The Game

[Nadir]

You just lost it...again.

But dont worry,you always can start again ;)

[Doggie_Wood]

?????? din lose squat

[Annika L]

I can't afford to have lost it...I've worked too hard and too many people have died or gone mad for all of this to have been in vain! Look at them out there, there in the streets! They don't even know. They don't even suspect.

For their sake, this cannot end here. I'm going to fight, I tell you! I swear, this time I'm going to fight...and when it's over, *nobody's* gonna tell me it was all for nothing!

*sobs* No more starting over.

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

I lost my sanity years ago, does that count?

Life is a Game, but it's meant to be played to win. As long as you play the game with honor and integrity, no one can tell you how to play, but when you do, make Damn sure you play ta win...;)
Cat
(Ps If you cant win honestly, then resort to tickling...LMAO)

[Annika L]

I *knew* I could count on you Kit-Cat. I knew that you of all people would understand!

*puts a can of Cheez-Whiz in her handbag* Now lets get those bastards.

[TwylaTwobits]

I sat here going what did I lose that I miss....hmm virginity? Nope....my keys.....on occasion but always turn up. My sanity....yeah I miss that the most. But I figure it puts me on par with the rest of the world.

*Resolves to buy more Cheese Whiz and join Annika*

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

Can I bring some Cheez-its and share them with Nadir? Him cutes...*Dirty ole Lady grin* :bigrin:

[MarieDelta]

No. Not if it's Monopoly,cos I really kick ass at that game... But... I get to be the shoe.

[Doggie_Wood]

MMMMMMMMMMM . . . . . . . . Cheez-Its?!?!?!?! <snuggles up next to Cat>

Route 77 runs North to South.

Recently, I have been undergoing lots of intense therapy. Three out of four mental and behavioral health professionals gave me the, "you're perfectly alright" spew, which included the gut wrenching and sick little patronizing grins. You know, telling the patient they're fine so as to not arouse their suspicions of it being worse.

The fourth guy comes right to the point. "Listen up a-hole, you're so screwed up I don't know where to start." I thanked him for his honesty. He smiled and continued, "Along with about 98% of the world's population. Truth is, we're all human and capable of making flops. Here's the trick ..."

In earnest I believe at two it left to wander about, the mind that is. Not really missed it terribly so, except on holidays. Starting over? Guess at times I feel like a chameleon. Each minute, change abounds.

[Canticle]

What game? Cricket? The game is Cricket!

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

Kisses Void's furry muzzle on da way out......
Silly Cat.

[Bi_Druid]

You swine, I was doing so well. (takes an amnesia pill so I can forget about The game and start playing again).

[darkeyes]

I lost it the day I spoke my first word.. and every time I open my gob I lose a little more..

[brutal_priestess]

Bah, I always win in the end. I may lose a few rounds but I always, always make something work, even if I have to improvise.

[**Peg**]

uh.

what the hell is this thread about? :bigrin:

[Nadir]

Hehehe,Im glad to see that you liked this thread :) Allright,I guess it´s time to explanations. Firstly,I just wanted to follow an old tradition that I have about posting topics with little or no sense to see what people´s reactions are. And the second one,I guess you will find the explanation of The Game in this wikipedia article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)

It is a mind game...and the only way to win is not to think about it. I discovered it the other day and wanted to share it with you. Hope you are more skilled than me at playing it...I have already lost a thousand times.

I must say I really liked all of your anwers :D I must do this more regularly (posting about random topics with no coherence, I mean :P). You guys are lovely to talk with.

And Cat,I think you are very cute too ;)

[Bi_Druid]

damn, You made me lose again! Still at least now everyone is aware of the rules. You are all playing and you have all lost!

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

*Blushes deeply* Thank you Darlin. Does this mean I get to share Cheez-its with you and Doggy Both?
Happy Cat, Happy Cat...lol :bigrin:

Actually, we did things like this in my Sociology and Psyc classes all the time just to see the crazy, random, responces we'd come up with. Its fun. :}
Cat, off to fight the good fight with Annika and the Cheez-whizz...lol

[crazy_cat_lady]

first of all.....DAMN YOU! lmao:bigrin:

secondly let me explain what "THE GAME" is. but as soon as you find out you'll be playing it forever so if you dont want to play dont look at the rest ot this post!

****

The game

when ever you think in your mind the words "the game" it means that you've lost it, and you have to say out loud that you have lost the game and it doesnt reset for 10 minutes(which is what the OP ment by "you can always start again").

in essence if you think of the game you lose it. So to everyone who plays the game the OP made us lose. And yes you will play for the rest of your life until you become senial and perminently forget about it...its the only way to win.

