#PittsburghBands: Steelers edition
Seemingly out of nowhere this evening the hashtag #PittsburghBands exploded on Twitter and rose to the top of the trending list here -- and even trended worldwide -- to hilarious effect.
The idea: combine a band name with some kind of a local idiosynchracy, be it dialect, a personality, a business, a landmark, a neighborhood -- whatever.
Hundreds of clever tweets came in fast and furious fashion -- Slippyknot, Redd Up Chili Peppers, Patsy InCline, Guns N'at, They Might Be Giant Eagles, Freddie Fu Fighters -- were among the better ones.
Naturally, there were some Steeler-related suggestions.
Like, a ton of them.
