"Lies I told at my class reunion" →
Here are some of the ridiculous things I told people at my high school reunion, with a straight face.
I teach game design classes for homeless people.
A few people asked what kinds of games homeless people design. I told them that this is a really exciting year for homeless people games. They’ve got this thing that they do right now when they’re standing in a circle with an empty can of beans...