****
end explanation

I hope I explained that understandably and I can and will answr questions.:cool:

[Nadir]

Haha,of course I would love you to share Cheez-its with me and Doggy (if you don´t mind, that´s it :)), the more the merrier and I like to see people happy. I was not aware that you studied Sociology and Psychology at college,Cat,that´s the same thing I am studying at my university on my hometown :D By the way,thanks to crazy_cat_lady above me for helping me to explain the rules of The Game. Im sorry but now that you know all about it you are all playing :) Actually,I never thought about that, maybe if you become senile and forget all about The Game in your late life then it means you have won. Well,that´s one for senior citizens :) My congratulations.

And I will post more random topics soon ;) I am getting many ideas from this forum, I must admit there are some very interesting people and opinions around here. Every day I think I am more glad to have found this site.

[rissababynta]

Well...didn't the OP lose to then? LOL! I don't know about you...but if I'm typing a first post about "The Game" I would be thinking about it :tong:

So...we all suck. Bunch o' losers haha.

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

RISSA! Welcome back Sweetie! Hope you are feeling better????
And Nadir, there's Lots of things ya'll dont know bout yer Cat. *Naughty wink*;)
Cat

[CatRocks]

DAMN YOU :PPPP

[crazy_cat_lady]

No problem. If I must suffer the game until old age then I might as well not be alone while doing it. so Nadir...how did you start playing?

I started at AnimeBoston

[Nadir]

It all started with Wikipedia...or with TVTropes, I cannor remember it quite well,the memories of that evening in which my life changed... XD I am not an active player,because sometimes I forget about The Game itself for days or even weeks, but when I remember it I sure get mad at myself XD

[Bi_Druid]

It started long before the internet.

It's one of those games that no one really knows where it started anymore.

One of my most embarrassing losses was when visiting a friend at her work place, and someone else coming in announcing that she had lost. eventually, and explanation was put forward to which I responded "oh right, we used to play a game like that back in first school...shit!"

Btw, DAMN YOU! making me lose every time I sign on :P

[Annika L]

All this psychobabble about some mind game is actually just a mind game to distract us from the actual game, which is much more serious and much more insidious, but for which explanations of the rules are strictly against the rules. Fortunately, some of us aren't so easily distracted.

*radios to allbi that it's about time to release those flying monkies we captured last year*

Forget the flying monkeys...it's time for Poppies:

"And now, my beauties, something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye, and soothing to the smell. [cackles] Poppies... Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleeeeep. Now they'll sleeeeep!"

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

Oh thank God its the monkeys..I was afraid you were guuna say the winged Purple pigs....ewww..

Antsy Cat

[void()]

Grrrr dag nab it !!! Not again! Hm, I'll fool ya. I'm gonna only think about one thing, not the other thing hehe. You'll never guess I'm thinking about Cat's cute butt. Or is it my boyfriend's smile, full of wonder? Hehe, I don't need to think no stinking other thing! Ha, got it pat now ... Shit! Damn it. Y'all stop talking bout that other thing.

[Annika L]

PS Hey Annika! When we goin Bastard hunting? The Cheez whizz is getting restless in my back pack.....
Antsy Cat

When the Whiz gets restless, the rest had better whiz outta there! Cat's got a Cheez-bomb and it's ready to blow!

*pokes head out of hole in ground* Cat, I thought we were each in our respective fields, Whizzing at bastards as they arise. Shall we team up? Lunch next Tuesday? Ethiopean and Cheezits? Then back to my place for a little...hmmm, Kel may question that...oh well, you wouldn't want to be around me for a while after Ethiopean and Cheezits, anyway. Ok, I'll wait for you by the newspaper stand, and we can meet up for some Bastard hunting. I have a friend who has a cabin in the woods...lots of bastards roaming around there...it'll be like spritzing fish in a bucket with Cheez Whiz.

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

Oooooooooo! Fish spritzing!! Oughta be made an Olympic event, in my humble opinion. And the fish kinda get off on it too.....Perverted lil things. I'll meet ya by the stand, and bring soft pretzles and ranch dressing and hot cheese. Hope the CheezWhizz doesnt get jealous.....:bigrin:
Cat, ready ta rumble.

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

:eek: Void! Yer ooglin my butt again!! You cute lil Bad Boy you....lol
Blushing Cat

Well, I am human ... duh. So yeah what if I was? :)

I can read menus even having diners at home. Nothing really says you can't. If it looks good, I can say so. So. :)

Guess this answers the 'what is your fetish' thread as well. "Void is something of a butt man, apparently." <chuckle> I really do enjoy all the parts, though I guess butts get me every time. I'm weird. So? <g>

Well, gtg work is calling.

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

LOl Well you can look at my menu all you like, Hon. Just dont get too close to read that fine print. I dont wanna go jumping up on da table when that cold nose touches warm ample skin...LOL:tong:
Cat
