We got some great entries for this past weekend’s “Tweets from Snake Mountain” contest, done in conjunction with Cool and Collected. We’ll get to the winner in a moment, but first, here are the honorable mentions, as chosen by Brian of C&C and myself.

MerMan: At the Eternian ER. @BeastMan threw me out the third story window of Snake Mountain. I broke my corncob sword when I landed.
BeastMan: Sorry @MerMan. I had read over on Raving Toy Maniac that you could fly and …well… Sorry. My bad.

Ferociouswithfur: My Tip? Don’t wax your back! Showed off my hairy back and nothing more, and people went crazy for it!!
The winner, who was on both our favorites lists, was Toyman2581. He won for his “Roboto” tweet below, but we’ve listed all three of his entries because they’re all great.

3FacedAce: used ‘bot face in bed with the Mrs. last nite just 2 switch it up, she said “ohhhh Roboto” …WTF
Thanks to all who entered, and be sure to visit Cool and Collected!
But wait–there’s more! A very kind Poester has offered up another Keldor for a contest. Watch for that later this week!
Great contest!Congrats to Toyman2581!
Congrats to all! Toyman2581's first one really cracks me up though! These were all fun to read!
Congrats. I know my first post sort of sent things in the "wrong" direction. I liked the Roboto joke though, clever.
My favorite was probably:
StudlyGar: Big plans 2nite. @CptRndr gonna get pwned
StudlyGar: Ever had 1 of those days?
HavocSkuLL: Heads up. Gotta new username. Facial skin is overrated yo.
Good stuff all around and I gotta admit a very fun and funny, contest.
Thanks Poe for the contest, thanks to Brian for the Keldor, and thanks to everyone who liked the "tweets"! I thought I had some good jokes but wasn't sure if I would win cause I've never used "twitter" or any of that stuff so I wasn't sure if I did it right.
I thought all these were great:

Thanks again!
Wyngarde was robbed:
"Fanngman26: Going to the past with The Boneman…BRB."
Clever, pithy, and a great reference to a MOTU in-joke that didn't require cheap tactics for a laugh.
congrats!
Brilliant winning entry – not too obscure and a great reference to the reuse of Mattel molds – plus any Man-E-Faces riff just cracks me up.
I realize now that, being from Scotland, my post couldn't have won, even of it was 'Raw'-style Eddie Murphy with a side order of Seinfeld. I didn't read the small print. Anyway, back to my plans for a UK MOTU-CON here in Glasgow, if it gets to be big I hope some US bruddas can make it!
Peace, out and "Good Journey" from the Eternian-like hills and fortresses of Scotland!
@Dead Man Walking: If a big MOTU fan like me has to do a Google search to get the joke, it's perhaps a little too obscure. Funny, but obscure.
@Poe: Hmmm. I guess I just assumed it was something every MOTU fan would get since I get it and I'm not a Filmation fan in the least.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I didn't get it either! XD
