  1. My Dinner With Andre Google Images

    #LessInterestingMovies: A Twitter game

    Last night (and into this morning), Twitter people were playing #LessInterestingMovies. I feel like we’ve played this hashtag game many times before. Which makes it less interesting and thus PERFECTLY SELF-REFERENTIAL.

  2. BlackBerryIdeas Twitter avatar mangled

    Follow Thursday: @blackberryideas

    I always pick the wrong ideas for novelty accounts. It’s always something I get sick of after like twenty posts. Blackberry, surprisingly, is not such an account.

    By using the same broken English as fake Presidential candidate Matt Romney, reading @blackberryideas feels like hearing people with far more self-respect than brains, scrabbling to conquer something much larger than themselves. It’s like watching an unlikeable Don Quixote who’s already lost, but a lot more fun than that sounds.

  3. LastLinesFromGreatBooks - the monster at the end of this book

    #Last Lines From Great Books: A Twitter game

    Yesterday, Twitter users listed fake last lines from famous books.

    I’m not sure whether this tag started as something sincere; after a while there were plenty of people quoting the actual ends of all the Hunger Games and Harry Potter. But there were also all these good jokes:

  4. Charles Dickens writes fanfic

    The best #NaNoWriMoOpeners tweets (Volume 2)

    “You’re tearing this family apart,” Matriarch Sonic told Tails, “with your shitty Christmas gifts of single rings wrapped in aluminum foil.” “It’s your fault!” said Tails. “You’re the subject of too many satirical National Novel Writing Month tweets!” Sonic almost smacked Tails across the face, but s/he knew it to be true. S/he and her/is fedora were bringing shame upon their suburban dynasty.

    They barely calmed down for Thanksgiving dinner, both staring at their phones reading Slacktory’s picks of the best #NaNoWriMoOpeners tweets. They’d already devoured volume 1, and they now dug into the second course.

  5. fanfic writer

    The best #NaNoWriMoOpeners tweets (Volume 1)

    I strapped another BatoPak to my fingers. It had been a hard month writing Future Articles for Future Slacktory, the last comedy blog on the internet after everyone realized CollegeHumor was made of stupidheads.

    I took a break to read the #NaNoWriMoOpeners tweets that made fun of National Novel Writing Month. They were all good. But maybe if I trimmed away the redundant ones and picked the very best, I could survive another day in the War on Things I Don’t Like.

  9. The 10 Best Twitter Jokes From #NASASummerVacation

  10. So many books, so little time

    #CompletedBooks: The Best Jokes From the Twitter Hashtag Game

    David Malki !, the annoyingly punctuated creator of the webcomic Wondermark, started a Twitter game a few minutes ago. It’s called #completedbooks and the only rule, I think, is that you add words to the titles of books to make them sound funny.

    It’s like a looser version of Booking Bands, the game Coudal Partners invented in 2007 off-Twitter. (That game specifically required matching a band name to a book title.)

    It also reminds me of the McSweeney’s piece “Lesser-Known Movie Prequels”.

    Now let’s read some #completedbooks-es.

  11. 50 People Laughing at Comedians on Twitter

    Writing “@stevemartintogo LOL” is way cooler than starring or retweeting a celebrity comedian. You’re making a unique human connection with the comedian, and they’ll probably follow you back.

    People Just Figuring Out That “AplusK” Is Ashton Kutcher’s Initials

    Ashton Kutcher recently changed his Twitter avatar to the above stylized “A + K”. A lot of his fans hadn’t understood his username, @aplusk, until then. Some still don’t understand.
