Who else is on Twitter? I am. Let me know if I should be stalking you there too. I hope I don't get too addicted to it that I start texting it too often.

I decided to go with the Thinkpad. The only downside is that it'll take three weeks to ship.

Hmm... It's 141 characters by my count. As for the three hyphens, they were put in by habit, not meant as troll bait. I tend to use three hyphens to represent an em-dash (—) when I'm too lazy to put a proper one in, or when I want to stick to ASCII.

Oh geez. Well done, well done indeed.

I ran the first two lines, but since they matched I never bothered to check the second two lines. Curse you and your equal number of double and single quotes both of which are just numerous enough to push it beyond the threshold.
