You may be good at keeping a straight face, but we asked you what kind of statement you would not be able to get away with as we played a game of #TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI
[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 we got you intrigued:
And then we sent out the invite and some examples:
#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI accidentally said something about liking raiSINs. #NotATrueStoryWouldNeverHappenEvenInJest
#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI said that eating pineapple on pizza should be a thing.
#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI told her that it was perfectly socially acceptable to use the word ‘Bae’ ever. Ever.
#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI asked @KeshaTedder who her favourite @StarWars character was and she responded by laughing “Not Jar Jar Binks”
This was the game where we thought we were saying goodbye to our good friend Rob @GenericZA for a long long time [although it did in fact turn out to be much shorter than he had anticipated…or so he says] and so a number of our tweets were shoutouts to him:
#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI said I won't miss you
I'm going to miss you (and your cat gifs) ALOT, Rob ❤️
— ❤️ Jayme Really (@JaymeMcKenna) April 26, 2017
#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI said I won't miss @GenericZA. Obviously a lie. I'll miss his kindness and humor. Best of luck!@AFrikkinHashtag
