Another Wednesday, another Hashtag game… well hopefully not just another hashtag game – we continue to do everything we can to make @AFrikkinHashtag stand out as a game that has that little bit of its own flavour and it’s all of you that make that possible.
This week my co-host, the incredible Kathleen Adams aka @KattFunny [and i’m not just saying that – take five minutes and go and read her incredible story of recovery over here: titled ‘A Brief History of My Junkie Butt’] and i decided that we wanted to try and do a game that would make a difference. So i came up with a tag and she helped me moderate it and we ended up with #LetMeImproveYourDayBy…
In a world where the constant message loud and blaringly is ME, ME, ME, ME, we wanted to help you take a moment to look outside of yourself and come up with some ideas to improve SOMEONE ELSE’s day…
Katt speaks a ridiculous amount of languages including French, German, Danish and Norwegian. She has a website at http://kattfunny.com and she is host of the brand new #TheKattFunnyTag on Mondays at 3pm PDT/6pm EDT/11pm BST where you play for one of these:
And it was so super great having her play my game. The way her life has turned around is truly an inspiration and she projects such love and grace and friendliness to all around her. Thanks lady for making my game rock!
So we put this out there to see what greatness you could come up with. With a bit of a different angle, we weren’t sure we would see the same FUNNY & CLEVER & MISDIRECTIONAL & RANDOM [but related] that we were used to and celebrate, but we definitely stuck on our FAMILY game guns:
As per usual, i gave some ideas, knowing that we could take this seriously or go for funny and still have fun with it either way.
The first person whose day i want to improve the most is my beautiful wife who i call tbV aka The Beautiful Val:
@Val_C_Anderson, #LetMeImproveYourDayBy reminding you of this one… #HoldMyHand #WalkWithMe
Then i threw in some co-host love, especially for the amazing ad she put together…
@KattFunny #LetMeImproveYourDayBy saying that it’s great to find such a positive Hashtagger to play alongside…
Cannot forget my off-again on-again Twitterer nemesis, K Dawg:
@KeshaTedder #LetMeImproveYourDayBy Keeping all the Trolls away!
Special mention had to go to my team who lurk in the shadows and call themselves The Unnamed Ones
who i pay with only the best metaphorical buckets filled with cheerful banter:
The Unnamed Ones #LetMeImproveYourDayBy leaving out some buckets filled with banter for all the hard work you do…
And of course a shameless Chris Pratt tweet because one day Andy will tweet me back #AndWhatAGreatDayThatWillBe:
@PrattPrattPratt #LetMeImproveYourDayBy saying that I am a HUGE fan of your work.
Or maybe he’ll just agree to co-host a game with me and once someone revives me from the floor, we will celebrate that day. #CallMe
Because we were trying something new with the game i wasn’t sure what your response would be, but YOU GUYS SHOWED UP and we were trending super quickly and then it just didn’t stop.

Well done to everyone who played and thank you for the great spirit that was shown during the game. We aim to keep it FAMILY because we want it to be positive and fun and uplifting in every way for everyone who hangs out with us each week. We love that most of you get that and play along.
However, there were a few tweets that stood a little head and shoulders bove the rest this week. This week’s TOP F.L.O.P.s are:

There is another game tomorrow and it is a super exciting one, especially for people who flee in the face of things that rhyme and so to make sure it’s a good one i am bringing in not one but two amazing co-hosts. Really looking forward to @WhoBrannigan and @JaymeMcKenna joining me this week for @AFrikkinHashtag and we trust you will bring a friend who has not played before and dive right in.
Thanks for being such a great crew – we do this for you
love brett “Fish” anderson and No_bob [the world’s most famous stuffed dolphin, who doesn’t bob]
