A Frikkin Hashtag: #MyAmbitiousLawyerObjection

Objection, you honour! Um… that comment… contained traces of nuts?

We thought it might be fun to see what kind of lame, over-the-top, creative and inspirational alternative Lawyer Court Objections you could all come up with… we were not far wrong…

[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…]

This week it was the incredible Jennifer aka @QuietlyShe who dived in at the deep end as co-host and performed admirably…

And i was yet another chance to win a fun T-shirt from Juicebubble.co.za [and if you’re in S.A. you should check out their range of hilarious and punderful t-shirts!]

We sent out the invites…

And then started the game with a few examples to get you rolling:

Objection, your honour. My opponent seems to be operating on a hunch.

Come play #MyAmbitiousLawyerObjection with @QuietlyShe & @BrettFishA

Objection your honour: Opponent is making use of real live badgers to do his job. #MyAmbitiousLawyerObjection

I’d like to object your honour. The opposition lawyer seems to be employing some kind of witchcraft.

#MyAmbitiousLawyerObjection

I’m going to have to object. I am finding it difficult to take opposing counsel seriously.

#MyAmbitiousLawyerObjection

I’d like to raiSIN objection your honour in that I object to all raiSINs everywhere.

#MyAmbitiousLawyerObjection

Quietly She was also in on the act and here are just three of her tweets:

We know it’s a great game when the Seinfeld Bot shows up which he did:

As did our second favourite Bot:

And we even had a guest appearance from a new Botty friend:

So a whole lot of fun all around… but we know you are only really majorly interested in finding out if you made the Top Tweets list or not… and which South African won this week’s prize shirt… so let’s take a look at:

[1] But John just told it like it is and is this week’s winner on the grounds that i would absolutely LOVE to one day hear a lawyer try this for reals in court:

Meanwhile as far as unorthodox objections in law courts go, Gareth who is the WINNER of this week’s T-Shirt from JuiceBubble.co.za went for the easiest of targets and is this week’s WINNER:

Huge THANKX to Jenn ak Quietly She and of course, as always the behind the scenes International UnNamed Ones who work tirelessly to bring these games to you on such a high level. Don’t worry if you didn’t make this F.L.O.P. cos there will be another one on Wed as we celebrate ONE YEAR OF AFRIKKIN HASHTAGS…

That’s right – it has been one year since our official first app game on @HashtagRoundup so huge shout out to Jeff and Robyn for all the work they do in pulling that community together… and we will be celebrating with BUMPER HASHTAGGING GAME at the normal time, but with as many previous co-hosts pulling in as could be bribed with BUCKETS OF CHEERFUL BANTER…

Look forward to seeing you and this week’s game has something to do with strange or unique events to hold Anniversary Celebrations for, so start thinking… and see you Wed at 12 Noon South African time and 6am EDT for South Africa’s biggest Hashtagging game…

love brett “fish” and the world’s most famous stuffed dolphin, No_bob
