The Twitterer absolutely loves Betty White and she is never going to be allowed to die, so we decided to work together to create some bucket list items for dear Betty to tackle next…
[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…]
It was high time we had another African co-host @AFrikkinHashtag and with @kutu_michael being recommended, i think by Pirate Bazz, he said yes and we quickly got working on what was going to be a really fun game.
As per the usual, i sent out an invitation and some examples:

And it was game on and we had a crazy bunch of amazing tweets and picked some of the ones that we liked the most to appear on this week’s:

Max got us started reminding us that if we really have to replace Hugh Jackman in his iconic role, there is only one way that’s going to realisticaly happen:

We love Betty White and so what a great way to honour and celebrate her and thanks to everyone for playing and of course @kutu_michael for co-hosting this absolutely marvellous game. Shouts and coughs to The UnNamed Ones who were as great as always and to the @HashtagRoundup app for the space to play.
See you at the next game and with Daylight Savings kicking in that makes it 1pm South African and 6am EST on Wednesday. Til then, as always, keep the WIT in the Twitterer.
love brett “Fish”
