In sticking with today’s Hunter S. Thompson theme (we shared some of his advice today), I’d like to open this post with a Thompson quote: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”

In the 21st century, the weird also turn to Twitter.

Charlie Sheen, whose publicist dumped him on Monday, has joined Twitter. The account is verified, and as of 5 p.m. Central time had amassed nearly 100,000 followers. He has not tweeted yet.

The world waits with bated breath, Charlie.

UPDATE: He tweeted.
