"A fella could have himself a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff"*

As a public service to the loyal readers of Lino Watch (all six of you or so), we are now syndicating the postings from Lino's newly-established Twitter account on this site. We've gone through great pains to place this important source of Lino information in a prominent location on the site… near the top of the right-hand column. Heck, we even had to push Gus Lloyd's blog feed down the page a bit to fit it in. A tough sacrifice for sure… but one we knew we had to make. At one point we were considering adding our own Twitter feed to the page. But now that Lino's posting his own material, why go through that much trouble when Lino can do all the work for us?

Fortunately, Lino's new-found Twittering (or 'Tweet'-ing as manly-man Lino likes to put it) is already producing results. The photo above was taken by one of Lino's dining companions in Dallas on Saturday night, who himself got in a mild jab or two at Lino. We'll just let the photo speak for itself. We'll also let his very first Twitter post speak for itself as well.

* Said by Major T. J. "King" Kong (played by Slim Pickens) in the movie "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" as he goes over the contents of his survival kit. In the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination that took place in Dallas just two months before the film's release, the word "Vegas" was dubbed over "Dallas" in the final cut that made it to theaters.
