A Grey Area has joined/started/been assimilated by Twitter (whatever it is you kids-of-today do with it). This happened for business reasons and I won’t go into it other than to say that I’m there now and it rankles with me a little.
For old people like me, Twitter represents everything that is wrong with the world, so I’ve been trying to think of ways to subvert it a little, without actually tweeting about it.
Idea number One
- Convert a black and white picture into 140 ‘pixels’ per line.
- Each pixel is given an “O” for black, or a space for white
- Tweet it line by line over two years
- Only someone with the patience to collect all the lines in the right order, print them out in poster format and stand back and squint, gets to see the “art”
- The picture will be of something really good, like a Chihuahua in a toupee
- First reader to identify the contents of the image, wins a really good prize, like a slightly used toupee
Idea number Two
- Tweet jokes backwards
- Someone reading in order gets a series of intriguing non sequiturs
- Someone reading down a timeline gets a joke
- I get to clean out some unused material
Idea number Three
- Start an epic poem that begins with “We all remember when Ashton Kutcher died”
- Add a line daily until
- It actually happens
Idea number Four
- Take the last three tweets from someone famous
- Start an imaginary dialogue... wait, I gotta go, I have to know what Elizabeth Hurley's having for breakfast
