Did Eric the midget really die? I haven't listened in years but today I was listening to old ETM calls on youtube ("There goes Super Fly Snuka...ITS THE BAT") and all the comments said RIP Eric.... furious googling has me thinking it was a joke, but I seriously almost cried.

edit I laughed so hard I just reupped internet for 5 months

If there are 100,000 followers by cocktail hour I will get Beth drunk and take a picture of her in her thong.

fuuuuck, there are ninety thousand and it's four PM hope we get there, I wanna see this

Am I the only one who thinks this is a ploy by Howard to say on Monday, "I signed up for twitter on (whatever day it was) and I already have over 100,000 followers, you know I am # 1!!!!!"

No I think its going to cause a bunch of conversations to the tune of "Robin can you believe (insert name here) has (insert number more that Howard's) more followers then me?!!!!!!!!

Oh you guys should also go ahead and follow Bubba. He is close to 50,000 followers and when they hit it I am pretty sure he will post a steamy Heather picture.

Ya I have a few other things to add to the OP as well.

News about Carolla.
What seems to be the Sirius/XM standard of offering no money to anyone continues to bite them in the rear end.
They basically offered Adam zero to simulcast his show. Adam was on a local Cali radio show and talked about it.

Starts around the 9 minute mark. Also interesting stuff about Tim Sabian.

He did throw up some pics from a shoot that Beth did. She looks pretty ridiculous in them, especially for approaching 40.

He posted pics of Beth but they were a real let down. It was a bunch of her modelling pics, about as erotic as looking at a SEARS ad. Bubba's candid shots of his wife's rear end are a million times better.

I feel like a basement dwelling creep now, thanks Howard Stern megathread,

"Pay? He should be grateful for the boost that we give him!"

They pay Riley more than Adam Carolla. Holy poo poo.

Awesome. I heard he quit calling the show though. I haven't listened since at least 8 months before Artie tried to kill himself, can't wait to hear how it is has changed, although my favorite part (ETM calling, Artie breaking his balls) obviously won't happen anymore :(

Seriously, Crotch Bat is right, quit all the Eric is still alive poo poo. It's great that he out lived the doctors diagnosis, but keeping him "alive" for the sake of a joke is just sick.

Your mommy kills animals! I bet you didn't know that.
List, because I'm tired:

-Howard was great on Letterman. A+. Real emotion, friendly ribbing, relaxed, funny, and not one but two actual handshakes (I assume the Purell was backstage.)

-I too was disappointed when I learned that the @erictheactor Twitter was not legit, but the guy is so good at lampooning Eric that it's definitely worth a follow.

-Two things about Howard on Twitter: a) I'm shocked at how quickly he's adapted to it and that he seems to know what he's doing and how to use it (I wonder who coached him before he got it rolling). b) I am more shocked that @HowardStern was not already taken.

-Here is a list of all the Twitter accounts posted thus far. Notable omissions: Mad Doctor Cthulhu and...uh...actually just the Mad Dr. Come on now! I need your crazy conspiracy theories tweeted at me on a regular basis, dude!

Mine is @DonSaf. I mostly just follow and reply to people who will never see what I'm saying to them, but if you scratch my back yadda yadda. Anyway, here's the list:

You think I can be limited to 140 characters for my conspiracy theories?

But seriously, I have nothing to Twitter about. I'm glad Howard found himself on it, but I'm too loving verbose.

I'm all about meeting girls. I'm all about meeting guys.
My Twitter account is @leftnode but it's mainly about software :)

I'll be interested to see what Howard thinks on Monday about using Twitter. It definitely fits him better than Facebook.

He gets it because it's just a place to write down your inane thoughts, post pictures, etc.

I think someone registered @HowardStern a long time ago specifically so they could be the person to give him the name if he ever got on. If you search for "howard stern" on Twitter, there's a bunch of accounts like "theRealHoward" and "howardThe_Real" and what not. Each of their About Me section is like "contact me@address.com if you're really Howard and want to claim this account."

It means he understands how to use it to just dump random thoughts and have public chats with people. Some try to always have awesome one-liners constantly, or exclusively use it for promotion.

Robin's a perfect example of someone who doesn't get it- http://twitter.com/#!/rqui

Restating the same thing several times, boring promotions, and responding to people without retweeting so it's out of context and useless. Just scroll down her page and scroll down Howard's, that's why he gets it and she doesn't.

That would have been a great quote Robin if it was a) 1996 and b) Letterman was still on NBC.

Yep. Nothing confusing at all to a newly adopted animal like calling it something different then what it's been called it's whole life.

I actually think that Robin's twitter isn't half bad. She always has some good one liners on the show. It's only when you are exposed to long doses of her that you realize how annoying and far gone she really is.

It's just bad in a technical sense. Redundant, and she refuses to copypaste the tweets she's responding too. And the promotion.
