Weird thing happened on the way to Twitter.

I kid others — well, Dion — for making Freudian slips.  But WTF eh? 

Hard to explain:  And I have to assume you know what Twitter is. 

So I post our columnist Mike Adams’ latest column—pre-post it actually since my deal with him is that I have to wait until a certain time before posting it.  I posted it now for public consumption at midnight, eastern time.

This particular column contains a lot of swear words—not his, per se, but those of his students.  I opted to asterisk them out, but just to make sure I didn’t leave one out, I wanted to do a word search to ensure I didn’t leave one out.  So off I went, and typed out the word fu**  — inputting the entire word of course, not with asterisks—in the search box at the bottom of my screen. 

But, see, I recently changed my PTBC publishing setup such that my blog entries and columnist posts can get sent to Twitter by simply typing into a box right above that search box.  And I’m sure you can finish this sentence… I of course typed the word fu** into that Twitter box instead of the search box. 

Voila, my latest Twitter “tweet” (as they call ‘em) on my Twitter page, was, well as you can see here with my yellow blotch over it to protect your sensitive eyes.  Even after I deleted that F’n mistake, it remains like this on the main page:

And on this sight’s left margin:

Holy asterisk.  And I hope you read Dr. Adams’ F’n column at midnight eastern. 

UPDATE:
Managed to fully delete it from Twitter now.  Asterisk me.
