Owned by the Ragamuffin

I thought I would Twitter a witty, good hearted jab at one of my blog idols, Carlos Whittaker. After a day of reading quite a few Twitters from Los, I decided to see if he was really “listening” to my feed by twittering

“I think @loswhit is on a Twitter bender today.”

When I was growing up in the deep south, a bender was a drinking spree or

a period of time (preferably more than 24 hours) spent escaping life’s harsh realities (marriage, work etc). Consumption of alcohol and drugs is a must. ~ Urban Dictionary definition #4

In other words, Carlos was indulging quite a bit in his Twitter addiction. Evidently, “bender” also has other meanings. Very quickly, I discovered that I was at least on the fringe of the cool crowd. Carlos really was listening… and then he responded.

@pastorb007 …from urbandictionary.com 2. A homosexual male (British slang). Someone who is bent, that is, not straight.

I’m pretty sure I just got owned by the Ragamuffin himself. Now, I have mixed feelings. He actually listens to what is going on in my head (excitement) and I just publicly insulted him (horrified) only to be owned by the master himself (humbled).

My only hope is that my misplaced twitticism will not get me shunned at Unleashed. If I am a good enough blogger between now and then, they may still let me in Tony Morgan’s blogging breakout. But, they may make me sit in the back…

But, you know what. I’m on the Ragamuffin Soul home page. If for only a few hours.
