(Via the Big Lead)

I was out of the loop all weekend - with a house full of people and a gut full of Coors. But I am working to get caught up.

While I was down a writer at the Denver Post, John Henderson made made what might be the greatest accidental public posting of a direct message ever on Twitter. It was just the kind of thing we live for around here.

Henderson explained himself in an e-mail to Michael Roberts of Westword:

“I was having an innocent direct Twitter conversation with a reader before the Opening Ceremonies and she just said a couple things that got me excited, “Somehow, some way, I sent a response to my general Twitter account and not to her directly.

“Her comments made me horny. Not any athlete, Good Lord, that came on the heels of a blog about a 16-year-old girl? I really hope nobody made that connection.

I’m new at Twitter and that’s the LAST time I’m holding a Twitter conversation with someone I’ve never met.”
