They say Truth is relative but we say that there are just some Universally Accepted Truths that can’t be denied [well, not by us anyways] and so we decided to host a game to try and figure out what those were:
[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…]
One Universally Accepted Truth is that we at AFH started out this game by getting the invites out and the ball rolling:
