A New Feature About BRB's Favorite Wordsmith
If we know anything about Jakespeare (a/k/a Jacoby Jones), it is that he is an erudite man of letters. He transcends preconceived notions of grammar, syntax, and punctuation, and, in so doing, he creates something new that almost defies description. Not to put too fine a point on it, but JJ's works read like someone found a dog who could speak fluent Farsi and made that dog write solely in English.
To celebrate the awesomeness that is JJ, we're launching a new feature --- Jakespeare's Fuh Real Tweet O' Da Last Few Days Dat Make U Say "LMAO Dog!" The concept is simple enough that I assume it needs no explanation. So, with no further ado, let's light this candle.
To quote a slightly-less-famous poet, "brevity is the soul of wit." But in the world of Twitter's Draconian character limits, brevity is the name of the game1; you have to do something other than be succinct if you want to stand out. JJ realizes this and goes next level with a Tweet that manages in only two words to both inform us --- he apparently has a platter of something and is very thrilled about it --- and raise some questions --- a platter of what? Where does one get a platter of anything at 3:26 on a Sunday morning? Is that what it sounds like when Lil' Jon orders dinner?
Even JJ's punctuation, which abides by a set of Jakespearean rules that you could not possibly comprehend, adds to the brilliance. Three-dot ellipses? Please, those are for amateurs. JJ uses FIVE periods and creates an added sense of drama. The reader knows JJ has a platter and the extra two periods make you wait that much longer before you find out whether he likes it. Sheer, unadulterated genius.
Even better, you can use this Tweet in your daily life whenever something pleases you. For instance, BFD might say "Fleshlight .....yyyyyeeeaaa!!!" the next time he's home alone. Or Kerns could yell "Fourteen .....yyyyyeeeaaa!!!" when asked how many blogs he writes for. The possibilities are truly endless.
1 Which explains why Twitter and I have never really become close friends.

A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

The image I took away
From this post was of Jakespeare as Rumi the Dog. Which is hilarious.
Possible Interpretation
“Platter” is a strip club none of us are informed and/or cool enough to know about.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Strangely enough
That would make SO much more sense.

i seriously lol’d
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

I really think he has a future as a stripper.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Aj looks like he's thinking twice about slapping 5
The rest are mentally taking notes of the “hot movez”.
You gave me an idea.
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
We should all come up with a caption for this photo.

He's auditioning for DWTS.
Look at how awestruck everyone is at JJ’s moves.

Jacoby approves this message.
Maybe he means the seafood platter at Pappadeaux. I hear he likes that place.
Jacoby is my ghostwriter.

"Platter .....yyyyyeeeaaa!!!"
very Kramer-like
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
I think Kramer is more stacatto

runs to look up the meaning of stacatto...

Yes - a form of musical articulation, signifying an unconnected note, which is short and detached.
That is a great description. Awesome!

actually, I was thinking that might be a great description of Jakespeare

There is also a hint of contemporary social criticism
“Lets go swimming in the oil spill in the gulf tomorrow yall”
It's hard bein whimpy
And scientific theory
“Pressure bust pipes….”
It's hard bein whimpy
And of course philosophy
“whats money? …..papper…were do papper come from?”
It's hard bein whimpy
