Twitter, and Three Word Monte

I'm starting to realize that Twitter is kind of like a modern, slower version of IRC. At least, the way I use it. I keep a window open on my desktop, and refer to it throughout the day. It's not all fun and games of course. I follow a great many SQL bloggers, most of whom are MVPs. Often, I'll be able to catch a training session with someone like Kevin Kline, Brent Ozar, or others, simply because they'll tweet that they're about to start. I've gotten several hours of training that way. If you're not already, follow me on Twitter, and check out my follow list. There's some great SQL content in there, as well as some other interesting people.

One fun thread that was on Twitter yesterday, among the SQL community, was what I ended up calling Three Word Monte. Paul Randal was sending people sets of three words, and they were to work those words into their next meeting. Later on, I think people work working them into single sentences, which I kind of think was less of a challenge.

Anyway: The words I got were "Scrumptious", "Warrior", and "Vampire". The first two were easy to come by.

1. Someone was occupying our conference room when we arrived. I responded with, "Don't make me go all 'conference room warrior' on you guys..."

2. I referred to someone as the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" of SharePoint administration. Pleasant to talk to, seems flighty on the surface (by her own admission), but ultimately deadly accurate, and good at what she does.

3. The last one was difficult, and was ultimately a 'gimme'. Earlier in the day, at another meeting, our boss was handing out leftover Easter candy. This was brought up again, and I described it as 'Scrumptious'. Yeah, I know - weak - but I was pressed for time. :-)

So, to anyone reading this thread - here's three for you. See what you can do, and report back in the comments, below, or on Twitter.

1. Currant

2. Portage
