After being on the business end of a right hook from Will.i.am’s manager, Perez Hilton traded punches with John Mayer on Twitter. The knockout blow comes when Mayer hits Hilton with this: now you sit down behind that Tandy computer and you hash out a Doogie diary. Be sure to pause, think, and keep typing.
Breaking out the Tandy smack strikes me as a lot like telling a little league ballplayer he throws like a girl.

First thought: Who's Will.i.am? (...and what's with all the punctuation? Are they glottal stops? Is he Armenian?)
Second thought: Who's Perez Hilton?
Third thought: Who's John Mayer?
Fourth thought: Twitter - hey! I know what Twitter is! I never use it! (I've never been good at expressing ideas that concisely. This shouldn't surprise any of you.)
Fifth and final thought: Hm. Maybe I'm not the primary audience for this particular blog post.

The capital "W" must have thrown you off. Maybe hellx's post will jog your memory.
My life would be better if I had never heard of Perez Hilton and John Mayer.
This sums up my thoughts on Twitter...although I did get a chuckle from a t-shirt I saw recently. It said "Show Me Your Twits."
The post wasn't really aimed at Twitterers or nit-Twits or fans of Perez, I just liked the line about Tandy and Doogie Howser. Had to include all the other stuff for context.
