What stories will you be telling your grandchildren? [The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of crazy 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 [...]
When you die, what obituary are you hoping to receive? Taking a leaf out of Parks and Rec's Tom Haverford's "Treat Yo'self" day and with inspiration from my wife, tbV [aka The Beautiful Val] we came up with this week's game tag of #ObitYourself and as always everyone came to the party. Super stoked to have Hashtag game legend Lisa Taylor aka @mseric co-hosting with me and she was an amazing co-host: Her Twitterer bio [...]
This week it was Nisha Nazim aka @NishaNazim all the way from India who agreed to co-host my game... "Known to be a music junkie with a passion for singing. Bookish and I always follow my gut instinct. Just another Grammar Enthusiast who loves soccer... " Although i also found out she has a You Tube channel you should all take a look at... And once again, with a growing team calling themselves The Unnamed Ones and [...]
Is a horoscope something that affects your life? This week i had the alien-shaped [in his avatar pic at least] beautifully named Fungus the Bogeyman aka @bigstevie1967 join me as co-host to see... and what fun we had... My co-host this week was @bigstevie1967 aka Fungus the Bogeyman, the name of a well known Raymond Briggs character - whereas Stevie is just a character ! He's a total sports nut with a primary interest in football [...]
So i've been having a few website issues but holding middle fingers that it's sorted now and so we can finally do a catch up on last week's Hashtagging game which was a lot of crazy fun as we got a little weird and complimentary... ish. This week i had the incredible Katie aka @_Katiebyy69 co-hosting with me for the first time and she brought the party. In addition to her we now have a growing crew [...]
Such as a Twit of Tweeters or a Farce of Facebookers? THIS WEEK WE COMPLETELY DOMINATED! Let's just get that out of the way... Number 1 in the USA, in Canada, in the UK, number two in Australia [only cos World Cup cricket was happening] and finally, the second time making it on to the SA trend charts we went right to the top and went #1 in SA as well. South Africa's Top Trending Hashtagging [...]
Last week my internets was waging war on me and so i was unable to publish the F.L.O.P. list and so apologies for all of you whose brief but significant moment of Twitterdom fame was snuffed out. Today's game has a whole legendary crew of secret unofficial co-hosts helping me and so it should be a particularly fun and groan-worthy [on porpoise] one. But last week's game results are in and once again you brought [...]
Last night i had to tell one of my Improv team mates [who had been out of the room] that they were the Minister of Finance at a Rodeo and that the murder weapon was a piece of Bread at which point they had to 'kill' me with the bread. Only problem is, i had to do the entire thing in a made up language called Gibberish. No English could be spoken at all. I [...]
Has Bono still not found what he was looking for? With last week's #IWouldLikeToBeBetterAt greatness still ringing in our ears, we looked to the greatest rock band on earth [in my opinion, some of you clearly didn't think so, and let us know] for inspiration. Having played without a co-host i decided i needed to right that wrong and this week's host Danielle actually sent me a request asking if she could join me and as a first [...]
Welcome to the last week of our seven writer, four Tandem Post blog series. This week's tricky title was audience-sourced and provided by Tim Van de Venter. = = = = = = = = = = JUST ONE OF THOSE PARADOXICAL OBSERVATIONS "I'm the Doctor." "Doctor... who?" "If you like. And tell me good sir, who might you be?" "The name's Watson. But you can call me John. I'm a medical doctor, formerly in [...]
