Actually, the traditional Jogo da Bolacha is also a thing. If you're in Portugal and someone asks for you to join, YOU JOIN. It's extremely rude for foreigners to refuse the Jogo da Bolacha. Specially if the inviter winks at you. It's also good manners to announce you'll loose the first few times, while you learn. If people are surprised by this just smile, lick your lips and say you're the Cookie Monster. You'll be accepted among us very quickly.

Okay. You. You're a sneaky sneaky one, you. LOL That comment made me laugh so hard.

So, sadly, with my internet-ruined mind, I kinda guessed this when someone said "cookie game." Over here in NA it's called "limp biscuit" (like the band), and knowledge of the concept alone is enough to hope it's just an urban-legend joke and nobody's actually played it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

"I am the Cookie Monster" ROFLMAO!!!

Messed up, but really damn funny. XD
