I've Got A Confession. Twitter And WCLinda.




I, Dr Zibbs ( @DrZibbs on Twitter) and WcLinda (@wclinda on twitter) are the same person. It's true.

I started the WCLinda character a few months and was planning to do one of several things:

- Show up to a tweet up in drag as WCLinda and out myself.
- Have my sister show up at a tweetup as WCLinda to confirm she was actually real.
- Have her stalk DrZibbs. They did actualy imply that they met for drinks the other night. And then I also had her drunk tweeting the other night.

But as time went on, I started to feel guilty that people were going to feel tricked. In a bad way. As opposed to, "Oh my God that was great...hahaha."

I think maybe four people knew. One found out accidentally when I accidentally Dmed from my WCLinda account.

So there it is. Thanks for the memories. So did any of you have your suspicions? I know one person that did but I think she knew 100 percent it was me.

Please share your thoughts in the comments area.

  1. I wonder how many followers I'll lose? DrZibbs has 922 and WCLinda has 183.

  2. Did you dress up in women's clothing to do her tweets ala Norman Bates? I'm not a twitter follower, but I'm cool with it. It's like when a wrestler takes the mask off his opponent.

  3. If you want to confess, I know a great priest you can talk to. Goes by the name of Kelly.

  16. The hell with it. I'm not deleting the rest of this Chinese spam.

    Maybe he had a crush on Linda.

  17. I was wondering what all those deleted comments were. I thought maybe Linda was leaving them and you were trying to silence her. It occurs to me that she was kind of like your ventriloquist dummy.

    And I guess this means I should return the gloves I bought Linda for Christmas...and they were so pretty. Just like her.

    wv: denests (much like what you did to our hearts with this news)

  20. Well, you got me. I guess it's not surprising that I liked her so much, given that she's you and all.

    Weirdo.

  22. Thank God you came out of the closet. For a second, I was starting to think that I was WCLinda.

  23. Yo Zibbs. What's up?? You're slacking on the blog, almost as much as I've been!!! How are things in good old WC?

  24. I was completely fooled and extremely relieved that I didn't flirt with WCLinda via DM. That would have been REALLY uncomfortable in retrospect.

    Whew. Nice work. I was looking forward to meeting her in real life. She came across as completely different than you.

  25. Gwen, I'm weird? Me?

    WestChesterDead - it was hard to write her as a different person but some of the DrZibbs humor came through because there were three people that knew and they would tell me certain tweets sounded like me.

    As for the flirting that was one of my fears that some dude was going to start flirting with her.

  26. Only you can think of something like this!!! Genius!!

  27. I want her shoes *pictured*

    And since she is a fake person, I figured she doesn't need them as much as I do. So if you can send those in a size 5 1/2 that would be just groovy.

  28. E - Where have you been?

    Kimmie - I almost became an ultra Turd because this morning I was thinking, "What if I know tweeted from WC Linda that she's real and Dr Zibbs put her up this whole thing?"

  29. WTF is up with That Blue Yak? 6 measely posts in October (2 of which were half-assed at best . . . is Toby Keith sexy . . . is Dr. Zibbs funny and not like ha ha funny?) and not a single post in November. Dr. Z. should stop dabbling in the transgender world and do some blogging.
