This is hot !!!

[OldLady]

I would imagine that the doggy and the kitty will be in the most demand, since 1/2 of all households have a kitty and 1/3 have a doggy.

Why are we suddenly going to animals rather than common household items. AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BOOT?

I would like to have seen all animals.

This would then teach the kids biology:

A fish.

A salamander.

A frog.

The dinosaur is perfect.

The doggy and kitty are perfect.

An ape.

A man with a shovel.

A woman with a dress.

There -- that's 8.

But Hasbro surveyed people and that's not what they got.

Everyone hold their horses a minute! There used to be a man mounted on a rearing horse. No one has mentioned that.

I don't remember any such "cowboy".

Sorry.

My sib's were really good at Monopoly and I was always a bit afraid to play it with them.

They would usually beat me.

They would grab and mortgage every property they landed on.

This would give them enough money to grab everything almost.

Then they would bargain shamelessly for other players' property cards.

When they got possession of a whole side of the board they were like tax collectors with no mercy.

I could not beat them.

They were too ruthless.

But they were not smart enough to play chess.

I could easily beat them at chess.

I know this is off topic, but it must mean something when all the tokens I used to choose have been retired. ALL of them.

Here is what it probably means:

Your mentality was/is completely different than that of modern kids.

Fair enough ?!

That really really sucks.

That it would "suck" is a bit premature.

It just means there is a difference -- this would be a finding of fact.

That it might be better or worse is a matter of opinion only.

Don't be so harsh on yourself.

Poker enhances your people skills by teaching you to read others by their behaviors. I have learned more from poker than from any other game.

Well which one is it?

I see all the original pieces and their variations.

Your Internet link works, yes.

In poker you are actually trying to win something.

In other games you are just passing time -- just like the Chinese babes in the hall of the Emperor there.

Modern poker is a variation of a Renaissance French card game called "Poquer" which means "wallet".

You are playing for the contents of your wallet and others' wallets.

For all of you who ever used an annoying vague title for a new thread, this is really hot !!!

Monopoly kicks out three classic game tokens

Sad part is I heard this last week actually I'm surprised Monopoly is still sold how can we allow these one percent board game people take advantage of the poor board game people.

Fun is fun.

You can bet your bippy that negro ghetto kids are not playing monopoly.

Probably no poor white trash either.

They play kick the can. They can't even afford marbles or jacks.

Ok yah ... I see the cowboy now.

No, I don't remember that one from my Monopoly game back in 1957.

 

[yiostheoy]

Kick the can was poor kids' soccer. They could not even afford a soccer ball. I knew (in the biblical sense) a lady (unmarried female over 18) who played kick the can in the Boston ghettos for the Irish as a little kid. She told me all about it. She said they were so poor they had to shoplift candy.

It was Aron Nimzowitsch the famous chess author (My System) who said, "we play games because God also plays a game."

I never understood the meaning of the top hat until I joined Freemasonry.

The boot could also be construed as a portkey.

You mean, like the Old Woman In The Shoe ?!

Harry Potter.
I think it represented a hobo. Old Depression era symbol.

"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe;

She had so many children, she did not know what to do ... ".

That's all I remember from that rhyme.

Query: where did all the kids come from ??

"... she had so many CATS, she did not know what to do ..." would have made more sense to me.

There was an old woman, who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth, without any bread,
She spanked them all soundly, and sent them to bed.

Clearly, she had children the natural way. And she was prematurely aged from having joyless, procreational sex that resulted in several consecutive pregnancies.

Thank you ricechickie you have a really good memory.

Better than mine.

Back in the 1950's they used to beat kids a lot. I remember.

The rhyme seems to reflect that.

I always wondered where The Old Woman In The Shoe -- where her hubby was.

Since my sib's and I had a mom and a dad I figured everyone did.

And I already knew since the age of 2 1/2 where babies came from because that was the year my baby sister was born in the hospital from our mother's tummy. We listened to the baby's heartbeat the day before our mom went to the hospital.

Now just in case you thought I was also a moron like yourself if you are given to these annoying habits, here is an informative summary as well.

According to todays noon news, the following icons will stop being included with the Monopoly board game:

- the boot

- the wheelbarrow

- the thimble.

The new icons will consist of:

- a ducky

- a dinosaur

- a penguin

The icons being retained are:

- the doggy

- the top hat

- the race car

- the kitty

- the BB ship.

I don't remember the kitty from childhood. It must have been added more recently.

I do remember all of the other ones. I thought there were only 7. With the kitty there were 8 however.

How about a phuck?

Well if you like them young you could ask ricechickie .

If you like them old you could ask OldLady .

If you want them both at the same time that is against Moses' laws.
