I keep noticing serendipitous juxtapositions in my Twitter stream: people whose tweets have words in common, but not in a current affairs or trending way. Of course, I’m not including simple words such as ‘the’ or ‘and’.
Tweet coincidences: fish.
Take these two tweets, for example that were immediately adjacent in my stream, both about ‘fish’:
lancewiggs: Waiting for order number 222 at Ohiwa’s primo fish and chips shop
Followed by:
RobCottingham: Feed a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Feed the man to the fish, and you’ll be the fish’s friend for life.
Or this, where ‘bacon’ is the common point:
Tweets juxtaposed: bacon.
nzlemming: Excellent! How to baconify your bourbon: http://tr.im/Hgmg
Followed by:
thequotemaster: “There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.” Francis Bacon
I notice these serendipitous juxtapositions often. How about you? Seen any fun juxtapositions in your Twitter stream recently?

Well, right now in my Twitter stream I’m looking at a very perky Californian post about the joys of exercise and health, which is right on top of a very Scottish post about savouring the joy of still getting sh*tfaced on Christmas booze on 5 January. Just perfect.
Heh. I find so many of these juxtapositions. They add a little zing to the day.
