When it comes to genies and wishes, the first two tend to get all the fame and attention, but in the absence of being able to wish for more wishes [read the small print] we wondered aloud what would you do with your final wish? You know, once you had already used up the two good ones?

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am 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 week it was the turn of @JMoney731 to jump into the co-host’s seat [that was our second wish actually!] and jump she did:

@JMoney731 hashtag game genie wish

 

 

 

 

 

 

We sent out an invite and a couple of examples:

[always an opportunity to keep that pineapple on pizza debate rage fuelling]:

And the game was afoot, or a-lamp, or something, and we super quickly trended and became a hot hashtag cos, wishes:

In fact we made our way all the way to the top of the pile [first wish granted!]

And even hung around for quite some time:

We were visited by a bunch of our bot friends [yes, we have bot friends!]

And even got mention on the Today show, you know, as we do…

But you didn’t scroll this far down NOT to see the F.L.O.P. – that delightful collection of some of the Top Tweets that made us smile, laugh inwardly and even on the odd occasion which we would never admit, chuckle out loud… so let’s to this week’s…

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

Despite the small print, there is always one, or in this case about a gazillion of you, and Jimish was the first to try and sneak this order through:

While Richard tried an even sneakier must-be-a-loophole-surely approach – nicely played!

And it was never going to be too long before Lisa visited to stir up some trouble [seriously threatening K Dawg’s nemesis status]:

Jimish was back with some crafty misdirection:

While Mr Weasel came up against one of the most immoveable obstacles:

Richard brought the puns and the misdirection in one which was we thought was relativityly good:

While John won all the women on the internet – all of them – over with this:

While Baz we feel may have wasted one of his [if only Ger Bear had been closer]

i would so be going over to visit Paul regularly:

Tali was also trying to ‘tweak’ the system:

 

Meanwhile John was just feeling practical, or perhaps evictworthy:

Big Machatini was just wanting a decent meal:

While Crystal had devious thoughts in her mind:

Peter was after the simpler things in life, and then totally unsimplifying them to his own ends:

While KD was planning ahead:

Missy P had hers all figured out:

While McSmitty had a sense of regret:

And Jester was not too far behind:

While Mark wanted his wishes taco [which you probably have to say out loud to get the full genie-ous affect of]

While Brian seemed to be reaching a little too far:

Mr Cheeky was all about those tunes #WhoLetTheDogsPout:

While Lola seemed to be wishing my wife’s dream out loud:

Hälsa had a great one:

And Joca was very specific:

Mr Cheeky was back trying to make the world a better place [for you and for me]

Elizabeth was very much thinking outside of herself:

As was JD:

So Wow, seems like a lot of you were really getting the business out of all of your wishes – but, as with most weeks, although the tweets were amazing, some of them just seemed to rise to the top, giving way to the Toppest of the Top as we look to this week’s

F.L.O.P. SEVEN

[7] Helen was concerned that she had worked herself into a semantical corner:

[6] Jimmy wants what everyone, and particularly the Spice Girls, wants in life:

[5] While KC was feeling a little devious and naughty:

[4] While Cheeselatan called for a simple and profound thing:

[3] Holly had a wish so many of us would be right behind. #CancerIsABeast

[2] Creolegrits spoke something that should never have to be a wish #ComeOnWorld

[1] This wish, however, in the face of some really great wishes, felt like the absolute winner crowning @MrHoldDisL504
