Finding it a little weird that @McDonalds is bringing the hamburglar back and he looks like my twin #onlyroomforone http://t.co/PWlK9hGwJC

You flirting with me? “@McDonalds: @andrewhammond30 …given today’s chatter we think the Internet could use at least two hot Hamburglars.”

2. The dinner conversation at Michael T. Babcock‘s house must be incredible these days:

Stop tweeting @mikebabcock about hockey. He is not the coach of @MapleLeafs nor is he the coach of any other team. He is just my dad.
