A Frikkin Hashtag: #MakesThisAWonderfulWorld

For Louis Armstrong it was trees of green and red rose as well that made him come to the conclusion that he was looking at a Wonderful World. We decided to draft in a Canadian in the form of Christian Fletcher aka @Darth_pingu who we had had our eye on for a long time [great tweetmeister] to help us see what might help us draw that same conclusion… and he did not disappoint…

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…]

Christian Fletcher aka @Darth_Pingu

We sent out an invite and gave some examples:

Tell us what for you #MakesThisAWonderfulWorld ? With @Darth_Pingu & @BrettFishA and The UnNamed Ones on @HashtagRoundup

[Also just to note that all of those faces in the pic are former co-hosts of the Afrikkin Hashtag game who will be joining together to take part in our Two Year Anniversary game next week – DON’T MISS THAT ONE!!!]

We know Fletch is amazing and he quickly showed us why:

And as small a fan of Donald Trump tweets as i am, this one just HAD to have its place:

We trended a lot and had some of our favourite bots pay us a visit [yep, we have favourite bots, we are THAT weird]

And we know we are doing well when we get our bot tune for the game:

We had some fun folks stop by to play like the Bristol Motor Speedway:

Chicago Shakespeare brought the romance:

We loved that the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society dropped by:

And the always adorable Chaka Khan, who is becoming quite the regular tag playing queen:

But we do know that you didn’t just stop by for those people. Did you make this week’s TOP TWEETS list? Only one way to find out [well maybe two ways if i tagged you for being in this list]… and a reminder that we focus on FAMILY friendly tweets so thank you for always sticking to those and our main pillars for this particular game are tweets that are FUN, CLEVER, MISDIRECTIONAL, RANDOM [but related] and PUNNY… and of all the ones we saw, here are those that made it on to this week’s

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [aka F.L.O.P.]

So many great suggestions for this game and our longest – i believe – list of TOP F.L.O.P.s at the bottom so well done everyone…

Jess started us off with some teacher-kissing-up but we are totally down with that cos it is true:

Barry’s was a super impressive feat except that the guy had tea instead of coffee which must have been a mistake:

It’s tweets like this one from Mark that will get you invited to co-host an AFH game as Mark is this very day:

While G Bear brought all of the awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww:

Cameron was all about the bird flew #ISeeWhatIDidThere:

While my nemesis K Dawg clearly had me in mind with this post, or at least the associated gif:

Rebel was being less of himself and more conformative with this one:

While Rob was just pure gratitude, echoed by so many of us:

John looked back into his time-travelling past for the answer:

While Craig took a moment to truly be blown away by the world we live in:

Metalhanded had an overall general vibe:

While Tom was all over the place:

Stan with another reminder why i should not have children:

Ashley has a great combo going:

While Richard could not be Moss-taken:

While Don’t Think So did think it was all about the ice-cream… and the dancing…

Rob was seeing the humour lining in the clouds:

While V was right on the money with this beautiful creation:

Gurcharan kept it simple but so profound:

While Daryl was very specific about his bees:

Zukisani brought the family vibes #FinishedRightThere:

Darren gave us a sad but cheerful reminder:

While B news was feeling particularly fiendish:

Could not agree more with Mummy’s Boy on this one:

While St. Simeon showed that he is no fool:

And this snuck through our family censor vibes just because it is so darn clever and would be amazing:

So a lot of truly amazing tweets and yet still TWELVE that stood out above them all, so especially well done for those of you who made it into our F.L.O.P. ELEVEN:
