This is the source for [@insult-bird](https://twitter.com/insult_bird/with_replies), a Twitter
bot whose one sole purpose is to insult Twitter users in a particularly
pirate-y manner:

## Setup

### Note

Replace all instances of *insult-bird* in this project with the name of
your own bot to begin making use of this code for yourself.

Use `virtualenv` and `virtualenvwrapper` because Python is more fun with them.

Clone this repository, the change into its top level directory:

```
git clone https://github.com/brianshumate/insult-bird.git
cd insult-bird
```

Then, to quote the venerable @densoneold,

> commands

```
mkvirtualenv insult-bird
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp insult-bird/etc/access.json-dist insult-bird/etc/access.json
```

Finally, edit `etc/access.json` and plug in your Twitter API keys, tokens,
and secrets.

## Usage

Run it like this:

```
./insult-bird.py
```
