What would make you run? With the amazing @Solely_Toya at my side, we decided to find out…
[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…]
First time co-host for AFH, Toya was such a smooth slide into the vibe of the UnNamed Crew and she took to the game like a duck to a snack that ducks really enjoy.
We sent out a fun invite to get people excited about the upcoming game:
And then hit the ground running with some game starting examples of our own, beginning with an early dig at my ‘Nemesis’:
#IWouldRunIf @KeshaTedder ever started producing her own movies. #JarJar @StarWars
We also did our best to keep it Trump and Hillary free cos we’ve overplayed that avenue to death:
A typical topical anti-raiSIN tweet can usually be expected from me if it fits in with the tag:
#IWouldRunIf I saw you heading my way with food and had even the slightest feeling that it might contain raiSINs in some form #STOPPIT #NO
My latest cause has been to help free the world of pineapple infested pizza:
#IWouldRunIf I saw you putting pineapple on pizza because NO. #PineappleFresh #PizzaCooked #NeverTheTwainShallMeet #STOPPIT
And finally some male and female “fashion” that caught my eye in a head-for-the-hills kind of way…
#IWouldRunIf I saw you wearing any of these [part I and II]:
#IWouldRunIf became a typical trending game quite quickly:
#4 USA #IWouldRunIf with @afrikkinhashtag @BrettFishA @Solely_Toya
