ALERT: GAME ON
This post is in the nature of a public notice:
One week from today, on Friday August 22, I will post three stories about myself. I will tell you at that time how many of the stories are true. I DOUBLE-DOG DARE you to PICK THE FALSIES.
I’m pretty sure I won’t be alone in this endeavor because I am following in the footsteps of true revolutionaries and profound creators - the haunted and lyrical Skullbolt Bobby and my own dear landlord, muse and co-conspirator, Patricia. It was they who came up with this sly notion and they who put it in my head, driving me inexorably toward making it a reality - and it is they who have agreed to play along with their own stories next friday too.
So you’ve been advised: next friday, three stories, one or more is not true. I tell you how many you’re looking for and you post your guesses in the comments. Monday the 25th I put up a new post with the answer. Visit my genius friends for more chances to play. Hell, put up your own stories too. Life’s too short to hold back a really good lie.
