*Twit­terati - as defined by the Urban Dic­tio­nary: The Tweet elite, whose feeds attract thou­sands of fol­low­ers and whose 140-character spews cap­ture the atten­tion of the rapt who doggedly mon­i­tor them.

*Twit­terati — as defined by PCMag.com: The Twit­ter upper crust. The tweet writ­ers who have thou­sands of followers.

Now that you’re famil­iar with the term Twit­terati (in case you weren’t already), I can go on and tell you about 29 year old Justin Halpern aka @shitmydadsays — the Twit­terati whose claim to fame is the funny shit his 74 year old dad says — that he (Justin) one day intel­li­gently decided to start tweet­ing. Today, Justin boasts over 1.1 mil­lion avid Twit­ter fol­low­ers who anx­iously wait for ‘Papa Halpern’ to open his mouth! And if that’s not impres­sive enough, he’s also been fea­tured in numer­ous arti­cles and inter­viewed by the well known online mag­a­zine, Maxim.com.

But the biggest bang is yet to come. His immensely pop­u­lar twit­ter account is about to be turned into a TV sit­com with William Shat­ner [Denny Crane from “Boston Legal”] star­ring as ‘the larger-than-life dad who speaks his mind.’ WOW, a pretty amaz­ing accom­plish­ment for a 29 year old guy who lives at home with his par­ents! So folks, if you’ve been striv­ing to accu­mu­late Twit­ter fol­low­ers, become famous and suc­ceed by work­ing hard every­day, why keep sweat­ing? Instead, find a wickedly funny fam­ily mem­ber or friend whose com­ments you can regur­gi­tate on Twit­ter, Face­book, Digg and all the other social sites out there.

But seri­ously though, well done Justin! Awe­some idea, amaz­ing dad and some insanely funny shit! You just gained another fol­lower (Moi) on your gigan­tic list .

And to show you just how hys­ter­i­cal some of these com­ments are, here are a few.

“Nah, we don’t cel­e­brate it. Don’t know who St. Valen­tine was, don’t give a shit, and doubt he wants peo­ple screw­ing in his memory.”

“STOP apol­o­giz­ing. You’re sorry, he gets it, Jesus. You spilled a glass of wine, not fucked his wife.”

“Everybody’s broke, so here’s the rule for Christ­mas this year; if you still shit your pants, you get a present. Oth­er­wise tough shit.”

“Son, no one gives a shit about all the things your cell phone does. You didn’t invent it, you just bought it. Any­body can do that.”

“Jesus Christ, Just give the dog his fuck­ing food. Why’s he gotta do a trick first? YOU don’t have to do shit before YOU eat.”

“Ten­nessee is nice. The first time I vom­ited was in ten­nessee, I think.”

“Here’s a straw­berry, sorry for fart­ing near you…Hey! Either take the straw­berry and stop bitch­ing, or no straw­berry, that’s the deal.”

“Your brother brought his baby over this morn­ing. He told me it could stand. It couldn’t stand for shit. Just sat there. Big let down.”

For more of these sidesplit­ting state­ments, fol­low @shitmydadsays on Twitter!
