Man, I've looked more than 20 times at the spelling of this fake account Twitter handle and the real one and I still don't see the difference...

Thanks. Actually what confused me further was that separate from the single N handle which is the culprit here, I honestly see two identical looking search hits for the real one, and I thought one of those was the culprit. It doesn?t help that he's not verified for some reason.

Checking follower count is usually the easiest/quickest way to go if something doesn't smell right.

Oh, of course. But with Matheson, I mean, nothing ever smells right. The other Matheson impersonator that confused me has a capital i instead of lower case l at the end.

I blame whoever it is that I follow that got duped in the first place. I'm a secondary dupee!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Oh it was a terrific fake post.

Love this coinage.  Also reusable in this joke:

"What did the urinal say to the man who just had 6 beers?"

Just an elite tweet, right here

Pardon my naivety here - but what is that? Parody? Something Eichel actually posted?

It's parodying posts from the AmItheAsshole subreddit. If you're familiar with that particular corner of the internet, it's kinda funny.

Thx that helps!

The spelling is too good though.

Seriously, though. Who reads this and thinks anything other than "Mackinnon sounds like a jerk"? Like, I get if he had a bunch of cup rings and feels like that's the only way to make it happen but as is?

 

[herman]

I think he's overpaying his chef

I just feel so lied to from a guy who endorsed Tim Horton's. He probably spent the commercial shoot knocking donuts out of Sid Crosby's hands.

 

[Bullfrog]

It's really awkward when he chaperones his teammates on dates.

 

[Frank E]

He must be a lot of fun at team parties.

The comparison to Jordan is a weird one. Jordan would go relentlessly after his teammates in practice. Call them soft. Be hypercompetitive. He was a jerk, sure, but it was in the context of playing the game for the most part. He wasn't like "You're not allowed to eat lasagna".

I wish I could just shift a 1/4 million, just to properly submit paperwork.

Feel free to shift a 1/4 million onto my salary any time and I?ll help out with the math.

Phil's dad sounds like Nate

In fairness that was because he was away gambling wheneveever he wasn?t playing/practicing.  Hard to be the flour pasta nazi when you aren?t there to police the cafeteria
