Have you been following the #MAHeritage tag on Twitter? People are tweeting intangible bits of our state’s rich and bizarre heritage — the “only in Massachusetts” stuff.

It started 24 hours ago with a tweet from Boston Phoenix writer David Bernstein (@dbernstein):

What would be on your list of Boston/Mass/New England “Intangible Cultural Heritage” items? #maheritage

There are some 1,500 entries so far, by my count. Some great examples:

@joegrav: Pretending to like Aerosmith

@GarrettQuinn: Zoom on WGBH

@shirazita: Mr. Butch!

@MakenaCahill: Actually knowing people who are descendant of Pilgrims. And admitting it.

@nickpizz: Molasses flood destroys East Boston.

@StevenEBrown: Make it in Massachusetts

@BarnacoatWBZ: The “leaning tower of pizza” on Route 1

@CharlieTicotsky: “Save Fenway Park” bumper stickers

@AssignGuy: Blizzard of ’78.

@MediaGalChloe: Quality, comfort and price, that’s nice
