I can’t believe that Monopoly is going to be discontinued. Why don’t they just get rid of the paper money? That sure seems like it would give it a fresh feel. ---

[QUOTE=saoirse] No, I think Jim’s ears may have just popped. [/QUOTE] Could be. 🙂 The whole thing is amusing, though I still want **mobo** to come out and take the joke well. I mean, the whole thing was downright funny, and if we can’t laugh at ourselves we may as well take a long walk off a short pier right now. ---

Can we get back to the Democratic circumcision issue here? Will they pay for them differently now? Like maybe, with some sort of electronic assistance or something? ---

[QUOTE=A Monkey With a Gun] **FUCK!** Parker Brothers is discontinuing Monopoly?! Don’t they know that every time they update something they are robbing me off a piece of my childhood?

Godamighty, I can’t believe this thread hasn’t been closed yet. The whole board is falling apart. Mods are resigning in droves. And you people just keep fiddling like it’s Hee Haw. Somebody needs to get Jerry. Or Mr. Ed. Or Sisal or somebody. What ever happened to that Giraffe guy? Fuck! This whole thing is going to crash any minute now. ---

[QUOTE=tbdi] Its a result of the Patriot Act. Paper money doesn’t leave enough of a trail to track the terrorists so all transactions must be electronic starting with board games to get people used to it. [/QUOTE] Duh.
