So the Protea cricket team took on the Indians at Newlands in Cape Town this week - first of three tests. And we won convincingly, so that was fun. DRESSUP FOR NEWLANDS It has become a tradition for tbV and me with my friend MJ and whoever else might be with us [looking at you, American former housemates!] to pick a theme and go to the cricket dressed appropriately. So last time was Star Wars: [...]
We continue with Part II of #AnimalTopTwentySongs [For Part I, click here] where we move beyond the trends and celebs and bots to the tweets that really matter, those made by YOU... that's right, so many Fish List of Prizeworthyness [F.L.O.P.] tweets that they could not be contained in just one post. There were really a whole lot of super good and amazing and funny and clever tweets in this game and this list is [...]
i normally run the Top Tweets list a few weeks after the game but #AnimalTopTwentySongs was such a hit i felt it needed to happen this same week to celebrate the momentum...

2017 was a hard year for a lot of people and also the shtupids were out in full force and so we looked to encourage people to up their game with a tag called #ICanDoBetterBy [The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am 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 [...]
Because people tend towards stupid [seriously, check the science, or the Darwin awards], we need warnings in life... but also because people tend towards silly [check out Crocs, seriously stop that!] some of those warnings might be a little bit different. We decided to explore that a little bit in our latest Hashtagging game...

When it comes to genies and wishes, the first two tend to get all the fame and attention, but in the absence of being able to wish for more wishes [read the small print] we wondered aloud what would you do with your final wish? You know, once you had already used up the two good ones? [The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am EDT] an inspired and growing [...]
At @AFrikkinHashtag we pride ourselves on being creative in our Hashtagging which is why you will never find a Trump tag [except the one that was #NotTrumpOrChristmas [which you have to admit is pretty creative!]] and i don't know if we've ever done a word limit tag [we certainly don't limit words in our tags, ha ha] and this one was a classic as Jess climbed back into the co-hosting seat for a game where [...]
We know that people love to make excuses for everything. But what if we were able to tune into the excuses that animals might make? How PUNderful would they be? Turns out very. Very PUNderful indeed.

With all the seriousness happening in the world at the moment, we thought we needed to go light-hearted for a moment and so we invoked the gods of pun and misdirection and invited you to ask us if we'd heard the one about...

Way back in the day our game #AutocorrectASentence was one of the most times we had experienced and so we decided we needed to drag Auto Carrot out of the closest for one more goad: The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am 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.
