i invited @1cookinggal to join me in asking the world about their happiest of happy places, a place so happy that you couldn’t top it even if…
[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 with @1cookinggal [who resembles a field of flowers sometimes] in the co-hosting seat we decided to see how you’d react:
Firstly as per usual, there was an invitation to send out:
Which included some of our happy place things… i then sent out a few tweets to, you know, get the ball rolling…
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf a shark-costumed Roomba riding kitten was entertaining a similar shark-suited baby in front of me. With @1cookinggal
Because, you know, sometimes it’s the little things.
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf Chris Pratt @prattprattpratt personally Skyped me to play a small cameo role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3
Ja, he still didn’t… but i’m still a big fan… #OneDayChrisPratt
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf I remembered to put on sunscreen before this year’s approaching 109km Argus Cycle Tour
This 109km cycle race is literally happening this coming Sunday and i am, yes, literally going to be wearing fish nets again, but this time i will definitely remember the sunscreen.
And of course you can’t leave a good Hashtag game without a friendly dig at your Nemesis:
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf @KeshaTedder finally came out with the truth of her Jar Jar obsession & showed us the pics of her homemade costume.
My co-host was right on the money and here are just a few of hers:

Sho, some really amazing tweets and then there were a whole bunch that caught my special attention this week. Enough for a F.L.O.P. TEN which seldom happens, and for a bunch of different reasons:
These first two were just a little strange:
[10] We are a family game but just the complete out-of-nowhere nature of The Human One’s Tweet was so incredible:
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf my bed were made of boobs
— The Human One (@OneMoodyHuman) February 8, 2017
[9] And just when you don’t think it’s possible to be weirder than boob bed… well…
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf you would quit being weird pic.twitter.com/dqAFNEPPZI

— Lele J.LaPettimane (@__sheisfierce) February 8, 2017
[1] And while those are all really great other people focused tweets, i think this week’s top one goes to Adultgeek, cos i completely hate cancer so much, having lost a best mate to it. Come on world!
#ICouldNotBeHappierIf everyone would work together to eliminate Cancer instead of trying to eliminate each other
