Agreed. I rarely pay $25 for a T shirt. I will probably wait until more shirts become available. If they do, I will look at more options for my overspent dollars.

Al sure is tweeting alot today. Perhaps a bit of nervous energy

Al please keep tweeting this much on a daily basis it's wonderful

"If you’d told me 30 years ago this would happen, I never would’ve believed it. If you’d told me 2 WEEKS ago, I never would’ve believed it"

THIS WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER TWEETED IN THE HISTORY OF TWEETING. AND THIS TOO:

I’m so pleased everybody is enjoying the album, and I’m enormously grateful for everyone’s support. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

His understandable shock and overwhelming happy, and disbelief in all this, is just so visible and I could almost hear his voice reading this aloud omggg <3

I melted. hgjfkldsjfld Al I love you so much. ;w; ESPECIALLY when you're super happy/ecstatic/floating on cloud 27 as I just bet you are today <3333

Al's next tweet is #2,700!

Oooh, special number!! I wonder what he'll say... <3

Al tweeted this today. You can not make this stuff up. -
"Wait, this isn't an article in The Onion? This is REAL?? #Idiocracy"

Then he tweeted the link to this page. Unbelievable! - http://gawker.com/language-school-blogg ... 1613916147" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yes, someone was actually fired for writing a blog post about homophones. He taught English as a second language. I am not making this up. There are some great comments under the article, but my favorite is the clip someone posted of Strother Martin saying "What we have here is a failure to communicate". Do yourself a favor and read the article. I don't want to spoil it for you as to exactly why this man was fired.

Here is Al's tweet, with my reply below. Well, I thought it was funny.

Hope they don't have to take science class and learn about homo sapiens.....

really? It's 2014 people! Get over it. Next they are going to ban the word cunninglinguist from social media.

Now that there wasn't proper English, but... I am failing to communicate proper words right now at this article... (btw awesome comment there, Patti XD I bet if Al sees it he'll have a good laugh at the 'weight watt??' bit!)

Oh gosh. x_x
And I thought the education system was going down just 'cause of budget cuts, and teachers not wanting to spend much money on making things like... learning a musical instrument mandatory (fun!! sorry, had to stick that in there!), and not just that but REALLY focusing on TEACHING, giving students something to truly LEARN instead of just memorize and pop-quiz on...


This...this is a whole new example of both the cause AND result of people not caring to learn anything about the world, be it language or manners.


*sloooowly steps off soapbox* sorry.
