FAHashtags & Threads

What do Foil Arms & Hog do on Twitter? They tweet random stuff from their daily lives, promote fellow comedians' work, (re)tweet announcements for their gigs (by venues), like and reply to FAHns' comments, and of course promote their own sketches. Their Twitter timeline throughout the years gives us FAHns some great insights into their work and characters... such as the answer to that age-old question: **Who is Foil, who is Arms and who is Hog?**

FAHns mess around with hashtags all the time of course. We love to pick up on a throwaway comment from one of the lads, slapping a hashtag in front of it and use it whenever possible. Click the pic to see the most successful ones!

On occasion, the lads have started a little thread of their own... these tend to get buried, so let's try and collect them here for easy access.

## Foil's Tan and Tattoos

When a FAH lad shows some skin, we FAHns jump on it like Twitter jumps on a celeb holding up a piece of paper. After slagging Foil for his *Irish tan* (quoting An Irish Summer throughout), we decided to hold a competition: who can slap the most ridiculous fake tattoo on Foil's exposed upper arm?

Kudos to Foil for playing along by actually following (and liking) the thread. He even pronounced a winner! @ChristineTheRa1 won herself an imaginary lifetime supply of Bounty choc bars. (She was thrilled.)

## Foil and the Lockdown Haircut

A couple of weeks into lockdown, Foil decided to go for it and grabbed the clippers. This is a tale of a haircut gone wrong... warning: may trigger sensitive viewers! The FAHns who lived through this thread as it was going on still haven't fully recovered! Twitter thread starts here.

## Arms and the Haircut Lifecycle

Arms has unwittingly created his own cult following by tweeting about his hair. Years ago he tweeted while in the Barber queue. A haircut on the day before Valentine's Day... coincidence? All I know is, I've never seen a worse cut on him than in the next sketch they filmed: Expressions College. See for yourself!

On the 1st of February 2020, Arms decided to treat FAHns on twitter to a unique insight into his haircut lifecycle. Something about this month really seems to trigger hair-related concerns in this lad.

    Asked what he meant by "Lego man", Arms quickly dug up the appropriate GIF from ThePirateHobbit's catalogue.

**A different perspective on Lego Man Hair** was provided by Heleendje with a photo manipulation of a FAH press release (from their gallery).

The buzz from FAHns was nearly audible and the commenting didn't cease for weeks. Heleendje made a handy overview for each week in the cycle on her Instagram page.

* Week 1: get haircut, hair too short
* Week 2: hair looks just right
* Week 3: Lego Man
* Week 4: still lego man
* Week 5: hair looks good again
* Week 6: hair too long
* Week 7: badly need haircut
* Week 8: need haircut even more badly
* Week 9: starting to look like a wig now...
* Week 10: Jayses get your hair cut HIPPY

Arms got himself an interesting new haircut halfway March 2020, as evidenced by a couple of FAHn Meet & Greet pics during their UK tour for Swines, and of course as witnessed by all in the first episode of Squatters.

Then lockdown came... the barbers in Ireland closed, Arms's haircut cycle turned into a long, continuous line as his hair grew and grew... and The Arms Lockdown Hair Saga grew along with it.

One year later, a brand new FAHn came across this page and came up with a bunch of names for every week in Arms's haircut lifecycle, sorted in different categories. Thanks a mill Mitaali!

*Notes:*

* Stages corresponding to Arms' tweet from Feb 2020 up to Week 8, since Week 13 is just Week 1 from the other side.
* Stage 7 (see The Arms Lockdown Hair Saga) could be called **The Wig-Out** (not us, him. He wigs out. Also it looks like a wig.)
* Once I'm done watching the whole material, I'll revisit this whole mess, and extract something less pun-ful that can amuse us FAHns and pass muster with the senate.

## Arms and the lady who bought him a drink

Arms fantasises about a woman who secretly bought them a drink at their Liverpool gig on the UK Swines tour. Twitter thread starts here.
