Lacey, top editor of New Times, investigative reporter extraordinaire and motherfucker about town (as the mug shot above attests), has an alter-ego on Twitter who attempts, with intermittent sucess, to capture his outsize personal in 140-character bursts.

Here are a few:

FauxMikeLacey: WHEN I SEE A BULLET WOUND I THINK PAY RAISE THAT’S HOW IT WORKS IN THIS COMPANY

FauxMikeLacey: GONNA TELL MY REPORTERS TO STOP DICKING AROUND WITH THE TWITTER IF NOBODY WILL ARREST THEM FOR IT THEN IT’S NOT JOURNALISM

FauxMikeLacey: HEY DOLL IS THAT A CACTUS BETWEEN MY THIGHS OR AM I JUST REAL HAPPY TO SEE YOU?

FauxMikeLacey: TWO MORE SHOTS THEN I’M GONNA RIP OFF @BOSSY_BRUGMANN’S DICK AND SERVE IT TO HIM ON A DUTCH CRUNCH ROLL

The first three are fairly self-explanatory; the last one is a reference to Bruce Brugmann, the owner of the Bay Guardian, a weekly that New Times' SF Weekly has been engaged in a death match with for some 15 years.

“Bossy_Brugmann” is a fake Twitter account that spoofs Brugmann similarly.
