The other day I may have said
I’ll bet you thirtyseven.fifty (or whatever is legal) that @Lileks is funnier in the third person.
@justacoolcat Meaning . . . I’m a lump of wet wood in person?
You know, I’ve never met Mr.Lileks in person, but I think he may have meant
” Meaning . . . @lileks is a lump of wet wood in person?”
Wait, that wasn’t funny either, but I stand by my original assertion and would love to hear Lileks tell a story about himself in the third person.
Anyway if you’ve lived under a rock and haven’t checked out lileks.com you should and you probably want to follow him on Twitter too. Even if he doesn’t tweet in the third person, he’s still pretty funny as referenced by his bleat post Retweet Theater: Fail Whale.

You know, I know a lot of people love that guy, but his humor is just not my cup of tea. Kinda like Prairie Home Companion.
@erica – I almost called Lileks one of the state’s two best known curmudgeon, but I thought it might make Bob Collins feel left out.
You said it, not me….
Lake W doesn’t bring this type of game.
