Is this bicycle racing or the UFC? On 3:18 PM May 9th 2010 from TwitBird iPhone

But I’ve seen bike racing… and I’ve seen UFC… and the two should never be compared.

Noticed this on Twitter…

JIMP: yet another webbreviation I will get no credit for. @RyanLoco On 9:45 PM Apr 20th 2010 from TwitBird iPhone

Mayhem’s a creative and funny guy, so I wanted to help him out with his cause.

Well here’s his original use of JIMPs.

I’m not going to spell it out for you… but each time you use it the phrase — or perform the act — please think of Mayhem Miller.  I know I will.

No actually.  I’ll be thinking of Arianny Celeste.

There is a midget(little person) here trying out for TUF.... I hope he makes it!!!!! On 7:03 PM Apr 1st 2010 from UberTwitter

Maybe I expect too much thought in tweets… but why use the offensive term, which is completely unambiguous– Then follow it up with the politically correct term, thereby signifying you realize you used the offensiver term.

I don’t know. At least Jeremy gave the fighter some credit…
