What happens when you take a classic game [in this case Rock, Paper, Scissors] and give it a bit of a revamp? We decided to find out…
[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…]
So we sent out an invite as per usual and then i gave a few examples, even breaking my avoid-Trump-tweets rule cos i couldn’t resist this one:

So The Twitterer [regularly] beats Donald Trump who beats Covfefe [barely] which pretty much took down The Twitterer. #RockPaperScissorsRemake @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/idsBjcPQbT

And then we sat back and waited to see what the Twitterer would drag in and all of you showed up with some great and creative suggestions making it on to this week’s:
FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [aka The F.L.O.P.]

V nailed this chocolate-flavoured game:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake chocolate, aluminum chocolate wrap, teeth with fillings
— VeldLot🌷 ⚽ Go Red Devils 🇧🇪 (@VeldLot) April 4, 2018
Although John might beg to differ:
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
Because nothing beats chocolate. Except more chocolate. #RockPaperScissorsRemake— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) April 4, 2018
Daniel scored some carefully crafted pun points:
Roger Moore beats Pierce Brosnan.
Pierce Brosnan beats Sean Connery.
Sean Connery beats Roger Moore.But at the end of the day, they all share a Bond. #RockPaperScissorsRemake pic.twitter.com/XY8rVkmYZV

— Mister Race Bannon (@MrRaceBannon) April 4, 2018
While John has clearly had too much time on his hands, er hair:
Whisk beats egg.
Egg ruins hair.
Hair tangles up whisk. #RockPaperScissorsRemake— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) April 4, 2018
or maybe knot? J.C. had some other ideas:
Man-Bun/Fauxhawk/Combover#RockPaperScissorsRemake

While K Dawg’s positive was immediately trounced by Ol Whatshisname:
Subtweet, Block, Mute #RockPaperScissorsRemake
— Ol' Whatshisname (@taniwha73) April 4, 2018
OffTh3Cuff sung a different tune:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake
Rock, pop and easy listening— Often tweets carp and typos 🙄💙 (@0ffTh3Cuff) April 4, 2018
While Cherie had her own thoughts on that:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake Rock > Pop > Country and Metal beats them all. 🤘🤟 pic.twitter.com/Y9Lc4CZ4vu
— Cherie ♥ Ooo♫~♪oh! ☺ (@Cherie_O) April 4, 2018
X Mill is looking ahead:
Hardly working, working hard, retirement
#RockPaperScissorsRemake— X Mill Runner 🌞🌟🌜 (@xmillrunner) April 4, 2018
This one from John is almost poetic:
Finger picks nose.
Nose smells rose.
Rose pricks finger. #rockpaperscissorsremake— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) April 4, 2018
Chardonnay was in her elements:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake
Water
Wood
FireWater puts out Fire
Wood floats on Water
Fire burns Wood— 🏴Chardonnay Bucket🏳️🌈 (@CazEvansWales) April 4, 2018
While Big Shot Prof was bringing the science:
Napkin absorbs water
Water dilutes hot sauce
Hot sauce stains napkin#RockPaperScissorsRemake— Bigshotprof (@thebigshotprof) April 4, 2018
Sean gave the classic a great bit of a twist, or slice, or something:

While Grey Jen was in her own world:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake
Plastic rock, safety scissors, intangible data— Grey Jen (@JenniferRavene1) April 4, 2018
Bazza is clearly a purist:
Vinyl >Cd > iTunes
— Jalbeardzi, The Typo Pirate Yaarrrr (@Danzig303) April 4, 2018
Mark ended up feeling like this might be a draw:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake
Arm flesh wound
Leg flesh wound

Richards is clever and all, but in my opinion everything beats Bublé:

Unobtanium beats Vibranium
Plastic beats them all! 😎#RockPaperScissorsRemake— Sanjay Samuel Mathew (@SanjayMathew12) April 4, 2018
Bazza named that which must not be names but also should be cos STOPPIT:
Good game tweets > Political tweets in a game > Ranting about not doing well in a game
— Jalbeardzi, The Typo Pirate Yaarrrr (@Danzig303) April 4, 2018
So wow, some really great updated versions of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Not too many people got it completely right in terms of sharing hierarchies rather than full circles, but the entries were so fun and creative that we decided to turn a blind eye on that and be extra impressed with those who managed the circle.
And as always a few stood out from the rest and make it on to this week’s Top Tweets Top Tweets which we like to call:
THE F.L.O.P. FIVE
[5] Nirmal dropped a tweet right in the wake of the Australian cricket scandal which means sandpaper will beat ball which will beat test career or something like that #TooSoon?:
Australian Cricket Kit #RockPaperScissorsRemake @im_srishabh21
— nirmal (@nirmal88sun) April 4, 2018
[4] While Rishabh brought a classic Grandma Police complaint:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake There, Their, They're
— Rishabh Sharma (@im_srishabh21) April 4, 2018
[3] Andre brought out the Bride:
Sword
Rock
Iocane powder#RockPaperScissorsRemake pic.twitter.com/j73WUn8WN5— Andre The Compliant 🌊 (@Axiomega) April 4, 2018
[2] John gets a place here courtesy of both a great tweet and for using the word ‘ocelot’ in a sentence:
Rabbit shoots elephant.
Elephant posions ocelot.
Ocelot pushes rabbit off a cliff. #rockpaperscissorsremake— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) April 4, 2018
[1] But the winner had to be this classic truth-containing caffeine-enhanced tweet making Kevin this week’s TOP F.L.O.P.:
#RockPaperScissorsRemake
Instant, Fresh Ground, Shat out by an Animal— Kevin Johns (@Berlinseshdmtv) April 4, 2018
