Or favourite, as we spell it in the Great White North.
On twitter I spend most of my time giving out gold stars to my favourite tweets. I’d like to share some of them here. In order to get one of these coveted stars, for me, a tweet must fall into one of several categories…
Funny:

Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy cover leaked online this week – I hope 2 christ that’s the only part of her that’s leaking.

What you say obviously contains many kernels of truth, but that’s only because they tend to pass through you undigested.
@watermelon_manDavid Horton
If you have already named your baby and then find the name isn’t in the top ten most popular for year should you change it? Well, obviously!
@DaanandoD. Olly
If current trends continue, you’re all going to die! 🙁

I’m thinking of making a mistletoe belt for Xmas.

I just rang Alcohol Concern. Told them I was worried I didn’t have enough beer in the fridge. They’re quite rude, aren’t they?
@rickygervaisRicky Gervais
Karl asked me once if the presents the 3 wise men gave the baby Jesus were for his birthday or christmas.

Amnesia patients. Who do you think you are?

Hangover pill. Does it cure everything or do we need separate pills for the shame, guilt and STDs?
@serialmatrixserialmatrix
My new party trick is to swallow two pieces of string and an hour later they come out of my arse tied together…Seriously. I shit you knot.

You’d be surprised how “accidentally” drowning a baby really cuts down on people asking you to baptize them. Looking at you John.

I think it’s safe to say Schrödinger was probably a dog person.
@moronwatchMoronWatch
Morons tell me we can’t cut “defence” spending because it supports millions of jobs. On that basis, child prostitution would be a good idea
@Great_PlainsApeAndrew
Whenever a theist accuses me of ‘believing in nothing’ I simply laugh, because they too believe in nothing, they just don’t realize it.

American society applauds sexually active men no matter what the age (Viagra) and punishes women–especially when practicing responsible sex
@MinouChatteAmanda ♥
Kids can pray in school…it’s what the moment of silence is for…but schools can’t dictate everyone follow Christianity!

Seeing #atheism as a movement, with rules, leaders, and world domination as its goal, mirrors a typically narrow religious world view.
@HarrietThugmanNelliot Spitzer 🙂
Every gay person should call in gay for work at least once a month. Hey, its a fucking “sickness”, right?
@YvettesPuzzleYvette
Christian groups don’t seem to realise that they promote pornography/explicit content on TV channels by publicly complaining about it
@misserinlynnxErin
Dear Kim Kardashian, Your entire wedding could have paid for my college education for 25465 years….
@DAbittyDee
To deny true & historical realities of poverty, unemployment and incarceration rates for the African American population… That’s racism!

The day ProLife takes back saying women who are raped are damaged goods I’ll take them seriously
The name-calling says more about the person’s attitude and gender bias toward sex than anything else. Only women are sluts. Really.
@eeeegadseeeegads
Saying women are unqualified to make her own reproductive choices, but she is qualified to be parent/incubator. Hypocrisy
@JesusWifeMrs. Christ
My hubby thinks it’s hilarious to say to me, “Onward, ho!” I think it would be hilarious to make him sleep on the couch.

Female Genital Mutilation is practiced among Bohra Muslims in parts of India & Pakistan. FGM is torture, not culture. Ban #FGM.

Bible once was used to persecute witches and Negroes. Fortunately, women and black people fought for rights. Now Atheists remain to target.

The Holy Bible. Providing an excuse for hatred and persecution for nearly 2000 years.

A big thank you to all of you who make the hours I spend on Twitter so much fun and so addictive.
I wish you would have picked a better Chelsea Handler quote, that one really bothered me for some reason…
I like many of your choices, but I have to admit, the atheists are wearing on me. I grow tired of the rehashing of the same old arguments again and again. I just don’t find beating a dead horse interesting. The same goes for baiting the christians, I just don’t see the point.
You were one of the first that followed me/ I followed on the tweety and you’re still one of my favourites. (Maybe my favourite, but that sounds corny, so I’m not going to say that)
