#FollowFriday: Brian Vickery

Hey Gini,

After reading Brian's sports posts all this time I had to hear it from you Gini that Brian is a Dallas Cowboys Fan. How could I not know this? I figured it out. He has become such a Broncos fan and so smitten with the Manning crowd its all we hear about ;) Gini, I think you really captured the essence of Brian. As my wonderful Mom used to say about me, he wears his heart on his sleeve, and I am glad he does. What a wonderful family man he is and a brilliant writer. Happy Birthday Brian!

@amymcctobin @SpinSucks Back from about 3 days of celebrating birthdays, and gotta say thanks Amy. I try to be one of the good guys...

@BeckyGaylord @shonali @ginidietrich Thanks, Becky - that was a birthday present I didn't see coming - and youngest turned 18 yesterday!

Thanks, Shonali - I've enjoyed the SpinSucks flair in the comments, too! @shonali @ginidietrich

@BeckyGaylord LOL!!

Hey @dbvickery another Valentines's baby! Me too. I feel you brother. Being surrounded by women is not so bad, right?

@OneJillian @lisa_catto Thanks, Jillian - and it was great to see you on #cmgrhangout today - Gini was awesome with the #FollowFriday today

@adamtoporek @ginidietrich Thx for leaving a comment on the SpinSucks post too, Adam - Great meeting you, and let's stay on Gini's good side

@amymcctobin @SpinSucks And I have a badge and everything...courtesy of @kmueller62 - still waiting for my free shopping cart.

@amymcctobin @SpinSucks Follow the Grumpy Cat Heckler!

@mainwilk @ginidietrich Think Gini just liked meeting a short, introverted Texan after talking with that big Chicagoan @seanmcginnis #FF

@barrettrossie @ginidietrich thanks, Barrett - and FYI, still waiting for Savvy's news from UVA and Univ of Chicago (and 5 others)

Thx Craig - I've enjoyed several of Gini's #FollowFriday pieces...never thought I'd be the subject of one, though @craigmcbreen @SpinSucks

As usual, I'm late to the party. Oh well. I learned two important things from this post.

(1) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, you big romantic guy, you!!  Born on Valentine's Day, that has to be a great omen!

(2) @ginidietrich is an introvert? Wow, social media really is a miracle!! 

You are an online hero and friend, Gini - because you are genuine, occasionally snarky, and insightful! Thx for #FF @ginidietrich @SpinSucks

@jocmbarnett Gini was awesome - I appreciate that SpinSucks community, and I love her Follow Friday series...didn't know I'd be a part of it

I finally got somebody to co-sign for me ;) Only had to become a grandfather, first! #FollowFriday @dabarlow @MatthewLiberty @ginidietrich

I must be "transparent" enough if Gini nailed my priorities so well - I appreciate her and SpinSucks #FF @matthewliberty @ginidietrich

I'll do Friday dance as long as nobody is posting to YouTube or Vine (I can throw out a hip in 6 sec) @ideabloke @ginidietrich @SpinSucks

And Brian hopes you rock the house at SXSW Erin (I love speaking in 3rd person) | @erinmfeldman @SpinSucks #FollowFriday

As always - the SpinSucks community comments are more than half the fun! | @howiegoldfarb @SpinSucks @ginidietrich #FollowFriday

Well, you two ladies help me toggle between Grumpy Cat and Happy Heckler - thanks to both of you for being YOU @margieclayman @ginidietrich

@belllindsay @SpinSucks You folks rock with your #FollowFriday. About that Franzia...

@gagasgarden Wow, high praise, Susan. Thank you...sometimes wearing that heart on the sleeve can get me into trouble. ;)

@dbvickery @SpinSucks I only posted that because I knew you wouldn't see it:)

Awesome, Brian! @dbvickery @shonali @ginidietrich

 @rdopping Just living the high life, my friend ;)

@dbvickery @SpinSucks @kmueller62 Ken is a badge pimp... we are his hookers.

@dbvickery Will @ginidietrich is cool like that ;) Grandpa, huh? @SpinSucks

 @barrettrossie You didn't know that? Totally. 

 @barrettrossie  @ginidietrich Yeah, if Gini is an introvert...I'm a recluse!

I have definitely played the Valentine's Day card...I love being born on Feb 14th, Barrett! I definitely used it to my advantage when proposing to my wife 25 years ago.

@dbvickery Just occasionally snarky?

@dbvickery LOL...a special co sign @dabarlow @ginidietrich #FollowFriday

@dbvickery @ideabloke @ginidietrich We can't make any promises...

@dbvickery Thank you! I hope I do, too. @SpinSucks

@dbvickery @SpinSucks @ginidietrich always every friday I wonder who I get to roast! @comedycentral should hire me!

Happy Friday, 2 of my faves :D @dbvickery @ginidietrich

@dbvickery @SpinSucks HA! I don't have a clue what Franzia is. But I'm thinking it's NOT good. ;)

@amymcctobin @SpinSucks Are you going to come heckle @hessiejones this week, Amy?

@AmyMccTobin @SpinSucks @kmueller62 The new highlight in my career - this #FollowFriday just put me over the top!

@craigmcbreen @ginidietrich @SpinSucks yeah, Grandpa thing came about 5 years early. Bright side: we are still young and OH so good-looking

@ginidietrich that is my brilliant ability for understatement you just witnessed! Thanks again for that #FollowFriday, Gini

@howiegoldfarb @SpinSucks @ginidietrich @ComedyCentral Howie roasts 'em, I smoke 'em (via big green egg...not that kind of smoke @jkcallas)

@belllindsay @SpinSucks Franzia -> "Fine" wine...in a box ;)

@dbvickery @AmyMccTobin @hessiejones @samfiorella I give you full permission Amy (like I have any power or say, haha)

@amymcctobin @hessiejones Bring it, but don't make me round up extra Canadians to torment you | #HecklersHangout @samfiorella @KDillabough

@dbvickery @hessiejones Yes, but technically she's my boss, so can I just abuse you per normal Brian?

@dbvickery My pleasure! Hope you had a good birthday.

@dbvickery @SpinSucks HAHA! I'm no wine connoisseur but even *I* won't drink it from a box!

@jasonkonopinski @SpinSucks @belllindsay And that is when it happened. Then we moved up to Coors Light/Franzia before hitting bocks/stouts

@dbvickery @spinsucks @belllindsay MD 20/20 tastes like high school.

@jasonkonopinski @SpinSucks @belllindsay True story: a friend got stung by a jellyfish. We gave him a bottle of MD 20/20 to kill the pain

@SpinSucks @dbvickery @belllindsay THUNDERBIRD.

@SpinSucks http://t.co/2eidlWkU

@dbvickery @belllindsay Lol! You can be super classy and have box wine with cheez-its!

@spinsucks @belllindsay You haven't lived until you've had wine from a box...and perhaps a little MD 20/20 just to get it out of your system

@dbvickery @belllindsay Lindsay, how didn't you know of Franzia?! Who are you?
