Twitter jokes circa 2019

I set up a Twitter account years ago, put some joke quotes from (sort of) famous creators, forgot the account existed, and then when reminded of it this evening when someone tried to log into it and I was notified. What a rollercoaster!

Anyway, here is the sum total of that Twitter account. I think it's pretty good!

A lot of people thought that Borfy was just about a group of teens fighting bats but one of them wasn't a teen. The book man.

One morning I went into the shower and was attacked by a pigeon with a dagger. That incident inspired two of my films.

Another morning I awoke to find my entire house filled with pigeons. They did nothing but stare at me. Eventually I managed to drive them out through a particular exit point. This inspired another classic film of mine.

— Albert Hitchflork, director of Window in the Back Bedroom
