Hey guys, this is Shelby. While I’m jet-setting all over the world (taking a European train while smushed between multiple burly men and women), I asked my fellow Twitter, and real life, friend Ellie McElvain (@EllieMcE) to step in for me this week. So here are the tweets SHE liked this week:
Be Advised: Some use of adult language.
Hey, this is Ellie now. Since I’m contaminating Shelby’s article with my sweaty zit-faced opinions, I decided the least I could do is choose a random word that comes from a special and intimate place for both of us. The word of the week is Hedgehogs:

Ryan – may I call you Ryan? – Okay, Ryan, I have a tip for you: Hedgehogs are adorable little bundles of perfect and if I were so lucky as to have the living situation that could facilitate hedgehog ownership, I would drive 4+ hours, nay, 4+ days, (but let’s be honest, not 4+ weeks) to purchase my new best friend and confidante. Looks like you gotta SACK UP or BACK UP. Is that a thing people say?
Well, this was your twitter round up for the week. Thanks for reading even though I’m not Shelby (yet.)






















Ellie you did a very good job but SHUT UP for a second – Morgan how much does a plane ticket to New Zealand cost and is it frowned upon to live amongst the ‘hogs (as I never call them)??
You know I’m going with you, right?
“sack up or back up” wasn’t a thing people said before, but it is definitely a thing people say now
i’m not sure if “sack up or back up” is a thing people say but it is definitely part of my vocab starting NOW!
that phrase has INSTANTLY been added to my catch phrase rotation. along with “breeders” which is a word i learned yesterday from my gay friend that he calls straight couples with kids.
yesssssss let’s make this happen
I like Ms McElvain as much as I do Ms Fero so this pleases me immensely. P.S my phone totally just auto-corrected Fero to Ferocious so that is an awesome wrestling name if need be. My phone already had your name in it Ellie from all the unsent sonnets I have written for you.
Here in NZ, Hedge hogs are generally running free and wild. I helped a sick one when I was younger
But my mum said it was dirty and yuck… Granted, it did smell a bit.
Who is this Ellie McElvain chick? Why should I listen to her? SHELBY COME BACK FROM EUROPE I CAN’T DEAL WITH THIS AMATEUR NONSENSE!
LOL! Oh girl, for a second I thought someone was talking smack.
Thanks! It was so fun!
Let’s try and be positive here. Ellie we are very grateful and think you did an amazing job. thanks
