The Best Twitter Hashtag This Week: #ThingsAvGeeksSay

January 13, 2012 at 1:59 PM | by | Comments (0)

We'll be the first to admit that it's a slow news day. Nay, month. This is why we were thrilled this morning at the creation of a hilarious Twitter game by Jon Ostrower (aka @flightblogger). Based on the popular "Shit [whoever] says" meme running rampant on the internet right now, Ostrower began the #ThingsAvGeeksSay hashtag, and the #avgeeks readily replied to match wits.

If you get 'em, you're golden. If you don't, then ask an #avgeek; there's probably one sitting next to you at the airport right now.

Here's only some of our favorites, plus our own contributions:

"I miss the old livery" - @maniacmiler

"You just got back from Europe right? What airline did you fly? What aircraft? Yea, that is all I care about really" - @AirlineReporter

"What do you mean you *just* unlocked the JetSetter badge?"" - @KCJetSetter

"Most of my first dates have been near the approach end of the active runway." - @ulikeairplanes2

"On final for bedtime" - @martinrottler

"I paid more for a ticket just for Channel 9" - @flightblogger

"Why yes, I'd love an 8 hour layover at LAX." - @flightblogger, again

"I won't go to Hong Kong anymore since they shut down Kai Tak. #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay" - @Travel_Buddha

"I still call it Idlewild. Kennedy was too corporate. #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay" - @NYCAviation

"I only fly with airlines that have tested biofuel. #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay" - @evankonwiser

"Your DSLR is okay, but I prefer planespotting with my Holga. #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay" - @NYCAviation, again

"Yea, the 787 is great, but the Stratocruiser was Boeing's best work. #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay" - @jerrytroll

Then we tried our own hand at the hashtag:

"Refueling stop? Watch this thing chug more A-1 than a church group at a Ponderosa."

"Dibs on the window seat, @richardbranson." [Photo]

"My G+ circles are named for @BritishAirways classes. First Class, Club World, WT+, WT"

"I only fly into Charleroi-South. You've probably never heard of it." #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay

"My hair? Thanks--I only get it cut at the VS LHR Clubhouse." #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay

"Booking VX 25 for April 12 is so last month." #ThingsHipsterAvGeeksSay

*pointing* "That's the Larry Craig bathroom."

"LOLz? More like Derby Fieldz, amirite?"

"B6?" "BINGO!"

"D-AIMA & I go way back." [Photo]

"Pouring one out for NWA at DTW."
