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.
