It doesn’t take a lot to start a fight these days, especially online… we decided to see what set you off and it was fun!

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 1pm South African time [6am EST] 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…]

John Lane is one of my favourite Hashtaggers as he continuously and consistently comes up with really clever or quite funny and often brilliantly misdirectional tweets and so it was an easy call to bring him back for another hosting.

As per usual i fired off some tweets to set the scene:

Hee hee and always space to throw in a zinger at my Twitterer nemesis K Dawg:

John showed us how it was done with a few of his own:

What makes John so good i think [or one of the things] is that, especially in those first two tweets, he leads us to a place and then let’s us finish the story. He doesn’t have to write the whole joke out cos the premise is so powerful it does all the work. So good. But also the obscurity of the first two is phenomenal as well. A lesson in Higher Grade Hashtagging.

This week we decided to move our trending to Vietnam.

But a few of our favourite bots also came to swing a few blows.

Then the bell was sounded and you all showed up and the match began with the big prize being a feature on everyone’s favourite F.L.O.P. list – no belt for this contest but bragging rights to make a WWE person cry into their spandex… and for those of you who made it [for those who didn’t we have another game happening TODAY!] here is this week’s:

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS aka the F.L.O.P>

Andy had every raiSIn in the world to get involved in this one:

While Dave scores some amazing obscurity points for olds everywhere:

pH1 should have known better #AlthoughHeIsTotallyRightSh:

No-one was able to save Kevin from himself:

Sassy went down south:

Chantelle went for a tried and tested family issue:

While Kat took it to another level:

Martini wasn’t going to pork-give you that easily:

Richard was simply being observational:

Niall gets it:

While Stefanie knows how to get it going:

This one i don’t quite understand:

Because surely EVERYONE prefers Friends over Seinfeld, right? [runs and hides]

i hate when this happens, right?

My wife is with Ian on this one:

Bella seemed intrigued by the fighting spirit:

While Abed picked up the most common inspirers of pugilism:

Steve B was touching on a delicate matter:

Mark’s peace seemed to be gone with the wind:

While V thought it was more of a general thing:

Lady Anime picked up a no contest:

Jeremy headed for the hills soon after:

4 out of 5 dentists approved of Steve’s tweet:

Brittni reminded us of that one time when…

Some super great tweets and a really fun game and a reminder that sometimes it does take the silliest things to get us going. But as with every game there must be tweets that fight there way to the top and it was no different this week. Taking us to the final three rounds in this week’s:

F.L.O.P. THREE

[3] No, Stan. Don’t do it, Stan! No, really Stan, just don’t! Nooooooooooo!

[2] Jimish’s chasm was formed by his sarcasm:
