As the two (three?) people who read this blog know, Twitter is a micro-blogging service that limits posts to 140 characters.  This character limitation encourages conciseness on the part of the writer, creating snapshots of their day-to-day life.  Now, in the spirit of the idea that nothing is sacred, I want to take the beautiful idea of Twitter and explode it.  I present to you Twitter Obfuscation, a game you can play where the goal is to be as verbose as possible in only 140 characters.  A contestant begins with 140 points.  One point is subtracted for each character under 140 used (and, no, you can’t just pad your entry with spaces).  Another 40 points will be subtracted for actually making a point.  Each word over eight letters long adds two points to the total, and any words over twelve letters long add five points.  So break out your cellphone and dictionary, and challenge your friends to a game of Twitter Obfuscation!

Apparently Pashto is a language well suited for the Internet.  Check out these smilies!
