Over at MeFi the other day, somebody made a reference to “losing The Game.” A link was provided, so naturally I clicked it, and discovered that I, too, had lost The Game. I wasn’t even aware that I had been playing The Game, but I was - just like you, at this very moment, are also playing The Game. The rules are simple:
RULE 1: You are playing The Game.
RULE 2: Whenever you think about The Game, you lose.
RULE 3: Whenever you lose, you must tell everyone.
And like all good Games, there are strategies, variations, and swag. Oh, and if The Game is just too abstract for you, perhaps The Nose Game is more to your liking.
