Censor and ship and lawn and darts...

You're kidding, right, Twitter? Seriously? Alright, darlings, get this:

I sent a tweet that said an old friend would be coming over this weekend for martinis and horror flicks, and that he was threatening to bring lawn darts. Clicked send in Hoot Suite.

Where did it go?

Hm. Tried again. It still didn't show up.

So, I wrote "lawn darts" as "lawn and darts", and up it went. But, you know, I've been a little unwell lately, so I got snarky. I'm prone to the snark, I'll admit, so I jotted off something about "censoring PITA's". I didn't even write out "pain in the ass" (or asses), I just said "censoring PITA's". It did not make it past whatever power.

So, evidently, one can't say anything about censorship and lawn darts on Twitter? Is this some bizarre glitch? I really hope so. You can swear, but you can't say "lawn dart" or "censoring"? Or is it "PITA" that's not allowed? Heaven forbid someone spell out "PC" phonetically. Or "too PC" - that would probably have alarm bells sounding for days. (Think about it. It smacks too much of sandbox humor for me to actually write it out.)

My head. It hurts.
