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.
Having missed two weeks due to holidays and stuff, I was happy to get back into it. Then the topic came up. They keep going back to the blue topics and it was underwhelming. I mean, how many versions of "Snickerdoodle" can there be? I got a couple in, but I was disappointed my favorite one didn't make the grade. I mean, I make a reference to the 1970's porn disco hit by saying How do ya like it? How do ya like it? And I respond: s’more-s’more-s’more! How did that get passed over as opposed to the 5th variation of snickerdoodle? WH is still pushing their in-house tweets, but I noticed they picked some others who happen to post similar puns instead, so there's hope.
