    Say what?

    Also:

    I no longer believe it's actually written by him.

    I take it back, I had no idea Hornswoggle was a leprechaun little person WWE character. Jesus.

    Excuse me, but I had to correct you.
    I think you mean

    As for whether or not this is actually the Iron Sheik, I think he perhaps dictates.

    There were a number of technical concerns involved in the SpaceJump, none of which Sheikie was involved with in assessing.

    No idea what he is talking about apart from Big Tex. None.

    The Iron Sheik did not tweet on October 20th, presumably because it is Snoop Dogg's birthday.

    Things I am not sure of:
    1. Did Sheikie like McGovern
    2. Did he mean that McGovern literally would eat a Waffle House or did he just forget an 'at'
    3. If the former, does this reflect positively or negatively upon McGovern's person

    Mitt Romney is worse than Big Bird, but what does that mean? This tweet is somewhat meaningless without the context of how much Big Bird can go fuck himself. Dearest Sheikie, it is simply not as self-evident as it is in "worse than the Mel Gibson" or "worse than the Jose Canseco".

    Some mystery of the human brain made me want a remake of Impossible Mission with Sheik as the voice of the bad guy after reading this tweet.

    Sheikie, that's offensive. Mitt Romney would never exchange anything for Christmas, it's supposed to be about Jesus and his birth and his continued life on the Planet Kolob, at the center of the galaxy, or perhaps the metagalactic center of the universe, or even just orbiting Polaris.

    I have never seen this particular Mickey Mouse movie, but I trust Braff's instincts as an actor and I think he'll bring a lot to the role, however minor it might be.

    It'd be a better subtitle than "The Phantom Menace", that's for sure.

    3 Nov 12: Sheik had two tweets, and neither of them were up to the high standards of this historical record.

    This one's a little inscrutable. Sheikie does not want Romney to win, because in an earlier tweet he said he'd shave his mustache if that happened and we all know that can't happen. This, though. Is he trying to get some upside? How exactly would this be achieved in the first place? Thank you, Sheik, for making us think.

    This is probably some basketball player but I like to imagine that Sheik has been hauling some beepboopbeep around with him for over 30 years and only just now decided he's through challenging his keen mind's ability to chunk sequences.

    Only tweet for 10 Nov 12 was an exhortation to buy a t-shirt. The second, usual option was of course presented as well.

    For some reason the tweets are not showing up for me, giving the impression that Matthew Gallant is insane and having conversations with himself.

    This has improved the thread.

    Yeah, they've stopped showing up for me as well.

    I'm pretty sure the only way anybody could make Mick Foley cry with any finger is to use it to start a sad movie about Christmas, but OK.

    Sheikie had been pretty harsh on the Kevin Clash but now that he's been exonerated, is man enough to admit he was wrong. But he also reminds you that he can make a good call, too.
