Many years ago my parents took my siblings and I to the Great America amusement park outside of Chicago. It was a pretty big deal to us and we had a great time, but curiously enough one of the random memories that sticks from that trip was an advertising promotion. Great America had an offer of some sort - I don't remember the details, this was a long time ago - where if you brought in your full price ticket for the day you could get a ticket for the next day for some absurdly low price. It might have even been a dollar. Obviously they just wanted your body in their park spending money.
The promotion was called "twickets". For twin tickets? Two tickets? I don't know. Twickets.
For whatever reason it stuck and we've been referring to twickets for years.
And now, for the SCOOP, I HAS TWICKETS.
Yeah, yeah, crummy build up, cool story bro, I know. I was just trying to come up with a way to embellish slightly the "oh hai I finished 51st in WBCOOP event #2 for another baby SCOOP ticket last night" post.
Sigh. FAIL.

Twickets sounds like something you would use on Twitter.
Congrats :-)
