    This 29-year-old guy named Justin lives with his 73-year-old father.  Justin just writes down the stuff that his father says, such as:

    • “Happy birthday, I didn’t get you a present…Oh, mom got you one? Well, that’s from me then too, unless it’s shitty.”
    • “Anytime someone sells you food in a sack, it’s not a sack of food, it’s a sack of shit.”
    • “The worst thing you can be is a liar….Okay fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but THEN, number two is liar. Nazi 1, Liar 2″
    • “Tennessee is nice. The first time I vomited was in tennessee, I think.”
    • “Don’t touch the bacon, it’s not done yet. You let me handle the bacon, and i’ll let you handle..what ever it is you do. I guess nothing.”
    • “The dog is an outside dog. You want an inside dog, you go get your own inside.”

    It’s hilarious . . . check it out.

    twitterUnless you’ve been living in a cave, you know that Twitter is just about the hottest Web phenomenon  on the planet right now.

    EGF Costa Rica Group is (always) on the cutting edge of technology and, today, has unveiled a new Web site that let’s you be a “voyeur” into the Twitter world . . . and you don’t even have to be a Twitter member (or a “Tweeter” or a “Twit” or whatever they’re called).

    At this new Web site, called Tweet Costa Rica, you can follow what it being tweeted about Costa Rica . . . updated every few seconds.

    If you live in Costa Rica, visit Costa Rica, plan on visiting Costa Rica, or have any interest in Costa Rica, go to Tweet Costa Rica and see what people are tweeting about the country.

    If your a member of Twitter, follow tweetcostarica  (and it will follow you back).  If you’re not a Twitter member, give some thought to joining . . . it can be interesting, educational and fun!

    If you “tweet”, you should read PCMag.com‘s “Top 13 Twitter Don’ts”:

    PCMag1. Don’t live-tweet TV shows. @CorinneIOZO warns that lots of people use DVRs or watch shows on Hulu these days, so spoiling big moments (“OMG, the smoke monster was actually from outer space! No way!”) is a major no-no. As an alternative, tweet an inside joke that the show’s viewers will get, but that doesn’t give away any important details.

    2. Don’t say anything that could get you fired or prevent you from getting a job. @JoelSD points out that if your tweets are public, they really are open to everyone, as has been demonstrated time and time again.

    3. Don’t be boring. A simple rule that @kmonson follows is “Never tweet about food or the weather.” If your friends see one more “Good morning Twitterverse!” or “I had some awesome corn flakes for breakfast,” you’re getting un-followed.

    4. Don’t forget the Twitter lingo: RT is retweet, and @name is how you respond or give props to someone. Feel free to be generous with both your RTs and your @s.

    5. Don’t tweet more than ten times a day, or more than five times an hour, says @JasonCross00. It gets annoying and takes space and attention away from other Twitterers’ links and observations. If you have that much to say, maybe it belongs on a blog.

    6. Don’t reply to every single tweet. As @seanludwig points out, it gets old fast.

    7. Don’t tweet drunk, cautions @whitneyarner. Just like in real life, your followers might get a kick out of your drunk tweets, but you’ll probably regret them in the morning.

    8. Don’t tell us about something cool or life-changing without a link or picture (use a service like TwitPic for your photos, and a URL shortener like TinyURL or is.gd for your links).

    9. Don’t retweet something and leave off the original Twitter poster. Always give credit to those who wrote it first.

    10. Don’t ignore people who send you a direct message or a reply, says @LanceUlanoff. Part of the Twitter experience involves conversing with your followers when possible.

    11. Don’t #hashtag every topic. After a while, your topics will be ignored.

    12. Don’t whine about people not following you, pleads @SaschaSegan. If you’re good at providing interesting stuff and you’re patient, you’ll get the followers you crave so badly.

    13. Don’t tweet your bathroom habits. Seriously. Just don’t do it.
