With Elon Musk shooting cars into space, we know that the time for living in space can’t be too far off. So we decided to get ahead of the pack with this game…
[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…]
As per usual we sent out an invite and threw out a couple of our own ideas just to get the [space] balls rolling:

We did a little bit of the trending and a couple of our favourite bots dropped in to play:

Everything you know about My Space Invention Would Be is wrong.

And we even cracked a Katy Perry song, so you know that’s legit:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe is trending right now. Here's its tune! https://t.co/bDmukR74nZ
— Trending Tunes (@trending__tunes) February 28, 2018
But, of course, as always, you didn’t come here to read about that stuff – you came to see if you made it on the most enviable of envy lists that the Hashtag Galaxy knows… that’s right, it’s time for this week’s F.L.O.P. or as we like to call it:
THE FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS
Erin got us going with this true [on so many levels] tweet:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe out of this world.
— RiotGrl✨ (@ErinLea7) February 28, 2018
K Dawg popped in to ruin the ambience by suggesting pumpkin-flavoured drinks – WHAT???

Mikeala was feeling a little overwhelmed by the scope of the challenge:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe useless because I'm just a hashtagger and not an aerospace engineer
— MikealaSunshine (@Alohababe2011) February 28, 2018
While Daniel was thinking of the children:
Gravitational Pull Ups, for the little ones. #MySpaceInventionWouldBe

While Rowan was Hitchhikering his ideas in:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe the Infinite Improbability Drive
"Look, if such an invention is theoretically impossible, then it means it's logically improbable. So all I have to do is work out just how improbable it is, feed this to the machine, give it a cup of hot tea, turn it on!"
— RowanBuchanan-Brown… 🐸 👻 (@buchanan_br) February 28, 2018

— Bree (@loser_bree) February 28, 2018
Zeeppo was forever being the clown…. supplier:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe A self contained throwing pie that would not break up when you hit someone with it. Clowns in space will need this sort of thing.
— Zeeppo (@Zeeppo) February 28, 2018
While Nope really seemed to have her suggestions in the bag:
A plastic bag you put old clothes in. Put out in space, vacuum sucks air out and voila, easy storage. I’ll call them Earth bags. #MySpaceInventionWouldBe
— ummm…nope (@NopeUmmm) February 28, 2018
Jaime was really milking this suggestion:

— 🍍Ellie🍍 (@hazeleyesgirl2) February 28, 2018
While Daryl got a little existential on us:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe A machine that validates the feelings of space rocks. There is no meteorite or meteor-wrong.
— Daryl Deliberately (@DarylALTA) February 28, 2018
So many great tweets and yet we even had some which F.L.O.P.ped a little topper than those, so let’s hear it for this week’s Top of the Top which we call:
THE F.L.O.P. SEVEN
[7] Rob was up first with a very necessary and pain-reducing offer:
"In space no one can hear you scream" plush Lego bricks, that are foot friendly.
— Rob (@GenericZA) February 28, 2018
[6] Gal made her way onto this list with a fine little p.s. pun:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe a device to make love, not warp…
— 1cookinggal 👩🍳🍰 (@1cookinggal) February 28, 2018
[5] James’ idea seems completely original and unlikely to have four sequels and maybe even a fifth:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe A guide book that helps hitchhikers that constantly get panic attacks while traveling through the galaxy.
— James O'Neill (@reelDealONeill) February 28, 2018
[4] Richard was also smoothly dropping some quality punnage:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe a list of dead planets…
We could call it an “orbituary”— Richard H (@FeeBooths) February 28, 2018
[3] Jeremy’s idea was a cycle, of sorts:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe a cloning device. That way I could send my clone to work, and I could stay in bed. At least until the clone killed me, and made its own clone so it wouldn’t have to go to work. @AFrikkinHashtag
— Jeremy (@Kryptomovies77) February 28, 2018
[2] John was calling on his upper-class historical root lineage:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe a teleport, for transporting televisions and port only, as its Latin name clearly suggests.
— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) February 28, 2018
[1] While in first space, um place, was Ry Ry for the winning pun in a galaxy of puns with this classy:
#MySpaceInventionWouldBe lunar cheese pizza, but you could add pepperoni if you wanted something meteor.
— RyRyTags (@RyRyTags) February 28, 2018
Amazing stuff yet again, some might say “out of this world” [particularly Erin, i think it was] but well done to all of you and look forward to seeing what you have for us at our next game, which as you know is Wednesday noon time for South Africans and 6am EDT for those of you who prefer your time like that.
As always, keep the WIT in the TWITTERER and let’s keep AFH the number one African Family game that we know and love.
Yours hostily,
Brett Fish and an ever present UnNamed Ones crew of legendaries…
