The Only Good Twitter Accounts are Fake Twitter Accounts

I don't know about you, but I've always found the parody twitter accounts much more entertaining than any real twitter accounts. In that end, I give you the musings of Dick Balenzano, a parody of me, Rick Valenzano.

Dick Balenzano is the creation of Joe Buscemi, who decided to create a character loosely based on me. He initially had it under my name, but I decided to rename the character "Dick Balenzano" since I am hoping that people will be googling for my actual name as a way to find my research, and I do not want them to get confused.

I have contributed from time to time, but I try to write as the character, not as myself. You should be able to tell which tweets are mine (there are very few of them), and which are Joe's since mine of are almost uniformly of lower quality. It turns out it is very difficult to write as a parody of yourself.

Any way, check out the thoughts of Dick Balenzano.  I suspect that if you know me you will be entertained.
