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 [...]
In the year 2000 the Baha Men released one of the catchiest songs ever. With the chorus posing that existential question: Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? And we never received the answer. 16 years later and i was still feeling a little short-changed by that whole thing, so i decided to turn to the Twittererverse for some answers. And you brought it! Joining forces with my old Twitterer 'Nemesis' and friend [...]
No_bob, No_bob, swimming in the ocean No_bob, No_bob, showing no emotion No_bob, No_bob, the world famous dolphin No_bob, No_bob, everybody loves him No_bob, No_bob, you know you want to hug him No_bob, No_bob, the world famous dolphin That is the chorus from 'The No_bob Song' which was written and performed by Serving Suggestion probably a hundred years ago it feels [but probably closer to 15] and what a fun song it is. i figured after [...]
Let's be honest... neither Sylvester Stallone nor Arnold Schwarzenegger are going to be nominated for an Oscar for appearing in a Wes Anderson movie. Quentin Tarentino is NOT going to receive an Oscar for any kind of Disney Kids movie type thing. And Adam Sandler? Well let's just stop right there. For last week's game, we thought it would be fun to take a little bit of time imagining some Oscar combos that were very [...]
"Someone get that man a gatsby!" [Fusi Nkoala] The response to a blog post i wrote about the Passion worship event on Saturday titled, 'The Passion of the Chris'. It wasn't quite everyone's response and some of the suggestions were a little conflicting with a different one strongly suggesting to me that i should "Shut up!" and "Keep my pie hole closed" [Autram Marjo Jacobs] Although to be fair Autram did clarify that it was [...]
Week two of our Tandem Blog Post series in which seven writers receive a title every week and then produce whatever the title inspires in them - had some really hardcore, emotional, quite challenging pieces from some of our writers last week - who knows what mood they will be in this week? Please make sure you click on the next post at the bottom and make your way through as many of them as [...]
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later as i have been flying high with @AFrikkinHashtag since i started hosting the games. But this game bummed me out. And it was my birthday. So not the best of presents... or presence, really. Sorry, community, but you can do better. With the advantage of hindsight i can see why this went badly, but i certainly didn't see it going in and despite inviting people to [...]
So i had a week off with some visiting friends to go on a road trip and visit the Kruger National Park and we saw some crazy amazing animal sights… but i also missed all of you and so am super ready to dive back into this week’s game… [And with tomorrow being my birthday there is […]
Another week, another great Hashtag game. For those of you who play, which is made easier on the @HashtagRoundup app, you might find it gets a little monotonous, especially around holiday times. With something like 50 different game tags a week on the app it is hard to stay original and set your games apart. But so far i think i’ve been able to do that which means typically it feels like a bit of a [...]
If you're married, then probably every day there is at least one thing that happens that makes you just smile and know why you married that particular person. But on some days the thing is more obvious and the smile is much bigger. i have had a bit of a history with airport dressing-up ever since i was greeted in the Durban airport by two of my friends [and two of their friends] in full-on [...]
