Misha's Minions

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. On weekends, minions are referred to as flunkies.

Anyway, i'll think of you as friends not followers. But then again, maybe minions is a better term... I'll percolate. – @mishacollins 2:07 PM May 13th 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 asexual 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.
