    From John Henderson of the Denver Post:

    @JohnHendersonDP: That was fun. First time I've gotten horny covering the

    What's the context? Who's he answering or what's he talking about?

    I would've used a hip 80s phrase like "got sprung." All the mod slackers would be scratching their noggins.

    I want to know what the hell he was covering. (Beach volleyball, I'm betting.)

    Knowing a little bit about the Tweeter, this does not surprise me.

    If I was guessing, some sort of swimming. Don't they take off at a horn? Not sure, haven't watched swimming in 10 years.

    Considering he wrote about a 16-year-old girl 12 hours ago, I think he may have some splainin' to do.

    Looking at his feed again, it looks like a DM that accidentally went public.
