In case you missed it last week, I lost. Tyler and I had been racing to 1000 Twitter followers, and in the end he hit the thousand mark before I could even get to 800. Pathetic.
Do you know who his 1000th follower was? It was me. Because when you can’t beat em, you join em. So that’s what I did. In an act of pure class and grace, I became his 1000th follower, sealing my own defeat.
Tyler, on the other hand, wasn’t quiet as gracious, claiming that destroying me was the pinnacle of his existence to date.
Congrats to Tyler’s wife Amy and his kids for coming in second place to me! Your marriage and births, respectively, pale in comparison to his accumulating 1000 followers faster than I could. You must be proud.
And so, to bring closure to this whole embarrassment, I thought a press conference was in order. If you missed it on CNN and MSNBC yesterday, I have the video from it right here.

Congratulations Tyler. You win, you always do.

very gracious and dignified, Bryan. Way to set an example for all of us. I just returned from Tyler's victory party in which he rudely and arrogantly proclaimed that he is the greatest twitterer ever. It was pathetic.
Ev-
One chauffeuring from the Marta station and you've already switched allegiances? I'm hurt. You will not be invited to my next self-glorifying victory party.
Were those Rocky's sunglasses from Rocky III?
WOW! A 20% + margin of victory is am embarassment to say the least. But I feel confident that in time, you will recover. I will pray for you while you rebuild your self-worth.
Going with a lavender ensemble for the press conference was a very bold move on your part.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but since this is cyber-space and not real life, I'll go ahead and do it
I'm kind of glad this race is over. I was actually resisting following Tyler on Twitter because of this sense of "I heard about the race from Bryan first so I owe it to him to only follow him and help him out". I feel like I can now breathe a sigh of relief and follow whoever I want.
I got your back, though, Bryan. Don't forget that
