Morning Debriefing 2/23/11

1) Norm MacDonald (@NormMacdonald) was trending on Twitter in Los Angeles.  Apparently, he tweeted 14 times yesterday adding to his 16 total times he has tweeted since 2009… and he still has over 30,000 followers.  Makes Follow Fridays seem kind of pointless, doesn’t it?

6) Recently: Man has 39 Wives, nearly 100 children.  When I first read that, I hope that his 100 children just do impressions like a bad comic all the time until he goes clinically insane.

7) If you choose to dance while people are telling jokes instead of talking, you’re still heckling.  In fact, you’re worst.  Stop it.
