It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife.
MrsB:
A Mr Bingley--worth 50,000 followers a year--has joined Twitter! He's brought a friend, Mr Darcy--worth 100,000 followers a year! Pls RT
MrsB:
@JaneB @LizzyB @MaryBsaphorisms @KittyB @LydiaB I will have one of you girls married into internet fame yet. Just you wait.
LizzyB:
@MrsB But mother, I think we can pull ourselves up by our dooce-straps just fine.

LizzieB:
@JaneB If I could love a man who would love me enough to take me for a mere 50 followers, I should be well pleased...
LizzieB:
@JaneB ...but such a man wouldn’t be sensible & I could never love a man who was out of his twits. LOL
JaneB:
Oh @LizzyB, it is my ardent wish to marry 4 love. Love, respect AND dual laptops would be most agreeable. #iamdullbutpretty
CubicleSurfer:
Does anyone know what #Bingley is and why it’s suddenly the no. 1 trending topic?
BoredInTheBurbs:
@CubicleSurfer I think #Bingley’s a he and I’m pretty sure he just died.
POPlovesPOP:
@CubicleSurfer @BoredInTheBurbs No, I’m pretty sure #Bingley’s the new Idol. That doesn’t explain why he’s the no. 1 trending topic, tho.

I can’t believe I lost 5 followers with that last Tweet. What’s WRONG with you people?
LydiaB:
@JaneB @LizzyB @MaryBsaphorisms @KittyB There's going to be a dance!!! Squeeee!!! I won't sit down all night.
JaneB:
@LizzyB @MaryBsaphorisms @KittyB @LydiaB Do any of you know what you're wearing to the dance? I was thinking virginal white.
LydiaB:
@JaneB @LizzyB @MaryBsaphorisms @KittyB What I wouldn't give for this: http://tiny.cc/S6s7h & a pair of Jimmy Choos. It’s positively #Bella.
KittyB:
@LydiaB No fair! You stole that URL from MY del.icio.us. #sisterfail
LydiaB:
@KittyB del.icio.us? Are you kidding me? How positively 2007. #epicsisterfail
MaryBsAphorisms:
@JaneB @LizzyB @KittyB @LydiaB I confess a dance has few charms for me—I should infinitely prefer a modest Christian blog.

@Darcy I can hardly wait to dance with @JaneB. She is the most capital girl I have ever met. #loveat1stsight
Darcy:
@Bingley Any savage can dance. #proofofmysuperiority
Bingley:
@Darcy JaneB's sister, Lizzy is pretty. You could dance with her. It would be capital fun.
Darcy:
@Bingley She's tolerable, but she is not handsome enough to tempt me. Also: could you stop saying "capital" so much? #abovemypeers
LizzyB:
@CharlotteL RT @D*rcy "She is tolerable. But she is not handsome enough to tempt me." #twitteratiRtwats #takeyrtweetsprivatefool

Darcy:
@LizzyB FYI, it has been the study of my life to avoid those weaknesses which often expose a strong understanding to ridicule.
LizzyB:
@Darcy Like, oh I dunno, pride perhaps? Vanity? Self-righteous tweeting?
Darcy:
@LizzyB Pride—where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.
LizzyB:
@Darcy Which one of your last 3 tweets would you like me to nominate for http://tweetingtoohard.com/ ? ‘Cause I think they’re all winners.
Darcy:
@LizzyB Clearly, there is in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil. Yes, I’m tweeting at you.
LizzyB:
@Darcy Yours is to hate everyone.
Darcy:
@LizzyB Where yours is to misunderstand them.
Darcy:
@Darcy Oooo. Having a little twit snit are we, Mr Darcy?
MaryBsAphorisms:
Pride is a very common failing. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed.
MaryBsAphorisms:
Ah but, vanity & pride are different things. Pride relates to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
MaryBsAphorisms:
What’s with all the dead air out here 2night? Is twitter down again or something?

LizzyB:
@Wickham Ok, I’ll bite. What’s up?
Wickham:
@LizzyB If only I, honest son of an honest Linux programmer, had not been so grievously wronged by a certain proud, 2.0-savvy man.
LizzyB:
@Wickham RU talking about who I think UR talking about? Developed DRM for I-phone apps? Oprah & Ashton follow him? Follows only 5 tweeps?
Wickham:
@LizzyB The very same. He cheated me out of the open source living his father had promised me. Who could wrong one so noble as me? Oh noes!
LizzyB:
@Wickham Ugh. Further proof of why I hate the Twitterati. Except @theBloggess. She cracks my shit up AND she is a model of propriety.

