Lino has good witty banter. Seeing his struggle to get it in under 140 characters is even funnier. We present Lino's Tweet of the Day!


Lino flew home to be with Mama Rulli on thanksgiving (aw, what a sweet boy) and shares something he is thankful for.




Today's post is dedicated to the Turkey that got pardoned at the white house, and also, to the turkey that didn't get pardoned.  Let's be real here, we all know they had some tasty turkey on thanksgiving.

Lino Rulli is very proficient when it comes to Twitter. He tweets on a daily basis, free of charge at twitter.com/linorulli. Sometimes his tweets are solid, other times not so much. Each week, we find four tweets of Lino's that are solid, funny, and worth the time it took to read, and then we find a dud. Hey, nobody's perfect.

The best
Brett Favre is trending again. If he's not going back to the NFL, I think he should take Weiner's seat in Congress. #picturethat - July 24


NFL players & owners agree to terms. There WILL be a season! Sadly, the Detroit Lions are already mathematically eliminated. #needamiracle - July 25


Looks like Donovan McNabb is coming to my Vikings! We love old QB's. I haven't seen this many old guys since the last Papal Conclave. - July 27


Just boarded the flight to NY and didn't get upgraded to First Class. Where is God when you need Him? #dramatic - July 31


Groan-inducing
Another restful night of sleep in a hotel. Thankfully, no woman tried to break in and steal anything or I'd have had to Trebek her. - July 31

In addition to being a funny guy on Catholic radio, Lino Rulli has turned to Twitter to entertain us. Some of the tweets are solid, while some of them inspire groans. Here are some of our favorites, along with this week's dud Twitter update (hey, not every tweet is a winner.

As always, you can decide for yourself by following Lino Rulli on Twitter, using the screen name @linorulli.

Fun tweets.

Going to the beach. I'm not saying it's hot as hell there, but many of my liberal friends say the place I'm going doesn't even exist.Sat Jul 23 14:00:08 via Twitter for iPhoneLino Rulli

Today the Church celebrates St Mary Magdalane. You remember her, she married Jesus and moved to France. #danbrownisstillamoronFri Jul 22 15:02:48 via webLino Rulli

It's very close to three years ago that The Catholic Channel started on Sirius 159. One thing that Lino did very early was to make himself available on email lino@thecatholicchannel.org, as well as on Social Networking, mainly on My Space.

I did sign up as one of his friends on My Space; I was one of the original 13 (put me on a flag.) These were the days before Facebook and Twitter got so popular! Lino quickly accumulated many friends, Discerning Dan started an Unofficial Fan Club for Lino, among others.

This led to me, and others, making new friends that I might not have otherwise met. And we found other interests that drew us together; for example, I met Kate, who also loves Vera Bradley pocketbooks ;) Now I know some of the guys are shaking their heads at this, but at the same time, it makes it much more fun to get to know the other listeners.

May the next three years, and many others, bring us more fun, fellowship, and learning and loving our Catholic Faith.

So, after thinking this over for a few day, I finally decided that I should sign up for twitter. Last night, while trying to go to bed, I was thinking of a user name. I finally came up with MLEcatholicGAL. So look me up and follow me!

Lino needs Twitter followers. Honestly, if he gets almost a hundred more, he gets to take Fr. Dave out to lunch. There's no victory in it for us, other than our favorite Catholic Guy becoming more popular (and thus increasing the size of his ... paycheck).

So to alleviate that, there's been a change to the blog. On the right of this post, there is a Twitter feed showing the most recent post from Lino himself, the blog, and some account called Fake Lino.

The difference in the three is simple. Lino's twitter updates keep the world updated on what he's doing at any particular time. The Catholic Guy Show twitter feed is mainly updated by me whenever there's breaking news on the show, or upcoming segments of particular interest. Not run by Lino or his crew at all. And Fake Lino? Well, I have no clue who that man/woman is, only that it's a funny mockery of Lino. If the person behind Fake Lino reads this, I'd love to find out who you are, as the idea of a "Fake Lino Rulli" on Twitter is wildly hilarious.

Anyways, get on Twitter and follow away: it's the fastest way to get breaking Lino news (we twittered about Lino's Facebook relationship status turning single the moment he announced it on the radio).

Hopefully the sidebar will make this more visible and add to Lino's follower count. And keep you more in the loop as well.

The photo has nothing to do with anything. Although, if you could come up with a Catholic Guy Show-themed caption for it in the comments section, that'd be great.

Greg Willits, Mr. WAM himself, has 1,018 followers on twitter.






Lino has only 109.

Could this be why Lino was not happy about his tweeting yesterday?

Thank God we're not judged by the number of Twitter followers we have.

(St. Michael, pray for us!)

Lino said that Jared must now bring guests with the same first names:

• Thom Peterson -- from Catholics Come Home;
• Thom Crogwell -- some dude who wrote alot of books.

If you keep up with the Twitter account, you got a message late last night saying that we were going to start giving away "Rulli" awards.

For anyone who does not pay attention to the Twitter feed, the premise is simple. Each day, we'll scour Lino's Facebook page for a witty, insightful, positive or just plain creative comment left on his wall. Since he has more than 1400 friends, it should be easy to do. Then we'll send out a Twitter alert announcing who won the day's Rulli, and do our best to shrink the comment into the Twitter-friendly 140 characters for mass publication.

Who knows, maybe we'll come up with a monthly and yearly award too. I think it'd be fun to give some creative minds some recognition.

Let the Facebook commenting commence!

Yes, the post title is a little creepy. But bear with me.
