Justin’s Old Man Rocks

Once upon a time there was the internet. And on that internet there was twitter. And on that twitter there was Justin. And Justin had an old man. And the old man did speak down from upon high.

Here are ten of my favourite quotes from Justin’s twitter feed:

“I just want silence. Jesus, it doesn’t mean I don’t like you. It just means right now, I like silence more.”    8:30 AM Dec 4th   from web

“I don’t need more friends. You got friends and all they do is ask you to help them move. Fuck that. I’m old. I’m through moving shit.”    4:00 AM Nov 17th   from web

“Son, no one gives a shit about all the things your cell phone does. You didn’t invent it, you just bought it. Anybody can do that.”    3:40 AM Nov 5th   from web

“Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it.”    1:44 AM Nov 2nd   from web

“The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain’t like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain’t spitting it out.”    1:51 AM Oct 23rd   from web

“Happy birthday, I didn’t get you a present…Oh, mom got you one? Well, that’s from me then too, unless it’s shitty.”    1:52 AM Sep 15th   from web

“I turn the kitchen faucet on and the shower burns you, yes, I get it…No, I’m not gonna stop, I’m just saying yes, I get that concept.”    12:54 AM Sep 12th   from web

“You touched that god damned biscuit. Bullshit, I saw you touch it….I don’t give a shit about your evidence, this isn’t a court of law.”    6:01 AM Sep 4th   from web

“The dog don’t like you planting stuff there. It’s his backyard. If you’re the only one who shits in something, you own it. Remember that.”    1:33 AM Aug 27th   from web

Why would i want to check a voicemail on my cell phone? People want to talk to me, call again. If i want to talk to you, I’ll answer.    1:33 AM Aug 8th   from web

Oh, yeah. Happy New Year.
