Larry King Now host and suspenders god Larry King is very active on Twitter. In fact, he reached his 10,000th tweet today (congrats!).
But King is an 81-year-old dude, and thus often tweets about 81-year-old dude stuff. For example:
That makes it even funnier that the Washington Post's Style Blog revealed his incredible, old-dude method for tweeting, or as he told the Post, "I Twitter every day."
From the blog:
When Larry King wants to tweet, he doesn’t log onto the Internet. He pops open the flip phone stored in the shirt pocket between his suspender straps and calls the number for a voicemail set up specifically for this purpose. Then he dictates a thought that will be picked up by an assistant and transcribed onto his @KingsThings Twitter account. And nearly 2.6 million followers are there to receive it.
So many questions! Does he actually say "hashtag" when he leaves a message? What if he wants to attach a picture? Does he just describe it? What about when he goes on a Twitter rant and talks about his wife being a hooker? Does he cut off each message at 140 characters? Does his assistant have to wake up in the middle of the night to tweet? And who is this hero assistant? Somebody find that guy!
