Depends. Is “Little” an adjective, or a surname? I’ve always assumed the latter, but I supose it’s a matter of interpretation.

Nitpick - I believe that should be, “Clue…I has one!”

I like “Chickens little.” It has a nice, archaic feel to it.

It isn’t our fault that Monopoly and Clue are being replaced by a combo game that involves using a cashless system to pay for murders done by candlestick. Blame Hasbtel.

(That is what the OP said was happening isn’t it?)

Oh hasmat, if they never started making Monopoly in China, it would not have had lead paint, and they would not have had to discontinue this beloved game. Curse you Bottom line oriented CEO’s that outsource manufacturing to China.

Anyway, “Chicken Littles” is clear and easily understood, while “Chickens Little” feels unwieldy and archaic to me. I think pedants on either side of this one don’t have a leg to stand on.

I warn you: I will not be afraid to mention Bush or Clinton again. I suggest you capitulate.

128

:eek: No, please, people, there’s no need to do your capitulating right here in the thread with everyone watching. Get a room.

But you haven’t said what you think about them discontinuing Monopoly. Now why is that? Because it is all a big Liberal conspiracy, that’s why.

Anyhow, Monopoly comes with a gun and only Liberals would want to ban guns. So there.

I hate it when people don’t capitulate. I mean, how hard is it to use the shift key?

Isn’t that Rich’s brother, the farmer?

135

Rich Chickens? Never heard of him, but then I don’t listen to country & western much.

136

I played Monopoly once. Three weeks later, we decided to call it a draw.

137

I played Monopoly once, but gave up in frustration when this Rich Little guy started stealing all of my artists’ work on some electronic banking system called the Interweb or something.

138

So, does this mean I should keep my old Monopoly game, and base my retirement plan on its future antique value? Or maybe just the money?

Finance is soooo confusing.

Tris is being discontinued. :eek:

That’s true. I read it on the internet.
