Alliterate an adventure? They said it couldn’t be done. But we said, there in no ‘couldn’t’ in ‘alliterate’ and we were right…
[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 week it was the turn of Cheryl (@cherylt2000) who has an incredible story and a compelling blog [go hunt it down!] who had played AFH on a number of occasions and had tweets which stood out which is often when we start stalking… #InTheNicestOfWaysOfCourse So she eagerly stepped into the co-host seat…
As per usual we sent out an invite and some examples and then invited the crowds to come and play with Alliteration feeling like quite a challenge, but one the throng [yes, we have a throng, not to be confused with a thong] quickly took to and with skill and fervour:
AFH tends to avoid Trump tweets simply because of the overdonedness of them, but for this game we could not resist:

To be absolutely honest, any of the above tweets could have made it into the Top F.L.O.P.s this week because you guys brought your alliteration A game [except maybe Kesha cos of her being my nemesis and needing to keep her humble and all] but as we played the game there were some that even soared above the masses of brilliance and make it on to this week’:
F.L.O.P. ELEVEN
[11] Cooking Gal got all literate with her alliterate:

What a great and fun game and to be honest i was not surprised because AFH players will surprise you every time you think there is a challenge that’s going to be too high. You guys crushed it for this game and gave us a lot of LOLs and much Wowness at your skills.
This game would not be complete though without this final word from the Cookie Man:
Help! Have headache having to try to tweet to this twisted tag! #AlliterateAnAdventure pic.twitter.com/QFej4lPgsS
— CookieMan (@pcook102) February 7, 2018
Great stuff Cheryl and amazing work as always from the absolutely amazing crew of not only co-hashtaggers but friends that i call The UnNamed Ones because otherwise i’d have to type out way too many names.
Thank YOU for playing and we will see you at the next game which happens Wednesday noon South African time and 6am EDT…
Keep the WIT in the Twitterer – much love, brett fish and friends
