I was either the dog or the guy on a horse. I notice the guy on a horse wasn’t on your list…an oversight? Or did not all Monopolies have this piece? Happy ---

I always tried to get the car, but would settle for the hat. ---

The top hat, the racecar, the man on the horse, or the cannon. Never have played with a set that used the steamboat or the bag of money. ---

I was always the dog. Well it was the only piece that could logically be able to move around the board! (as I didn’t like cars…still don’t, and we didn’t have a horse in our set.) I guess I was a pretty literal minded kid. Now, after years of exposure to Dada, I’d probably be the iron. ---

I forgot the horsie…sorry… If I played with my brothers, they would try to run over my dog. But, I would get revenge and have the dog piss on their pathetic properties. ---
