Jose Canseco’s Twitter account briefly disappeared, has risen from the dead

Fans of crazy people who have Twitter accounts were left in disbelief and a state of mourning Tuesday when it became apparent that the high comedy that is Jose Canseco‘s Twitter feed mysteriously no longer existed.

But worry not, folks. After approximately three hours off the grid — a time during which the Internet felt so empty — Canseco’s account was back up and running, offering cyber hugs and producing nonsense in no time. Upon his triumphant return, the former Bash Brother and now possible zombie greeted us with tweets that only the mind of Canseco can come up with:

Some aliens deleted my acc.

Come on haters join the club so I can slap you and then hug you — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) April 24, 2012

I actually died over night and came back to life now I am a vampire and you are my apprentice — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) April 24, 2012

Not even MLB and aliens can shut my twitter down. Cansecomaniacs are more powerful

When I died I saw Elvis and micheal they said hello

If you’re unfamiliar with some of the brilliance that’s come from Canseco’s Twitter account, here’s a sampling:

  • Asked for a tryout with the Red Sox
  • Proclaimed global warming would have saved the Titanic
  • Asked Magic Johnson if the Dodgers are interested in him, offers to donate salary to charity
  • Challenged Shaq to an MMA fight
  • Challenged Warren Sapp to an MMA fight
  • Complemented Billy Beane on his looks before asking for a tryout with the A’s
  • And, how can we forget, he erroneously reported Al Gore had died

Yup, I’d say we dodged a bullet today, Cansecomaniacs. If you haven’t already, give Canseco a follow now. I know I have. You never know what you’ve got until you lose it.
