What would YOUR UnOlympic event be?

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of crazy people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

So let’s not waste a moment in getting to the fact that last week’s tag made it on to The View. That’s right, Sister Act herself, Whoopi Goldberg, read out the hashtag i had come up with [in a way that let us know it made absolutely no sense to her – ha ha!] and the women had a little fun with it. If you missed that, you can catch up over here:

It was a REALLY successful game and a lot of that was due to having a great tag and a super amazing co-host in CK @charley_ck14 who had some of the most popular tweets in the game. Thank you CK for bringing your magic.

In fact her Gym-nap-stics tweet was quite possibly the most popular tweet of the game, scoring huge with all the judges:

As always there is a group who call themselves Unnamed Ones who work hard to make @AFrikkinHashtag the amazing game that it is and we are super grateful for them. Buckets of Cheerful Banter for everyone!

Not to forget the @HashtagRoundup app which is the best way to stay connected to all of the Hashtag games that are happening. And it’s absolutely FREE. So if you have not downloaded that yet, make sure you make a plan.

MY UNOLYMPIC EVENT

This week’s game was all about recognising those special talents and skills we have in various areas of our lives that aren’t at this point recognised as Olympic Events and the question that if there was such a thing as the UnOlympics, which event would you excel at?

Hashtag game

As per usual i helped things get started:

If there was a world event for creative leg tans, i’m pretty sure i’d be in with a shot. #MyUnOlympicEventWouldBe

bad tan

And on we went.

We always know it is a good game when @SeinfeldBot comes to play:

And once again we soared to the top of the pile in the USA:

Tv Personality Katie Linendoll graced the game with this great tweet and bonus points for Spaceballs reference:

Whereas Paige Mayo, better known as professional wrestling personality SoCalVal dropped in with her speciality:

We love it when Star Wars comes to play and they didn’t disappoint with this classic:

NFL on NBC stopped by to demonstrate their skills:

Not once but twice:

Even Netflix showed up and i have to admit, well played Netflix:

NBC, not to be outdone, stated the obvious with:

And Mr Owl Tootsie Pops used creative advertising to tag a ride with our game
[which we love and any time you want to sponsor the whole game, call me]:

And Church’s Chicken got creative with their plug:

So guests and celebs and merchandisers galore and we really dig it that you all played our game. Come back this coming Wednesday…

We even had someone write an article on the game.

And made it onto the Twitterer Moments for a 5th time:

THEY CALL HER CHARLEY

Back to the game, my co-host CK was dazzling us with her UnOlympic skills and she had many:

AND THEN THERE WAS ALL OF YOU

But we know that the only reason you scrolled so far down was to see if you made it on to this week’s FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS or F.L.O.P. and with thousands of tweets in the game we clearly missed some good ones along the way, but these are some of the tweets that appealed to us the most and so here is this week’s

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [The Oscars of the Hashtagging Games]

First up is our friend Nish and her lounging skills:

Sigg was all about the lean:

Clanks has a skill so many of us could use:

Dreamweasel got punny:

Amithab philosophical:

Our favourite Bunni chose an event many of us would be up for:

While Havana kept hers modest:

Doc scored on Misdirection [you know us and misdirection]:

While Veldlot brought her Dutch skills:

While Grendel [as we call her] claimed she had this in the bag [we are doubtful]:

Hag introduced an event i would be up for:

Gee named an event there would be so many disqualifications for:

Meanwhile Doc was busy scoring Cleverness points:

Joe had possibly the creepiest offering [which we love and want to see video footage of]:

Ben picked another event we would be great at:

Zen disturbed us just a little bit with this:

Grendel was back with this winner:

Although she clearly has competition:

Nick is feeling confident in his skill at:

While Christopher was maybe in it for self-preservation:

Loved this offering from AD:

Gabe’s event was the overshare?:

Ryan didn’t show much confidence in his Twittering:

While Ian would probably have to meet my wife in the finals of this one:

Sonny would have a lot of competition:

Jay brought the puns:

Daniel brought some special skills:

Jessica introduced the dramatic toe stub:

Michael was thinking reverse psychology:

Another of our favourite’s [yup, we have them] was Abed with:

Tish would also have some serious competition:

While Hey! Jude has a skill i certainly don’t have #AlthoughYouSawWhatIDidThere:

G gets points for this name alone:

S Kempe brought the soundless laugh:

Amanda dropped our jaws:

Puppits flipped our minds:

Matty brought back childhood slash last week memories:

The Joshmeister threatened:

While Hilarity brought us, well, hilarity:

Tyler was into recycling:

Whereas Trevor got dangerous:

Meredith brought the shopping:

And Thomzên with his classic:

Which brings us to this week’s TOP F.L.O.P.S and these really were a little cut above the rest:

F.L.O.P. FIVE

[5] Elisa got us right in the puns:

[4] Hälsa scored huge with the Slalomi:

[3] Dem made us all feel this even as we read it:

And i just realised it should have been F.L.O.P. 6 but that doesn’t rhyme so TIED IN SECOND PLACE:

[2] Mad with this great pun:

[2] Andy with this clever and to the point:

[1] But John is this week’s F.L.O.P. winner hands down with this beauty:

Well done to John @JLeytonNGTP and my amazing co-hostess CK @charley_ck14, to the six F.L.O.P. fives and to everyone who made the F.L.O.P. list or who just played the game with us. That was definitely one of the most fun games we have had.

This week we have first timer Aricka @Aricka_Shuck co-hosting and we are looking forward to that. She was a top F.L.O.P. two weeks running and asked if she could host and what could i say to that but “Absolutely!”

The game is going to be all about us imagining our old selves looking back and explaining the world today to the people of tomorrow, so make sure you don’t miss it.
