging

It's so good to see you, can you tell I'm lying, are my eyes doing that thing of where arms grow out of them and push you away

Catch me in the clubs surfboarding into your heart on a saltine

How far along into the home brewing process before it's real beer I'm making and not just baby bats in hospital gowns all over my house

Life hack: put a pair of glasses on a roasted ham and just stare at it and and scream and don't move anymore forever

Romance your partner by taking the form of a tortilla, wrapping yourself around your boyfriend & screaming, "U HAVE NOWHERE TO GO, BEAN MAN"

Album of the Month:
Alcohol & Isolation by Three Ninjas
Old-school, howling, angry, depressed, authentic country music. None of this pop-country crap that has dominated the country music scene for the last 30 years. I wrote about this album a little while ago. And I went to its album release party on Tuesday night. Here’s a photo of that:
And here’s a sample song. Take a wissen; it’s good stuffs:
Also, if you manage to track down a physical copy of the CD, there are GOBS of bonus songs at the end! DO IT!
Game of the Month:
Adventure Time: Card Wars
There was an episode of Adventure Time a while back where Finn & Jake played a holographic parody of “Magic: The Gathering” called “Card Wars.” Well, since this is the 21st century, someone went ahead and made a real version of the game so you, too, can play it! It is surprisingly fun, and the voice actors recorded a metric tonne of lines for it. It does a surprisingly good job of capturing the feel and rules of the game as played in the episode. Cons: it’s not free, and it’s micro-transaction based, so unless you’re willing to pony up the cash it’ll take you a long time to build up a powerful deck. Also, there’s no multiplayer, which seems weird since the episode was about a two-player card game. Oh, well. FLOOP THE PIG!
