![]() 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. Getting this up late. Had a computer crash (independent of the MicroSoft crash) and, well, last week's hashtag game didn't go that well for me. I mean doing puns on one word items (like board games) is tricky. And, frankly, WH grabbed most of them for themselves. I finally manage to squeeze out 12 or so, but only one got selected for their website post. Oh, well. There's always another game for another week. Until then...

I always submit a bunch of them on X (Twitter) and some of them get selected for inclusion to their online site. I had a solid week, entered almost 20, got 8 in. And I came up with some pretty pithy puns, IMHO There were a lot of good tweets this week, throughout. I am concern, because the number of participants seems to have settled on a core group of tweeters and the game never gets to trending any more. Oh, well. In the mean time, enjoy:
The important thing about comedy is staying topical and relevant! And that's why I wrote up this parody of Jurassic Park!
Fortunately in these days of content creation and exhibition, the Jurassic Park/World movies are on CONSTANTLY. And it cable stations still show it, I can mock it. Any way, Weekly Humorist bought into that theory and published by latest over at their website!

I was offline for a couple of weeks, so I missed those hashtags, but I'm back pretty strong this week. Yeah, it's one of those weeks where people went with different definitions of "hot." Hot in terms of temperature vs. hot as in spicy or hot is in attractive. I stayed with temperature. Submitted a bunch, got 5 in. So, in honor of the heat wave and the fact that there are no superhero movies this summer (?) we present:

I always submit a bunch of them on X (Twitter) and some of them get selected for inclusion to their online site. This is one of those topics I didn't think I'd do well in. Sure, I like meat, but I don't know much about Metal music. I had to pull of a Wiki-page of UK and US metal bands and scan them. And some pretty much popped into my head. Then I pulled up a list of common beef cuts then mixed and matched names and cuts. It went pretty well. Check it out:
Thanks to the grandkids, I've been turned onto a Disney show, an Austrialian import called "Bluey" (you don't just say it, you have to shout it). They started off a new season with a longer than usual episode that involved, love, marriage, leaving home, moving away and other things to tear your heart out. Naturally, I felt the urge to mock it. And Weekly Humorist was willing to print it!

It's weird, you say crappy cop show and you get the crap synonyms but you also get bad, punny cop show titles, on the assumption you're pitching a cop show that would be a crappy idea. I pretty much went to the turd bowl on this. Submitted a bunch and got 7 on the website.

What's not to like. It's one of those deals where WH seems to have snapped up all the ideas, but then bouncing around dog breed sites and candy lists, ideas started to assemble. They even used one of mine in their introduction paragraph. I'm happy with the results. You can be too:

We had multiple root canals (the same tooth, done multiple times) and other at-home duties, so I didn't get into the game until late, and managed to get a couple posted, but only a couple made the cut. Plus, the WH site has me on some sort of restricted access to the article, so I didn't get to see the whole list. I hope you can! Enjoy:

I got very tied up with some things and before you knew it, it was 2 hours into the hashtag game. I had to hustle to get up a dozen or so. I tried looking up a list of common drugs, then I just pulled up a list of famous robots. It was kinda easier to go in from that direction. Despite my late start, I got some good ones in. Although I don't know if my computer screen keeps resetting or if they posted a couple of duped entries. I mean, all medicines sound alike, so I guess that was unavoidable...
