Number 9: It's Julia
I'm a sucker for trending topics, and since Halloween is right around the corner I was all over this one (#MakeAHorrorFilmLessScary). Kudos to Julia for combining cats and killer fish into one classic tweet.

With the Election just a few weeks away, Bullet Line jumped on the #debate train with this industry-forward tweet promoting the effectiveness of ad specialties. #Winning!

Number 5: Patrick Allmond
Not only does Patrick Allmond know how to work a crowd, he's pretty good at social media too! In this tweet he basically uses a gif from the movie 'True Lies' to ask a convention for directions to what's hot. 'Atta boy, Patrick!

Number 4: Promo Marketing
And then there's this: "It was a T-shirt company, and I had death threats." Wow.

Number 3: Artistic Toy
Here's a great example of an industry company jumping on a hot trend, in this case "puppets," which were a theme in Wednesday's prez debate. A video of these two hands puppets bickering back and forth calling each other puppets would've been monumental, but this is still pretty great!
In honor of last night’s Presidential Debate: "You're the puppet!" Order your political puppet now! https://t.co/vH6hJsjI42 pic.twitter.com/jnKeo5wVou

Number 2: Ricoma Embroidery
Embroidery is such a big part of our industry, and this tweet by Ricoma (re-tweeted by Theresa Hegel) shows just how intricate and beautiful it can be. Ahh...
These are probably the cutest stitches we have ever seen...#ThreadThursday #Embroidery pic.twitter.com/fXjRKNT5aS

Number 1: Steve Woodburn
There's a reason we refer to junk email as "Spam" ... because it's not good! And the food variant ain't much better, which made me scratch my head and wonder how this tweet from Steve Woodburn could possibly be true. But I've been to Hawaii a few times and people seem to love it. (Just keep it away from me!)