OMFG.
LMAO!!!
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.
I cannot stop laughing!
"Oh never a twit. I once thought you were a twat but all is forgotten."
!!!
This is a freakin' MASTERPIECE.
Duuuuude.
I bow down before you. That was inspiring! AND you incorporated two of my fav. twitterisms: twit snit and twosse.
Loved it. Except that Wickam with his passive aggressive tweeting. Jackass.
amazing. and I don't even twitter (a twitter virgin, I know! You keep trying to lure me. Maybe @Darcy would have better luck)
Love it. Thanks to slouchy for the twitter tip.
You had me at "dooce-straps" ... and it just kept getting BETTER!
please, someone find someplace to anthologize this!
Aha, so you did use the screenplay - I was pretty sure Grimstock was from there and not from the novel.
My favourite line: Wickham: I just joined a twibe...
This is divine. And awesome. And funny.
Seriously, you are a wonder. Loved this!
#iamdullbutpretty - That was hysterical...
and MrsB...
and Bingley as a trending topic...
and VampireShoeShop is now following you on Twitter...
and MrCollins using Twitlonger!!!!
Really, it is a delight from start to finish.
Have you ever seen the Facebook version?
I forgot Oprah deBourgh! That was the BEST!
Oh, mad, you have outdone yourself. This was amazing. I laughed out loud. Seriously. (So much for pretending to do work.)
You rock my world.
You? Seriously? just made me pee a little
So many highpoints. OMG!!! Has the beacon seen this yet I ponder???
just...Wow. Amazed and impressed.
THIS WAS AMAZING. I am breathless!
I kept thinking that THIS was the best line, right here and then the very next line would be BRILLIANT.
WOW. Great work!
Good lord, woman.
I think you've just made me retire from blogging. AND twitter.
we are not worthy, we are not worthy! Brilliant!
What Beck said.
You have SO outdone yourself, which is not easily done!
Wow.
too, too good! reading it again!
MaggieDammit: @madjustmad Marry me?
That. Was. AWESOME!
dood. i wish i were still teaching. this could replace Coles Notes.
HILARIOUS! I love love LOVED it!
Just came back to reread.
Yes, it's THAT good.
God, this is PERFECTION. You are genius.
Well done!
Brilliant? Genius? It's all been said.
You rocked this one, library lady.
This really is the stuff of genius. Nicely done!
WE'RE NOT WORTHY! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
OMG - I bow to your creative genius!
GENIUS! A MASTERPIECE!
My favorite part was MrCollins' ministwee Hahahahahaha
Reading this makes me love Lizzy even more and also? even more bewildered that she would consider Darcy worth marrying. He'll always be a twat to me.
This is the best tribute to Jane Austen I've read, ever. Great job!
You are an absolute GENIUS! So perfectly WONDERFULLY HILARIOUS! Love it! love it! This is too good to pass up, you must pass the word! It's perfection itself! LOL!
LOVE LOVE LOVE It! Ok, off to share! Thanks for directing me here! Jenni
Brilliant!!
Mad, please stop distracting me from my work.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!
Oh, God, I'm still weeping from the laughter!
Have you been into Bon's absinthe prior to our date? Oh hell. If it makes for more of this, put absinthe in your tea.
Pure genius, dear Mad. Saw this earlier today and am still smiling.
Perfectly tweeted!
A lovely laugh, thanks!
*standing O*
Brilliant. Demure grin.
MrCollins use of twitlonger was inspired!
You are WAAAY too smart for me. I'm going to have to get me plastic surgery to keep you interested.
Brilliant! LOL!!!!
Marry Me.
Oh my good lord, if that isn't the cleverest, funniest, most simply amazing thing I've read in YEARS... you, my darling, make the Internet worthwhile!
This was so incredibly awesome, I'm still in awe.
Capital!
I love you so much it hurts.
Wow. Am agog.
I found this from Magpie Musings...I am astounded. This is truly one of the best things I have ever read. I've always loved Pride & Prejudice and have read it a thousand times. This is better than the Bridget Jones interpretation. Just fabulous. I laughed out loud at the Mr. Collins "Read more on Twitlonger". Hysterical. Now, I would love to see you do Wuthering Heights. Or Emma. Yeah, do Emma.
Oh. Em. Gee. You HAVE to do more of these.
I bow to you. *BOWING*
That was teh awesome.
I think you well and truly trumped the Shakespeare for Raccoons and Other Woodland Creatures.
Enjoyed it fully, totally, madly, deeply, and completely. now running off to LOL
This is the best thing I have read all week. You made my night. For serious.
/follow, /digg, /swoon
absolutely amzing.
Brilliant. I am in awe.
this is GENIUS. srsly. ;)
This is sheer brilliance! Your brain? It's amazing.
Pea Soup sent me. That was - to quote Mister Bingley - capital!
Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.
I bow down, humbly, before your wit and wisdom.
This made my day!
This post is a MASTERPIECE! <33
Hey, it's me again. This post continues to crack me up to an alarming degree. I keep remembering this bit:
"In short, he is a pedi-perv who tried to bone my sister when she was but 15."
Also, I had a thought for a name for this genre: Mastertweets Theatre.
WONDERFUL!!
*snort*
Ministwee! Holy shit. Holy wit. You're amazing.
Oh.
My.
Gawd.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Made my night! Thanks!
Like Alejna, I keep coming back. And I think she nailed it: Mastertweets Theater.
This was excessively diverting. Also "Mastertweets Theater".
Wow, that is brilliant!
Wonderful :-)
That was awesome. Bravo!
Glad to see you've gotten so many hits on this...well deserved. I've passed it on to all my english major friends. Hey, we gotta get our laffs where we can!!
One of the funniest things I've read in ages! I see a great future for fan fiction here...
Wow.... That is too amazing for words. SO brilliant!!! :D Thanks for posting!
truly brilliant mad. you rock.
I never thought I'd see the day that P&P was told in tweets! Very amusing!
Oh my, I don't have the words to express my appreciation! "Thank You" just isn't enough. I couldn't stop laughing. This is hilarious and brilliant.
STANDING OVATION!!!
Captial! This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Great job!
Standing ovation indeed. Capital.
I am all astonishment.
You are officially my #1 idol of all time.
By coincidence, I was just given a copy of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." The first line is, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of a brain must be in want of more brains." It's hysterically funny. Same exact story, but with a subplot of a plague of zombies and Mr. Bennett has trained his daughters in some rigorous Far Eastern zombie killing practices. Of course, you may be PandP'd out right now.
Here via Mim.
BRAVA!!!!!
P&P is one of my all-time favorites. That was capital, brilliant, and unbelievably clever! I'm simply astonished at your concept and the twitteracity with which you carried it out.
Really amazing!
Came over from Mayberry Mom and I have to say this is truly brilliant. I hope you get it published, because you could. I don't even Twitter and still found it hysterical, so I can only imagine.
Ohmylord, this is HYSTERICAL. Brilliant.
I am truly inspired by your wit... or twit? Hmmm...
And now I feel like I really understand Wickam.
Tattooing #sisterfail to my arm. thxkbai!
This is FABULOUS! How long did it take?
Good heavens this is brilliant.
Top hats off to you....
I can only imagine how long that took - makes my head spin.
Holy Moly...this is un-believe-able! It's truly a MASTERPIECE!
I laughed so much as I walked back through one of my all time favorites!
Thank you so much for your hard work, your humor, and for posting this.
Spectacular!

