We Heart Twaggies

Can I sleep my way to the top of Twitter like in real life? - @monikkab

What happens when you combine hilarious tweets with a few talented, and a few, well, motivated artists? Hilarity ensues. The result is Twaggies, a ridiculously funny site that brings twitter posts to life, because "who doesn't like a visual?" We spent the better part of an hour laughing out loud to corresponding "twags" to such tweets as "Ummmm. I shit you not THERE IS A PEACOCK in my front yard!!!! What do I do? - @Alyssa_Milano" and "Looking at this Philip's head screwdriver makes me wonder what the hell Philip looked like. - @JeeNeeBee" They seem to have upgraded their art department as of late, however. We feel the early crude sketches sometimes add to the comedy and charm of the older posts.

A few of our favorites are featured after the jump.

Southwest: The Chicken Bus of the Sky. - @xenijardin

This is especially true of flights connecting Los Angeles to Las Vegas and Houston to New Orleans. On one such trip the flight attendant apathetically abandoned the "A-B-C" seating method in mid sentence, possibly overcome by the stench of bourbon emanating from the unruly hoard, and passengers rushed to board the plane like it was the last lifeboat on the Titanic.
