[WHAT ARE YOU DOING?] PippinPimp: Gandalf asked me to risk my life lighting a signal fire. Then I remembered Gandalf is a fire wizard. He can't light it himself?! What up? Gandalf: Fine. I'll use Twitter talk. Twitter twitter butterfly, twitter forth, save my hide, as you have & will again, twitter twitter little friend MinasTirithGuard34: Damn. Some moth flew into our torch and burst into flame, then flew into the signal pyre and lit it off! Hope I don't get fired for this. Amon Din: @MinasTirith I lit our signal fire! Eilenach: @AmonDin I lit our signal fire! Nardol: @Eilenach I lit our signal fire! Erelas: @Nardol I lit our signal fire! Min-Rimmon: @Erelas I lit our signal fire! Calenhad: @Min-Rimmon I lit our signal fire! Halifirien: @Calenhad I lit our signal fire! StriderRanger: Theoden! The Beacons of Minas Tirith! The Beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid. HorseKing99: I'm giving a dramatic pause. HorseKing99: More dramatic pause. HorseKing99: Still with the dramatic pause. HorseKing99: And Rohan will answer! Muster the Rohirrim. Assemble the army at Dunharrow … You have two days. On the third, we ride for Gondor and war!

UFOsTurnMeOn is wondering when exactly his new partner became such a hardnosed tightass. and thinks possibly it's good for him. AgentStarbuck Just landed back in Washington – taking a cab home, and browsing twitter on my cell. My latest case reeked of uselessness and boredom. UFOsTurnMeOn just received agentstarbuck's friend request … jesus christ, you twitter? AgentStarbuck Yeah, and I'm betting the Lone Gunmen do too. What are their screennames? BeardedKnowItAll? UnwashedSidekick? UFOsTurnMeOn frohike came to the hospital for you, you know AgentStarbuck My sister told me afterwards she practically had to drag YOU there. I'm glad my abduction-induced fatal cancer made your busy daily schedule. UFOsTurnMeOn you should really not be talking about such sensitive information over twitter ChrisCarter No, guys, go right ahead. You are such dorks. David, be on time tomorrow, k?
