So i almost didn’t get around to compiling this F.L.O.P. list because of the bi… HEY LOOK, A SQUIRREL!!!
[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun 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 yes, the dangers [and the fun] of running a Procrastination based Hashtagging game with the most prevalent tags being about “Playing this game when I get around to it a bit later” or something related.
Which is why i decided to unlist Unnamed regulars [Sh!] Powerpuff specialists WhoBrannigan and Jayme to co-host with me on the conditions that they first created me a Powerpuff avi as well [which you can see above – nicely done!
WhoBrannigan and Jayme have been hanging around with the @AfrikkinHashtag crew for a long while now and are the nicest and friendliest and most considerate people in the Twittererverse and so it is an absolute pleasure having them co-host and they sent in a list of potential co-hosts for future games [2 of which you will get to meet this week]. So they rock the party.
But ja, we all have our own ways of avoiding the work we don’t want to do or maybe the chores that are knocking on the door. My ‘One more game of Castle Royale’ might be your PokémonGo Gym attack and your friend’s Sudoku or chair-balancing-on-forehead trick. But we also imagined that this would give you all huge opportunity to go wild and creative [while as always keeping it FAMILY FRIENDLY] and so we were really anticipating the game.
WHO CAME TO VISIT?
For the second time in recent weeks we had Latoya Jackson tweeting in our game… [looking forward to when she jumps on board and co-hosts with us]
#IProcrastinateBy being on Twitter and telling others not to #procrastinate! #WednesdayWisdom
Have a productive Wednesday guys!😊— La Toya Jackson (@latoyajackson) July 27, 2016
It was super fun to have Game Hive showing up and playing along via one of their popular characters:

And i do believe this was our very first Zoo, who came and played with some cuteness:

— Toledo Zoo (@ToledoZoo) July 27, 2016
Our favourite Seinfeld bot showed up to let us really believe we had a game on our hands:
What's the deal with #IProcrastinateBy? Do you love me? Am I a meaning? Am I an actual sea? Just what am I?
— Seinfeld Bot (@TheSeinfeldBot) July 27, 2016
It was a busy day in the Twitterverse and so while we didn’t top trend we certainly hung around on those lists for a good while:
#3 USA #IProcrastinateBy with @afrikkinhashtag @WhoBrannigan @JaymeMcKenna
— Hashtag Roundup (@HashtagRoundup) July 27, 2016
Which was all thanks to you, so THANK YOU everyone for your avid support.
THE POWERPUFF CONNECTION
WhoBrannigan and Jayme are also both really prolific [and very creative] hashtaggers in their own right and so although i have a good collection of their tweets here, know that this is but a small fraction of the incredibleness they sent out… both regulars on the F.L.O.P. list:

So just a smattering, but what winners hey? And always love a good Doctor Who inspired tweet or two and know that with these two on board that is always a strong likelihood.
BUT… you didn’t REALLY care so much about all of the above as you’ve been licking your lips and wondering if this is the week that you made it on to the F.L.O.P. right? Bragging rights with your friends. Maybe a self-produced fridge magnet or one of those online certificates you can do yourself? Well, let’s get to it then.
Here are some of the tweets we thought deserved honourable mention and made it on to this week’s:
FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS

Alison went a little bit…
https://twitter.com/AlisonTyler/status/758289824453308416
So SOME REALLY AMAZING TWEETS AND YOU GUYS ARE FANTASTIC… But this week there were three people [and four tweets] that for us just assaulted that peak and so bringing us to this week’s:
F.L.O.P FOUR
[4] Juggernaught gave us some new vocab:
#IProcrastinateBy convincing myself that if not doing something before you think about it means you precrastinate. It works great

[3] Noel showed us his bad boy side:
#IProcrastinateBy Trolling anticrastination Sites
— Noel Penaflor (@NoelJPenaflor) July 27, 2016
[2] And Noel showed us he had no bodies to procrastinate with:

— Noel Penaflor (@NoelJPenaflor) July 27, 2016
[1] It almost went to Noel for that double… but this one just pipped him as Judy brought the clever:
https://twitter.com/afterdroid/status/758265464162246656
Absolutely made my day – @afterdroid you are this week’s Top F.L.O.P. [it’s a good thing!] so well done and hope to see you all tomorrow again for a Shania Twain inspired game…
With Ross Moorehouse [@RossMoorhouse] and Jessica Carberry [@Jessberrie ] co-hosting what is sure to be a really fun and hopefully uplifting game.
In the meantime, make sure you keep the WIT in the Twitterer [and not simply the TWIT like so many others] and if you are not on the @HashtagRoundup app then you need to download that for FREE and get playing!
See you soon
love brett “Fish” anderson and No_bob
