I only joined Twitter to stalk celebrities and get them to Tweet me so my older daughter would think I’m cool… is that irony?… Now that I have managed to sucker… uh… lure… so many famous people into my collection, I will give you some tips so you can play this game too.
First, question that they really are who they say they are. Twitter has a system where they put a blue check mark by the real celebrities. Tell them you don’t see it. Famous people hate thinking they might not still be famous. That is how I first got Eric Idle to Tweet me.
Next, just keep typing clever stuff to them until they reply just to shut you the hell up. That worked with a few people. I got William Shatner that way.
But now that I have Dana Carvey following me on Twitter… yeah… you read that right… I have upped my game. I am now using Photoshop to impress the stars.
Right now I am stalking George Takei, Mr. Sulu from the original Star Trek. I just keep bombarding him with images. He will be assimilated…
Wiener roast in space…
See… that’s funny because he’s gay… oh, my! To boldly go where quite a few other men have gone before…
And always play to their egos.
So far I only have one of the Top Gear guys in my collection, but it is only a matter of time.
Wil Wheaton was in the second Star Trek series, and he is now on The Big Bang Theory… and he likes my book… yay~!
I am seriously going after Mr. Hugh Laurie. I like that guy. He did a comedy series with Stephen Fry back in the day called ‘A bit of Fry and Laurie. He was also doctor Greg House. My older daughter, Jessica, and I bonded over that show. This picture is funny because he was complaining about leaf blowers, and I switched House’s cane for one.
That one… there’s a long story… I guess Mr. Laurie is on an island somewhere and the water was so clear he swore he saw olives floating by… so… uh… yeah… how can he not end up Tweeting me… sooner or later.
Oh, my last idea is simple. Type a little comment into the text box… and remember, it has to be less than 140 letters… that says: ‘It would be faster to tweet me ‘hi’ than it would be to do the Twitter version of a restraining order’. Then cut, copy and paste that into every celebrity Twitter page you can find.
I hope this helps.
Pouring My Art Out 
I follow George Takei – I don’t remember how it happened by it did.
He will tweet me back… I am relentless.
Sheldon Cooper collects restraining orders from famous people. You guys have a lot in common. I don’t know if you watch the show.
I love that show. I am stalking the whole cast.
I am trying to imagine what happens when you meet Mr Sheldon Cooper. He’ll want to marry you, I suppose…
He will be jealous of my brain.
Can i suggest a game?. We set a weekly challenge and we name someone who you must get to follow you.
I like that. But it is a pretty hit or miss kind of a thing.
Maybe once a month then. Now who is likely to be an easy one to start off with…
I am working on Hugh Laurie, George Tekai and some people from the Big Bang Theory
Good choices. Tekai may be swayed with a saucy photo
Not so far.
He’s playing hard to get
Story of my life
I just realized that I know who Wil Wheaton is – I know him from Eureka.
I don’t know what that is.
It was a sci-fi TV show that ran between 2005 and 2011 or so, and is now on Netflix. it’s a humor + sci-fi, so you might like it, too.
Okay… he is also on the Big Bang Theory, and he was in Star Trek the Next Generation.
You’re nuts! Send them my way, I have two good causes!
I can’t do it all for you.
why not?
Lazy
It’s as if you read my mind. I was hoping to gain a few pointers. I was actually thinking about it before I went to bed…so hey, I was in bed and thinking about you. Nice. You can now make a list of not so famous people you’ve conquered!
um… Every time I see the picture of those feet I think of my favorite original quote…
Head over heels in love is nice, but the heels over head kind is even better…
