One can't help but think that this wouldn't be a thing even if his name had been Ed Johnson.

Sadly you can only experience the joy of doing the re-tweet once. The subsequent years have to be tweets with links to the tweet in them.

Well, maybe you can un-retweet last years and then re-tweet for this year. But…

Wow I am really overthinking this when I should just be enjoying this magnificent day.

This is funny. Another funny (amusing rather than outright hilarious) trend on Twitter is to find really old, really odd or embarrassing Tweets by prominent people. @fart does this really well.
