The
Story
By
Mike Wathne
For those of you
who don't know, this is how this whole thing got started:
A few weeks ago I was checking my email
and I got an idea that I
thought was funny, I would make up a story and send it out
to everyone I
know and see what would happen. I proceeded to tell
everyone that my
family was going to be having llama meat for thanksgiving
instead of turkey and then I made up some blatant lie about
how me and my brother were going to rip the horns off the
llama as a substitute for the traditional thanksgiving activity
of breaking the wishbone. I titled the story, "no turkey
for me." A few days later I was very surprised
to find out that everyone had believed my story even though
it was completely false. So I then sent out another
email to everyone that had gotten the first one, telling them
that the story about the llama meat and the horns was not
true. The next day, REDACTED sent a reply to me and
everyone who got the original first two emails, making a little
joke at my expense. I proceed to draw a REDACTED.jpg">funny
little cartoon about REDACTED that made fun of his job.
Then more and more people started joining in, making jokes
or comments to each other. The original list had about 20
people. Then I was blessed with a forward form heather
hippenhammer that contained about 20 more email addresses
of new people so I then added them to the list. Then
a few more people were added to the list (and some have
been taken off by request) to the point where there are about
40 involved in the game right now. The game is fun yet challenging
because it requires a little bit of wit and cunning to think
of a sharp yet tasteful make fun of a friend. It is
also risky because with every time you make fun, you are exposing
yourself to be made fun of back.

REDACTED)
