I really want to play something that isn’t going to confuse me, and I suspect the lost sheep game is going to… what is it you do with bills, fit them or fill them? Do you know, imaginary Walter Mondale murder puppet? No, you don’t. You don’t know because you aren’t real. Back in the imaginary Walter Mondale murder puppet bucket for you, then!*
Well, whatever it is you do with bills, I am expecting this lost sheep game to go down as follows:
1) I lose a sheep.
2) I look for that sheep.
3) I locate that sheep, resulting in cheers, applause, and the procurement of more tang than a space astronaut.
It is possible the game will vary significantly from these constraints, but man, I really hope not.
* Internal dialogue had by me about this paragraph:
“Dude, you’re taking this paragraph to a weird weird place, and I’m not sure your audience will be willing to go there with you.”
“Oh, come on, man, I’m just letting off steam after playing The Blind House! Mainly, though, I really like the sound of ‘Walter Mondale murder puppet.'”
“You have a point. Can we put him in a Walter Mondale murder puppet bucket?”
“I believe we are obligated to, yes.”
“Hey, if two Walter Mondale puppets fight a robot in a bucket, and that robot’s made of rubber, and the bucket’s full of blubber, and the blubber’s getting sour, and the robot’s using tires, and the tires are on fire…”
“It’s a rock-’em sock-’em sour blubber bucket Walter Mondale murder puppet rubber robot dire fire tire battle. Yes.”
“And if Frodo’s involved?”
“It’s a rock-’em sock-’em sour blubber bucket Walter Mondale murder puppet rubber robot dire fire tire battle for the fate of the Shire. Come on, we can’t put off this Bible game forever.”
