Misha Collins joined Twitter (@mishacollins) on May 12, 2009 - the legitimacy of the tweeter being confirmed by The CW, and by Misha posting pics of himself. He soon attracted a large number of followers, whom he decided to call his minions, a collective term happily adopted by fans. Within ten days he had over 5,000 followers; in December 2010 the 100,000 followers mark was crossed.

Anyway, i'll think of you as friends not followers. But then again, maybe minions is a better term... I'll percolate.

Misha's initial tweets revealed that he lived in a windowless underground bunker. He seemed to have a strange obsession with ponies, which he first mentioned as being Castiel's invisible guardians at All Hell Breaks Loose Sydney 2009.

I'm glad you all think it's so funny. I'm 120' underground with nothing but my laptop and stacks of gold bullion waiting out aftershocks/ Right, yes. I'm down here with my computer and my gold and my pony. And i'm tweeting and cleaning my guns./The laptop is powered by the pony on a treadmill. I planned it all out very carefully./Minions, the pony gave out. I consumed the haunches while still warm. very little power left on my laptop. Very little oxygen. I'm so weak.

– @mishacollins May 18th from web, Twitter

  • Misha's Twitter persona is that of a slightly manical character who is often called on by heads of state, ranging from Kim Il Jong to Barack Obama, for advice and occasional sexual liaisions. He has an on-going antagonistic relationship with Queen Elizabeth.
  • May 21 was declared #mishappreciation day by memphis86 and arabella_hope and minions posted facts about Misha's awesomeness (in the style of Chuck Norris facts). It made trending topics on Twitter
  • At Asylum 2009, Misha confirmed he was @mishacollins. He also tweeted from the Con.
  • In November 2009, the site Minion Stimulus was set up to collect money for charity, with Misha's support. This later became the charitable organization Random Acts
  • In the epsiode 6.15 The French Mistake Misha Collins spent a lot of time on Twitter in the episode, and at one point he tweets "Ola mishamigos! J2 got me good. Really starting to feel like one of the guys." Just to really mess with our mind, the real Misha actually sent that tweet after the episode aired (Source). au!Misha Collins and Misha also both tweeted "IMHO j&j had a late one last night. Rotflmfao!" (Source). After both these tweets, Misha then relates, "My phone was stolen and apparently cast into a parallel universe devoid of magic. I've retrieved it. I promise it won't happen again" (Source). All three tweets were retweeted by over 100 people in a matter of hours and then vanished from Misha's twitter feed. A few hours later, they were reposted, but the direct links to the original tweets still work.

The words: #Misha, #metamadness and #kripke all made it into the top ten Trending Topics as the episode went to air.

Rhino Puzzle

When Supernatural fans extraordinary comittment to the Show, and voting, won the Show a place on the TV Guide Cover, Misha Collins Tweeted said that "If you recall, since we won, Warner Bros. will be rewarding me with a Rhino. True to my word, i will cut it up & share it with you all.[1].

His instructions to fans were "To redeem rhino portion, send self-addressed, plastic-lined, stamped envelope to me at: PO Box 74557, 2768 W. Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6K1K1" [2].

In return, in January 2011, fans received this correspondence about a puzzle hunt. Each fan received a numbered piece from one of 5 (originally rumored to be 6) identical Rhino jigsaw puzzles, and they had to track down other fans with pieces from the same number puzzle to form a team. Through the power of the internet, and a Livejournal community, people matched up. Using emailed photos of the fronts and backs of each piece, the puzzle was assembled using the rhino picture on the front, and on the back was written an email address to send a note to when enough pieces were assembled to make out the address. Eventually all the teams solved the puzzle, but members of the team with puzzle #3 were the first to send an email.

Misha then sent an email outlining items for a scavenger hunt that needed to be tracked down. Items ranged from the sublime (Written or photographic proof of the existence of life after death - 16 points) to the ridiculous (A photo of a person holding an authentic rhino puzzle piece in a Russian MIG fighter jet (any class of MIG will suffice) - 31 points). Fierce competition resulted resulting in some fannish wank. The puzzle #3 team (T3) won again, with the prize being cash or tea with Misha:

Well, let me tell you... Anyone on T3 who submitted any entry in the scavenger hunt (i know who you are), has two options for their prize:

Option A) You can send your T3 numbered puzzle piece to the same address you sent the plastic lined envelope and in return, i will send you $53.21 in Canadian cash (and coin) in the mail.

--OR--

Option B) You can keep your T3 and redeem it at any point in the next 7 years for a cup of tea. If at any time, any place in the world (except my house) you present me with an authentic T3 numbered puzzle piece, i will enjoy a cup of tea with you. I'll either brew it, buy it, or otherwise furnish us each, with a cup of tea (hot or cold, according to your mood).

– Misha Collins March 6th, 2011, email to Rhino Scavenger Hunt participants

He also promised to run another scavenger hunt sometime in the summer of 2011.

Tweet Trivia

#supernatural is a trending topic. How long before Mr. Twitter and his censorship cronies swoop in and strike us from the record?
Misha was likely referring to the #luciferiscoming incident.
The show is called "Supernatural" & I believe it's about a family on a safari. I'll be twitting from Sydney, AU at 9-10pm new york time.
Misha was in Australia to attend the All Hell Breaks Loose 2 Sydney/Melbourne 2010 convention taking place that weekend.
