First off, I don't know why they misspelled rotten. Anyway, I went kinda nuts on this one. I pulled up a list of "the 200 best rom-coms" and just worked my way down it, until I just got tired. I did like 20 or so and got a goodly number of them included on-site. A couple of them were pretty good, many of them were kinda lame puns, but I try to bury them in content so they'll remember my name.
Weekly Humorist, a humor magazine I often submit to and occasionally get in, runs these Hashtag Games on Twitter (X), where they name a topic and we submit humorous responses. These games play right into my gag reflex, so I always throw up something. I've taken to setting my calendar to get online every Wednesday to "play" (and by "play" I mean submit content to their website for free--I like to think of it as pun bono work). I always submit a bunch of them on X (Twitter) and some of them get selected for inclusion to their online site.

When they say something like "80s movies" my sense of time is so bad, I don't remember when movies came out. I'm like a toddler who says "yesterday" mean could be "yesterday" or "last Christmas." So, I had to google top films of the 1980s, or if a pun came to me, I had to check to see if it came out in the 80s (like Twilight Zone: The Movie). A lot of puns with the word brie, which is an easy one to do. But I came up with a couple of clever ones I'm proud of (see: Twilight Zone). And there were a number of excellent puns by others as well. So join us now as we...

They picked 3. And not even my best ones. There were a ton of duplicate entries, and I guess many of them canceled each other out. And then there’s the fact that WH put all their tweets as the “winners,” leaving less room for us freelancers. There are some pretty clever gags here, so check it out!

Then I realized they meant Fantasy MOVIES. Oh, okay, that I can manage. Did 15 or so. Got seven onto their site. And I finally did write something new and submitted it. More on that later.

I always submit a bunch of them on X (Twitter) and some of them get selected for inclusion to their online site. I always hesitate when this kind of topic is offered, titillate. I'm a prude. I don't like working blue. And when people dive into this opening, it always feels kind of crass. But, in for a penny, in for a pound. I try to go for clever over crude, the double entendre or pun on the title, not that I always succeed. I managed to grind out 15 or so and 10 got picked, so I guess that's a victory. WH posted it over that their (ad-heavy) site, so check it out! Meanwhile, I have to start submitting some legitimate articles to them again.

Full disclosure, I was off the grid for a couple of weeks and my Google calendar reminded me about the game. Musicians. Food. I'll admit, my heart wasn't fully in it, but I managed to come up with 15 or so. Five made the cut. There were some solid entries here, so I was lucky to get in, I think.

I'll admit my first entry just popped into my head (Dish-wassailer) but then a lot of research was necessary. Some were a stretch. Some were okay. I tried to approach the gags from multiple angles because there was no real beam to ride. The last one was another head-popper (Hair combs Santa Claus). I managed to submit a lot and got 14 picked for the website, a personal best. So, check out..

I am about to submit an article to WH, my No-well bit, so this hashtag is cutting a bit too close to that. I'm sure they'll forget all about it when I submit it next week. I popped out a couple of these quickly, but then had to pull up a list of the top holiday songs and the most popular diseases. And again, I thought I read over the WH entries to the hashtag, but wound up duping a couple of ones I should have seen as obvious. But with well over a dozen entries, I got 7 included in the webpage. Check it out!

Again, they say "name a holiday movie" and they only two that rattle around are "White Christmas" and "It's a Wonderful Life." I mean, I've seen pretty much every Christmas movie, but kept blanking. So, I pulled up a list of the "top 100" holiday movies on IMDB (and I have to say there are some questionable choices there) along with the synonyms for "harmful" and that greased the wheels enough that I came up with 16 or so entries and 7 made the cut.

You get overwhelmed trying to remember something so basic, yet so numerous and you go blank. So I looked up the top 100 sci-fi movies, then another list of 1950's movies. I even looked up synonyms for icy, but pretty much fell on the word "ice" for everything. I did around 14 and got 8 included in the final listings, so, a good showing. But many of the list items were Weekly Humorists own tweets and many simply didn't even bother with sci-fi movie titles. Sure, Frigid Jones Diary is a gimme, but not a sci-fi film, so I didn't include it. Anyway, let's check out some... |
