No one needs a hole in a head [beyond ears, eyes, nose etc…] but what other things feel equally unnecessary? We asked you to share your #INeedThatLikeAHoleInTheHead and this is what happened:
[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 was the week we invited Barry Walsh to come and be part of AFH and we have not looked back [just a few weeks after we got the added bonus of having his wife Geraldine join us – family Walsh for the win] and he dived in with fervour – in fact, if i remember correctly he refused my first invite [three weeks or so before] because his wife was about to have their second child [great priority, we applaud!] but he was with us the moment he could be:
As per always, we started with an invite and a few examples to, you know, get the ball rolling:

This reminds me that this gave was inspired by me literally passing out during the night – after an earlier blood donation which may have had something to do with it [Give blood people!!!] and making a literal hole in my head courtesy of a nearby bookcase… so we played off of that.

Can never go wrong with the bad tattoo fails…
Barry won’t admit it, but he is a champion hashtagger which is what caught our eye in the first place and he was soon rolling with some like these:
