Drew Ryan Scott of Varsity Fanclub checked in with fans talking about how he’ll be twittering the “word of the day” a la Pee Wee Herman, and is wanting fans to “go to some random location, and videotape you getting some random person working at some place to say the word of the day… when they say it, you go crazy.” Drew demonstrated the concept with a couple friends, going to Quizno’s and getting the person working there to say “chocolate”.
