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.
I know I've been lax about the blog, but here I thought I had to post 2 hashtag games from Weekly Humorist, and it looks like they didn't feature the previous week's game, "Mock A Cocktail." Granted, it was nothing to write home about, but it's odd that WK decided it had enough content for the week that they didn't publish a best-of article. Oh, well. Anyhoo, they did a "Winterize A Wine" game the next week, and I remember thinking they were way too similar. Maybe that occurred to them, too. I managed a couple of decent entries here, but only got four in. It's always troubling when the WH humor team gets most of the slots on the list, as was the case here. We'll get 'em next time!
