Best March Madness Tweets (3/15/2012)

I haven't done one of these in awhile so this is long overdue! It's time for the best March Madness tweets! The NCAA men's basketball tournament is one of the best time's of the year. Social media and tweeter have only enhanced the event by connecting us to other fans and viewers from around the world. Here are some of the best, most creative, and funny tweets and comments about March Madness on Twitter. You'll notice some popular topics and themes including: productivity in America, VCU, Baylor's uniforms, candidates for the presidency, states that aren't states, and, yes, the Kardashians:

  • Interesting strategy by Baylor to dress as Teletubbies for 
  • If the  men don't win their  game tonight they can help elementary school kids cross the street in the morning 
  • TNT's decision to put NBA analysts on makes local radio broadcasts even more valuable. They actually know the teams.  
  • No detail left undiscovered. Shaka Smart wore very same tie in first round game last year. 
  • VCU head coach Shaka Smart is like the groundhog; we see him once a year, he makes national news, then forget about him for 11 months. 
  • My  source says Shaka Smart is "Option #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5," whatever that may mean. 
  •  wants to be like Oregon so bad they are practically quacking on the court...  
  • Sorry America is closed today. I'm watching  (from Barack Obama)
  • Mitt Romney: "There's a state in America called Murray? The Jews really ARE taking over."  
  • Evidently Mitt Romney tried to fill out an NCAA bracket but he couldn't finish it. He kept flip flopping between every choice. 
  • The Kardashian family will be scouting the NCAA Tournament for future black men to steal from. 
  • Ya Murray State. Always believed in ya. I have no idea who plays for you, who is murray, and what state you're in.  
  • Hear that sound? That was America's productivity completing nose-diving for the next 24+ work hours...

One of the best rainbows I've ever seen. The only thing better than this rainbow would be a double rainbow.

Best Superbowl, Puppy Bowl and Commercial Tweets

It's Super Sunday! Our last best football tweets until September sadly. I'm going to break this up into three sections, the best Super Bowl tweets, the best Super Bowl commercial tweets, and (for you ladies) the bes Puppy Bowl Tweets!

Best Superbowl Tweets

  • Lucas Stadium represents "tails" because the Colts played like ass this year.
  • Eli's doing well, but still hasn't scored as many points for the Giants as Brady. 
  • Sometimes I have to use oxygen after I do something at my job, too. 
  • Tom Brady's hail Mary was intercepted because he's not Tim Tebow. 


Best Superbowl commercial Tweets:

  • This Pepsi commercial is almost as bad as that Tom Brady pass.
  • Hyundai had a ton of extras in that commercial. I wonder if they got them from an unemployment line at a plant closing.
  • 20 mins in and ZERO talking animal commercials?? WTF?? 
  • Hey can you back up the DVR for that commercial? I missed the unnecessary long hashtag I'll never use to say I watched it. 
  • These Superbowl commercials are playing like The Patriots. 
  • Watching these  commercials and realizing, sadly, that this is the closest the Bears are getting to the 
  • These commercials are all lacking some Ryan Gosling.  
  • "Life is packed with things you gotta do. Like sometimes you gotta do  commercials purely for money." - Matthew Broderick


Best Puppy Bowl Tweets:


  • My dog is home by herself, so my wife left the Puppy Bowl on for her. Seriously, that is what's happening in my home right now.
  • I hope the puppies get big fat bonuses too. 
  • Confident it's spelled "ruffing" in the  script.
  • It's too bad that the MVP (Most Valuable Pup) of the puppy bowl can't be in tomorrows parade at Magic Kingdom. 
  • Puppy Bowl is all fun and games until someone gets drafted by Michael Vick. 
  • These are some really talented puppies this year. Not one of them has pooped on the field.

Omega Tau Podcast Interview

I was recently interviewed on the Omega Tau podcast (science and engineering in your headphones) talking about what (what else) roller coasters! Thankfully, it was per-recorded and edited and not a live show! Definitely need more practice at the whole interviewing thing. Take a listen to the show here.

Blog Status Monthly Report: January 2012

My online income blog, My Make Money Mission, is failing horribly so I thought I would post my monthly blog update here for a change, until I figure out what to do with that site (keep it or blow it up). Right now I am currently using five primary methods to monetize my blogs. Here is the list of my five income sources and how much they made for the month of January, 2012:

Adsense: $57.97
Kontera: $44.03
Amazon: $2.72
Inbox Dollars: $1.38
Share Cash: $81.05

Total: $187.15

Not a fortune but it will help pay some bills. Click on the links to start monetizing your blog today.

Share Cash is doing awesome based on all the downloads of my Super Bowl square spreadsheet. In fact, my Excel spreadsheets help blog got almost 27,000 unique visitors last month! (Anyone want to pay for advertising on it?) I've been trying to get better at time management and profit maximization by deleting low traffic / low income blogs and focusing more time and energy on my successful blogs to make them even better.

I'll write a separate post later about my foray into self-publishing. Interesting enough, I think my paperback books sales are surpassing my ebook sales. More on that later.
