I just played Trogdor The Board Game with my partners. We lost spectacularly, as expected for a first play session. The minis are amazeballs though, and my husband got ye flask :O

After hearing some #Portland #hipsters kid each others about their home on Xitter, I realized that #Portlandia was always one big #injoke for us #1990s indie rockers.

Now I knew why it was lame comfort #humor for my brethren—the setups were so obvious that we could see the punchline coming miles and miles and miles and miles away.

My username is unexciting, but my profile picture has a backstory. As today is #StarWarsDay #MayThe4thBeWithYou (there is a connection), I figure I would tell it. At first glance, my profile pic looks like a gibbous moon. But...

"That's no moon". #ObiWan If you look closely you'll see that it's actually a picture I took looking down a microscope lens showing yeast cells. So my profile picture ticks three different interests of mine: #ScienceFiction #Microbiology #InJokes

I love wikipedia pages with embedded in-jokes. I found a mountain page where only failed ascents are listed, and only amusing failures are detailed. No mention of successful ascents, not even the first. And it's only funny if you know why. (No link because some humourless pedant might edit it.)

Favourite injoke a writer has embedded in something?

I think I've got to go with this absolute masterpiece of bait & switch from Sir Terry Pratchett.

I can only aspire to construct a layered joke within my work that rings the audiences bell so thoroughly.
