Or as another friend of mine, Lou Costello, was fond of saying..."I'm a baaad boy!"
Over on Twitter hash tags are used "to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages."
One of the more popular hash tags is #FF, for "Follow Friday", used as a way to spread the love around, and let ones followers know about interesting Tweeps to check out.
When one clicks on a hash tag you are taken to a web page that tracks the history of its usage on twitter.
Well, for most of my years as a twitter user I never spent enough time every day on the site to get into the habit of using hash tags much, much less the #FF one. As I am beginning to get more active on twitter, on a lark, this morning, I decided to plug some quality blogger friends of mine. However I had one problem....today wasn't Friday.
What to do? What TO do?

As a humorist, and lifelong fan of the classic cartoons of the 30's thru the 50's the solution to my conundrum was obvious.
And, so #WeccommendWedn was born.
Oh, and yes, I know recommend is spelled with one C and two M’s.
Let's see how many twitter users do. Or even are old enough to know who the hell Ol' Elmer was. Hee, hee!
Besides, who's gonna argue with Elmer Fudd?
