Denis Leary (denisleary) on Twitter

Funny Site of the Day -- Look who's Tweeting: The "Actor. Comedian. Five time Emmy Award loser."

The star of TV's "Rescue Me" and raucous stand-up comic jots jokes and comments regularly about pop culture and world events. Some are explicit and you don't need a Twitter account to observe.

Sh*t My Dad Says

Funny Site of the Day -- Twitter writer Justin says "I'm 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down sh*t that he says."

Yep, and it is, as his dad might say, accompanied by a string of expletives, a doozy. Hold on to something because these quotations are explicit -- and so popular there's a book in print and a TV comedy series in the works.

A Twitter membership is not necessary to see this sh*t.

Fake AP Stylebook

Funny Site of the Day -- Way back, when I was in Journalism school, during those antiquated days where we were taught to be adamantly objective in our reporting-- Oh! How dear and quaint we were in ye olde-fashioned times!

Anyway, we were also taught style. Proper journalism style includes chain-smoking cigarettes, swigging gin, and following the rules of grammar as depicted in either the UPI or AP Stylebooks. I've consulted both over the years, but they cost money and gin ain't cheap.

Thanks to the Fake AP Stylebook, hosted by Twitter, a steady flow of the dictates, which do change in contemporary circumstances, are presented for free. Ta ta, Associated Press.

Readers do not have to be active Twitter followers to access the instructional material, but I find it helpful to have those valuable tweets sent directly to me. My writing has improved exponentially with the Fake AP's tips and guidance, such as:

• The word "asshat" is vulgar and should be avoided. Use "butt bonnet."
  
  
• Gary Coleman doing something crazy is not news. That's just a Tuesday.
  
  
• "Weather Bureau" is no longer in use. Instead, use "National Weather Service" or "Those Freakin' Liars."
  
  
• Be sure not to confuse "aural" and "oral." The former is very uncomfortable.
  
  
• You know what? F**k it, just add "'s" to everything.
  
  

Some material contains explicit language, but you want to learn, don't you?
