…okay, kind of a funny asshole.
Translation for the non-Twitter enabled: If it snows, Portlanders on twitter will use the hashtag #pdxtst to talk about the weather in deliberately hyperbolic terms—the hashtag stands for Twitter! Storm! Team!, and it originated as a joke about the media’s breathless coverage of Portland weather, though it’s since seeped into more serious mainstream usage as well; backstory here—while Portlandia fans across the country follow along and think we’re serious and laugh and laaaaaugh. Well played, Portlandia Twitter account.
… I have no idea what this means or why it’s funny. I feel old, and I’m only 28.
News story at 11; Twitter Signal/Noise ratio is still horrendous.
Which hashtag do they use to find some flesh and blood friends?
…says the guy who comments on blogtown all day.
I have burned myself, yet again.
I bet it’s Carrie herself, because we all know how just sooooo creative and pithy and talented she is, and she NEVER does anything that others might view as trivial.
well, Portland drivers and weather forecasters both get pretty hysterical when it snows here
@randyzpdx, yes they do, and they cant drive for shit in it…I think that is the joke along with the fact that it is a rare occurrence (the snow, not the panic and shitty driving)
FYI: That isn’t the real Portlandia Twitter account. It’s a fan site, like the bio says. The real Portland Twitter can be found at @IFCPortlandia.
