I have no idea why my font size got so large. Frankly, I’m a little scared to post this, just in case it grows…

But that was freakin’ hilarious. There was NO mistaking that you, in fact, were the dog.
My sisters and I always fought over the dog. Iron was my second choice, because you could run it smoothly along the board for however many sqaures you advanced…just like you were really ironing!!! We didn’t have the bag o’ money in our set.
Such was the awesomness of the battleship.
The iron? Nobody could be the iron! The iron had to sit on the pile of money in the middle of the board.
I liked being the shoe. Everybody else fought over the car, but I liked the shoe. So shoe me.
I dunno, might have something to do with the ‘size=5’ tag you’ve got there…
I was always the car. Well, not always. I seem to recall that the car was kinda popular, so sometimes someone else got it. In that case I was the horsie.
[sub]I agree with lorene. That was hilarious[/sub]
Almost always the battleship. My brother always used the dog. Others got the leftovers.
I was the hotel.
Did it bug anyone else how everything was a shrunk down version of something else, except the thimble was really a thimble? If a dog was 1 inch long, shouldn’t the thimble have been about the size of a small pea?
I always wanted to be the “puppydog”.
Wow. Haven’t played that game in about 20 years…
This sounds like a Therapy Moment.
I didn’t care, I just wanted to own the orange and red properties.
My first Monopoly set didn’t have the horse , so I was always the dog . When that set wore out and was replaced , lo & behold… there ws a horse , which I immidiately claimed as mine.
Hi ho Silver… AWAY !!
I am always the dog. Like Shirley Ujest I use the doggy pee all over everybody else’s property. Course I also like to sniff the “butts” of the other pieces when I land beside 'em. Or, if I land in jail, I like to howl while I’m there.
I’m kinda annoying to play Monopoly with. 
Well we lost all of the original pieces except for the hat, horse, and car. So, we got better pieces. A blue rock, a penny, a play-dough flower, a clay eye, a plastic archer, a plastic snowman. I don’t have any piece I always use. My dad is always the hat, though.
We would mix and match pieces from [i[Clue*. I was the pipe wrench.
Also: Colonel Mustard in the Lounge with the Dog.
I was always the Man on the Horse or the Dog.
It’s not to scale, Lisa.
I was the car, right up until I realized it was faster to just randomly designate a person as winner before starting, thus saving three hours.
My siblings and I would always fight over the Man on the Horse–only we called it the Statue (notice how it looks kinda like a park statue?). Whoever was fastest on the draw got it and left the others to fight over the alternates (usually the iron, the car, or the thimble).
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You are sick.
I like it.
I can’t believe I missed this thread! I was the horse, then the train, now it really depends on the set… Queen Amidala, a tornado, taz, pikachu, R2D2…
I don’t know what was going on that day - I remember trying to italicise “dog” (because that’s how it sounded in my head: “I was the dog”) but no recollection of touching the little size tag dropdown menu. And I certainly didn’t do it manually, but I quoted myself to check, and there it was, plain as day. Weird.
And I’m taking yet another gigantic risk right now, posting while near my infamous “insomnia drop” - reaching the brink of exhaustion in my insomnia loop that I simply pass out. It’s posting roulette.
Let’s hit submit and see how I do.
