Tweets of the week: Praying for Larry Warbasse
Yes, tweets of the week is still here
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life gives you tweets, make sure you write an edition of a dwindling, long-running compilation franchise of those tweets.
And thus it was.
We've got it all, including a sure-to-be TOTW first (and probably last) inclusion of a word search, some really quite adequate photoshopping, the weekly Thomas De Gendt appearance, and some other tweets we've found to reach the obligatory 10.
Oh, and get well soon Larry.
So without further unnecessary word count filler, 'ere's ya tweets.
