When you die, what obituary are you hoping to receive?

Taking a leaf out of Parks and Rec’s Tom Haverford’s “Treat Yo’self” day and with inspiration from my wife, tbV [aka The Beautiful Val] we came up with this week’s game tag of #ObitYourself and as always everyone came to the party.

Super stoked to have Hashtag game legend Lisa Taylor aka @mseric co-hosting with me and she was an amazing co-host:

Lisa Lemon

Her Twitterer bio has her as “Hashtag Warrior Princess, Awkward Weirdo.” It also tells us that she is “Co-host of and  on the app”. But when i asked her for a bio, this is what Lisa had to say:

Lisa Taylor spends too much time on Twitter. She lives in Washington state and has never seen Jaws all the way through.

After last week’s surprising failure to hit the charts, we were right back there and Trending in Canada is starting to become as regular as our visits up the USA list so big shout out to all our players over there, ay?:

How do i decide if it’s been a successful game or not? Well the top category has to be if we’re visited by our favourite bot and this week we got some love from both our top bots so double points to us:

And SomeCards.com decided that we were fun enough to write their own little article about us, so thanks to them:

As is our tradition we tried to create a platform you could do triple back flip somersaults of off:

Join @mseric and me as we prepare the words we’d like others to say about us once we’re gone in #ObitYourself

We thought this might be a fun game to give space for honest seriousness [and perhaps some true inward reflection]

but also the usual fun, clever, misdirectional and random banter. So i tried to lead the way with examples of both:

i honestly hope that when I die people will say that i loved God and people well, or tried to.

#ObitYourself

Love God love people

Before people start saying nice things about me at my funeral, i hope one of them makes sure i’m dead.

During my obituary I trust there will be no confusion as to my feelings towards raiSINs…

I honestly hope people will say about me that he tried to live life to the absolute fullest

Had to show this lady some love:

When I die I hope it will be said that I tried to love tbV @val_c_anderson   to the best of my ability

Black Knight: I hope it will be said of me that I drew my final battle…

May it be said that i was game for most things, but especially [real board] games. #HappyPlace

board games

Lisa was so committed to this game that these are only a smattering of her contributions:

Gave us some keen insight into her family there…

But we know you only came here for the knowledge of whether or not you are a genuine F.L.O.P.

and so without further much ado about nothing, here is last week’s:

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS

i let Dreamweasel sneak this one in because it was a very clever play on how @AFrikkinHashtag
is a FAMILY game and so if i was dead, who would keep the rules?

Fungus showed great Celeverity [it’s a word!] in the location of his ‘e’

Who focused on the finer things of life:

Fungus was back with some PUNishment of his own:

Craig discovered a good way to go:

Who can always be counted on for some good… well… Who:

Jimmy anticipated some relief in his crowd:

Suitcase scored some random points and introduced a theme of “doing what he/she loved” posts:

Sean was specific in his life goals:

Tal brought an inside joke involving the currency i pay my co-hosts:

Tomorrow’s co-host Katt Funny [Whoohoo] gave us a taste of what we can expect:

Gabe brought policy into his:

Kiel gave us all a warning:

Ross was just trying to help:

Jim got geographical:

While Gabe proved something we had long suspected:

I really liked this one that helped us all to know who Jim really was:

Donnie was just too good for this world:

Mad managed to find the silver lining:

Who was back with more, um, well… Who:

Gareth sobered us up a little:

While Megan was not sure it could be done:

Ego Sum went scientific:

While Brian may have been a little adventurous for his own good:

Austin echoed a fair number of people with this sadly ironic sentiment:

Hälsa amused us with a number of very specific obituary entries:

Craig brought out the obligatory Nickelback love:

CL had this absolute classic to share:

John wanted to be known for the finer things:

A sad way to go indeed:

Shellie finally got it right:

Buddy did the experiment we have all attempted although maybe not to the same foolish extent:

Lucy had an obituary i could resonate with:

While Kenneth went a little higher grade:

Matt also scored some Clever and Misdirectional points:

Jared found some unconventional ad opportunities:

Oscar set his sights high:

Cool Pope knows what he wants:

Haploid went out on a technicality:

Hälsa was back with a distinct Jack Handeyesque charm:

Andy set his heights forwardish:

Hellen had this classic:

While Dave got us with this one:

Frumious went where i would have gone if this was not my game:

Leftystrat took it too far once too many times:

Brian got cheeky [in the best of ways]:

Deb brought some more PUNishment:

Nutella [Mmm…] waxed lyrical:

Colleen as well:

Whereas panatang was thinking of the hereafter:

The PUNishment kept coming with Johnson taking it to new depths:

Even the game got involved with this classic not family tag that somehow managed to stay family:

Darly went in the worst of ways:

And Octopus took us to the tears [i mean not me, probably other people]:

Which brings us to the pinnacle, the Table Mountain so to speak, of this week’s tweets… and in case that doesn’t mean anything to you, then let me give you a glimpse of just where South Africa’s #1 Hashtagging Game is launched from every week:

Table Mountain

Yup, that’s kinda where i live. Jealousy is a terrible thing…

 

TOP FOUR ON THE FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS FOR THIS WEEK ARE:

[4] Another classic from Hälsa which cracked me up for some reason:

[3] Mat the hat whose secret is finally out:

[2] Nick, who was pretty accurate:

[1] This week’s F.L.O.P. #1 was Donnie who got cultural on us with this beauty:

Thank you everybody for another incredible game with enough FUN, CLEVER, MISDIRECTIONAL and RANDOM [but related] to go around and thank you for the most part for keeping it FAMILY…

Final mention though must go to my most amazing co-hostess Lisa for this winner, which may take you that extra second to get:

And we will see you all again on Wednesday at 12 noon South Africa time [6am EDT] when @KattFunny will be co-hosting along with tThe Unnameds and @BrettFishA
let’s keep the WIT in the TWITTERER!

love brett fish anderson
