Now With A Smidge Too Much Hashtaggery in I Can't Believe It's Not Twitter™... Spray!

So in lieu of brand-spanking-new material [not that I condone brand-spanking], I’ve put together a handful of tweets, but this time I wanted to share some of the ones that involved hashtag games. I may have done that before, I’m not sure. But those themes sometimes bring out more of my creativity. So anyway, on with that.

[Note: since hashtags do weird things to the formatting, I will be leaving off the literal # symbol most of the time.]

I can fill my tank on a twenty again! Anyway…)

Happy Hump Day, where applicable.
