OK, I’m creating a little art project and I need your help.
If you have one, please let me know what your FAVORITE TWEET OF MINE is. By doing this you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win INvaluable merchandise, not to mention the deep satisfaction you’ll have in contributing to the arts.
On March 31st, I’ll pick 3 lucky winners who will receive a T-shirt, with their select tweet on it – PLUS, an advance copy of “That’s What I Said”. A book, by me, with funny stuff in it, with other funny stuff in it.
If you don’t have a favorite, but want to play along, check out the following to see if something tickles you.

Thanks for helping, I truly appreciate it! Peace
Send your favorite to ben@thebenbrooks.net, OR, just leave a reply with who you are!
Just heard that Bob Barker is a spay and neuter champion. Jesus, I didn’t even know there was a competition.
Did you ever wonder if your partner wasn’t doing house work to actually clean, but just to bug you?
A lot of favorites but the following made me cry:
I just saw some graffiti that read, “Satin Rules!”. Now, either it’s a cult that can’t spell, or DISCO IS BACK BABY!!
If the girls of internet porn have taught me anything, it’s that spilt milk really isn’t something to cry over. Or under.
My daughter’s puppet show is loosing me. If there isn’t a car chase soon I’m outta here.
I love driving down the freeway in LA and seeing the snow up in the mountains, because IT CAN’T GET ME! NA NA NA, NA NA, NA!!
My friend is a suicidal underachiever. Yesterday he threw himself off a bridge.. table.

I believe a therapist could help my marriage. Especially if she does dishes.
OMG that was hard, there are so many good ones. But since you’re forcing me to pick my favorite, it has to be this:
“The smaller the dog, the crazier the chick”
Linda Ridenour
“Well officer, it wasn’t public urination until you started looking at me”
and it fits on a shirt
“I think I’m skeptical. But I doubt it.”
“I think my new neighbors are swingers. They just put out a mat that says, “We come!”
Cheers from Brazil!
Ben – deciding on a favorite from your most popular tweets on favstar.fm is difficult. Ideally, I’d have “I’ve taken some serious criticism for being an atheist. Ah well, we all have our cross to bear” on the front, and then, to counter the offended, I’d have “I do not have adult attention deficit disorder. I have adult what you’re saying is boring the shit out of me disorder.” All I’d have to do when anyone offended says something is turn around and walk away.
Since we have to decide on one though, I’ll go with the latter: “I do not have adult attention deficit disorder. I have adult what you’re saying is boring the shit out of me disorder.”
I look forward to winninig (or buying) your book to read. Best wishes. Keep up the great writing…

“Today’s guilt free Sunday is brought to you by Atheism™”
If I win, I will wear it every single Sunday.
Um, maybe if your would moderate, you would have more responses ; )
Love this one for the visual images it conjures up – like this is the least skanky thing in the room!
“It’s a veritable skank-off at this Hollywood Coffee Bean. Unless you’re showing up in a g-string, with Uggs over Uggs, don’t even bother.”
Every time I try to put the fun in fundamentalism, they put the me in jail. Jet Ski Jumpin For Jesus!
It was a tough call. But this one struck a personal chord. Thanks for cracking me up daily!
My neighbor is goddamn crackerjacks and I’m goddamn tired of it. She wants to live in TOTAL SILENCE and I have no legal way of helping her.
Okay, I’m an idiot. I didn’t read your directions. I didn’t realize the tweet I picked earlier will be put on a t-shirt. So, if I did win one of your great t-shirts, I’d love to have this tweet instead:
I’d go read the news, but this ignorance is just so… blissy!!
These are probably too long for a T-shirt, but are my #1 and #2 tweets of yours:
“If I DID believe in god, she would have thigh-highs, a leather corset and I would be her chosen people.”
“I’ve outsourced the ‘being kind to others’ part of my life to India. It’s saving money and really letting me be me.”
Hilarious.
You had me at, “Looks like we’re the only two people on this island.”
I don’t know if it’s t-shirt appropriate, but this is the one that made me follow you:
So, this ‘One Laptop Per Child’ thing. Where do I drop off the child and where do I pick up the laptop?
and I love this one, too:
Sarah Palin says she’s irreverent. Oh, SO close Sarah! The word is ‘irrelevant’.
If I could have just one of your tweets on a shirt it’d be:
Thanks for trying to blow smoke up my ass, but I’m afraid it’s at maximum capacity.
Loving your work and looking forward to the book release.
Sarah.
