A few years back, SNL used to have these "Deep Thoughts" skits that featured a man saying something really odd in a very calm and meditative voice.
For some reason, many Twitter comments give me the same sense of disconnect. Can't you imagine the following read in that murmuring, reassuring Deep Thoughts voice?
"A wasp just committed suicide in my scrambled eggs."
Better yet, however, is to imagine everyone's tweets read by William Shatner as free verse beat poetry:

Now I'm going to be channelling Shatner when I read those things. I bet you could have fun with an Andy Rooney style: "You ever wonder...(read tweet)..."
But Shatner grates on my last nerve.
I too would have offered the rest of my on-air time to The Shatner. OMG, I enjoyed that a bit too much. ROFL
Writtenwyrdd: I think many things could be more fun if you imagine them in Shatner's voice. Twitter feeds, presidential addresses, IRS audits...
Travis: BLASPHEMY!!! Next thing you'll be telling me you don't like spinach omelettes.
Stephe: Me too! I found the bass and bongo in the background really took it to another artistic level. *snaps fingers, beatnik-style*
I just finally got the chance to watch the video. So funny!
