They make no sense to you or me, only to the person who created it and their friends. For example, I saw one variation of Lunar Lander where you need to land a crab on someone\u2019s, let\u2019s say Debbie\u2019s, head.

And it must have been a lot of fun for them to include the picture, and then have an easy way to distribute it to their friends.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Saturday I&#8217;ll be jumping on a plane to San Francisco.
