I just lost the game...

I had to throw this out there. It has invaded my fencing center, and is in the process of taking over my division.

Allow me to tell you about a new game, The Game.


You are always playing the game.

The only way to win the game is to forget that you're playing.

If you remember you are playing the game, you lose the game, and you have to announce to everyone in the area, "I just lost the game".

If anyone in the vicinity does not know about the game, you must tell them about the game.

The game has a cool-down period of 5-30 minutes, in which time you should have forgotten about the game, after which you can again lose the game.

The game ends when the Prime Minister of Great Britain announces on television that he just lost the game.

The rules vary and are flexible. Some say the "cool down period" isn't a set time (if you think about, how long has it been? well, it doesn't matter, you just lost The Game). A few people I knew "kept score?" points based on how many people in the vicinity you caused to lose, imo that's bogus, but w/e. I have been playing The Game for atleast 6 years, and I hadn't heard the Prime Minister bit, however, of course, it's just another version of the rules.

I have also heard, you are not allowed to tell someone about The Game or the rules, unless directly asked; you may only anounce your loss.

In conclusion, I lost The Game.

Thank you for reminding me...

Another rule in my version is that if anyone doesn't know about the game, you must explain it to them. A different version, I guess.
