Exactly! This can be Tom's ladder to the famous helicopter! Just imagine if the "Stuff White People Like" guy had talent, but Tom starts out with the gimmicky premise and then wows them with the real deal.

FUEL DUMP is great so far (Chapter 1.)

Turn on the mobile updates, and you can follow along live. As silly as it sounds, its a lot of fun.

I hadn't logged into Twitter for six months but dammit if Fuel Dump isn't a page turner!

Tom's worried it (Fuel Dump) is flopping .
I don't think so.
However, I thought we'd get a sentence a day - he may be giving us more than we need or can handle.

One sentence a day?! One sentence AT A TIME!

I don't want to mess up anybody's tweeting. I will figure out a way to distribute it at a more digestible pace if it's throwing anybody.

But one sentence a day? We're gonna be doing this for a ten years!

Tom.

And imagine the comments jerks would leave poor Tom when the sentence of the day was "Whatever." Daily anticipation would lead to weird overanalyzation of every sentence, rather than allowing each one to be what it needs to be.

(I'm defending a decision that is not in jeopardy of changing in any way.)

I second Ramsbot.

If the computer you built out of milk cartons stuffed with Brillo pads is having a hard time with the influx of too many sentences, you may need to upgrade to something a little hardier.

I give up.  I like that I can make Twitter update Facebook and thus "use" Facebook without having to go onto it.  I give up on Facebook too.  (Give up resisting.)

the "Stuff White People Like" guy does have talent. He's a pretty hilarious writer.

Twitter spammers - how do you deal with them? Just block them? I've been getting several "followers" lately with fishy profiles.