{clapping wildly}
BRAVO!
Jaw dropping.
I think you've topped everything ever done on the internet, and now we can all go home. Turning out the lights.
I saw a link to this from my friend Beth's blog (Total Mom Haircut).
Truly priceless, I really loved it. I told her on her blog, I recently read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (which I enjoyed) but Lizzie never gets to say WTF so this is exactly what is needed.
Have a great day.
Bowing deeply and with much gratitude in your direction.
Hats off to you m'lady.
That had to be the BEST blog post I have read this year.
Please say you will do all of Austen's work.
Cuz you are hysterical, Mad.
I LOVED this! Thank you for such a clever, witty treatment - it was only a matter of time before this came along!
This is just absolute fun !
I so enjoyed reading this.
I never thought the two would, or even should mingle, but you did it and did it - and perfectly so !
Organically Yours,
Diana
Epic. Simple epic.
Oh, absolute awesomeness. Thanks!
This is fantastic from start to finish. I'm in awe. High schools should use this when they study P&P! Thank you for sharing your genius, humor, and hard work!
What a great idea JenniferWriter !
After the kids have studied the original and discussed it... - this would be a great way to help them grasp some of the meanings and feelings behind the wonderful words of Jane Austen and her era.
I love the language of those days gone by - so fluid, so lyrical and yes, sometimes hard to "get" the first time through her work.
Again, I cannot express how much fun this was.
Thank You !
OMG. This was hilarious! Thank you so much for this! Wonderful! I think I cried laughing. Perfect! I am sending all my friends the link.
Mad - You are brilliant! Brilliant, I say!
Oh how I've missed you. I promise to stop by more often.
Colour YOU, brilliant. Indeed. Hysterical post.
That was awesome. I am RTing everyone I know.
Am stunned by your genius. Wow!
Fabulous!
Thank you :)
Wow. Just wow. And I don't even twitter either. Amazing talent.

Me too, I just RT.
Fab! Loved this.
OMG this was absolutely BRILLIANT. I loved it!!
Love love love. Brilliant!
That was the most amazing thing ever.

It' san impressive story. What a woman. It is amazing and I found very amusing.
Wow - awesome. Love the hashtags :)
Oh, HEE. A great mix of the time period and modern sensibilities. As LizzyB would say, you crack my shit up.

This is absolutely amazing! and Monica Fairview is right. You should get this published. ;)

That was fabulous! :D
Hi Mad!
Just reliving, re-reading, re-loving, re-peeing my pants...
You could always just start a Twit-terpretations blog of literary works. I'd read it! :) Miss your voice.
Thank you so much for this. It cracked me up after a horrid time and I must say, it shows how much Jane A is always "in".
