Since this is the 100th Twitter Recap, it wouldn’t be complete without an ode to our favorite parody account Faux Pelini (composed by our Corn Nation poet Jill aka ranchbabe) along with some of his best tweets from 2015.
AN ODE TO FAUX PELINI
It started funny enough
But without much fanfare
And then the real Bo
One small tweet did share
Custody of a fuzzy cat
Seemed a strange argument
For a football coach
And fake twitter account
But a funny thing happened
That night of playoff football
A legend was born
In social media folds
Tweeting presidents, popes
Also punters, and bowls
Helping us find cheer
Through a bad chapter
Even unemployment
Could not dull the laughter
We enjoy the intelligent jabs
And the poignant self looksA fan base that takes
Itself very seriously
Hip hop hogwash
And "sit down please!"
All seem to find smiles
In Faux’s quick hits
Laughter is good for the soul
Even when short on wins
So thank you Faux Pelini
For providing us with laughs
The search for Carl
Should not end on the spot
Nor the obvious questions
So many wish they thought
Keep bringing perspective
And this humor stream
The Big Red needs you
As part of the team
You might not believe this but the NFL investigated itself again and didn't find any problems

The Patriots did an investigation on themselves and you will not believe what they concluded
