If anyone needs evidence of how to go overboard with Twitter, we would direct them to Mark Cuban's Twitter feed.
The controversial Dallas Mavericks owner first mentioned on Wednesday that he had a kidney stone, and in the following days he has been tweeting often about his pain from Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
Kidney stones are no fun.If this one pops out in one piece I'm either going to get it bronzed or sell it on eBay #pukinglikeaftermyfirstbeer

Cuban used some, shall we say colorful, hashtags to go along with these tweets.
What should I name the little f*cker ? #nameCubanskidneystone.#moredistractionspleas

This tweet did get some pretty hilarious responses. They included: Kid(ney) Rock, Joey Crawford and Lamar Odom.

I'd gladly trade this kidney stone for an alien probe..

And just in case the picture wasn't clear enough, Cuban has some more wonderful imagery.

And finally, on Wednesday morning Cuban sent out one final kidney stone-related tweet. For those interested, Cuban's stone turned out to be 5mm.
The kidney stone is dead.!!!! Thx to all for humoring me this morning during a painful time. it really helped take my mind off of things

We all know that passing a kidney stone is one of the most painful procedures around, and this series of tweets simply confirmed that. And most people probably wouldn't want to share their experience with 1.5 million of their closest friends.
But then again, most people aren't Mark Cuban.
