It's official. Today at 12 lunchtime South African time, @afrikkinhashtag launches the first official on the @HashtagRoundup app South African game with a bid to get South Africans in on this game phenomenon that has been sweeping the world. As i explain in more detail in my post 'Is it at a bird? Is it at a plane? NO! It’s @AFrikkinHashtag' the basic premise involves someone presenting a tag for the game, eg #DifferentEndingsToHorrorMovies was one [...]
So there’s this little thing called Hashtag games [which i wrote this article about for 1Africa.tv] which i got into while i was in Americaland. Someone comes up with a clever Hashtag, something like #WaterACelebrity and then anyone in the world who is on the Twitterer plugs into their creative minds and tries to come up with clever or witty responses. So examples might be: Sea-gourney Weaver, Drip Torn or Harrison Fjord. […]
“I wish I had the balls to do that, I thought, as I enviously watched the juggler.” [Brett Andy] SAYINGS My favourite saying guy in the world is a guy called Jack Handey… if you don’t know who he is, then you probably have not hung out with me long enough. […]
No, that's not a mistake. This is a follow up post to the 'All's Well That Starts Well' post from Friday, where i spoke about a secret comedy show preview that was happening sometime [Friday night] and gave a bit of a taste of what it was about. So basically this beard: And this completely lack of a sense of hairstyle [at the moment - i'm in limbo]: Gathered together with three other guys names Graeme, [...]
Heidi Segal selects the poem 'Father William' by Lewis Carroll and invites Erik [with a K] to give it his best: https://youtu.be/jPVGAADuO8s Did that deeply move you in places you didn't even know you had places? What poem would you entrust Erik [with a K] with if you were given the opportunity? [For more of the classics read by Erik [with a K] in his special way, click here]
Boundaries Emma was dead. I mean, she got that, she really did. Although to be fair, it had taken her quite a while. But, in her defense, this was completely different to anything she had experienced before, and so recognising it was perhaps not such an obvious connection. What was so distinct about her present state, 'Was this a state? A condition perhaps? Or do you have to be alive to be in any form [...]
So one of my new favourite virtual [for now] friends, Dante, whose incredible Micropoetry can be found over at Original Dante, challenged me to a duel [well kinda, cos he already pulled his trigger in his own fight] which i had already kinda done in someone's comment section, but there is no verifiable proof, so i decided to take him up on it... OD is the reason i got interested in, and brave enough to [...]
i would like to introduce you to Erik [with a K] Sometimes when i am bored or feeling extremely creative, i like to disappear so that my alter ego, Brad Fish, can take centre stage - among the most popular things that Brad Fish was ever good for was a series of Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect videos lovingly known as DTYCLE where he warned us about all kinds of things we might have [...]
Amy Benn requests the poem 'Timothy Winters' by Charles Causley and Erik [with a K] gives it his best shot: [For more poems with Erik with a K, click here]
It is a fairly strange thing for a guy to list ‘Hair’ as one of the 100 highlights of his life, unless you’re David Beckham and have David Bekham type hair i guess?
