"Who wants to play Monopoly?!"
Anyone who has never played probably jumps to the opportunity to play a new game right away, while the rest of us respond in grumbles and head shakes. Those of us who don't know how to have a reasonable reaction to such a question might throw a chair.
Let's face it; Monopoly sucks. It just does. It's maybe fun for the first 10-15 minutes (20 is pushing it), because of the anticipation that you're going to a) be the banker, b) school all of these bitches, and c) own *ALL OF THE PROPERTIES!* then realization quickly seeps in. This game gets way too complicated and dreadfully boring. Parker Brothers realized that people stopped playing Monopoly because many of us turned into that unreasonable reaction guy and one too many chairs went flying through windows, so they had their brainstorm sessions and thought of a new and improved Monopoly- Themed Monopoly. From television shows, music editions, states/countries, decades, etc, etc. There's even Zackopoly. What the fuck is that?

Breaking Bad Monopoly might get me intrigued, but that's where it stops for me. It's still the same sucky game that takes up the whole freaking day. And it's not like I'm going to be making meth with Walt and Jesse, the premise of the game never changes, the board might, along with the game pieces, but it's the same game.
Not only is it horribly dull, it's stupid expensive too. Suck it Monopoly. You too Parker Brothers.
Moving on
Why do people continue to say, "If money weren't on object..." Do they know what a GD noun is? Money is most definitely an object. Now if they said, "If frivolous spending wasn't a concern..." I'd get behind that. But then again isn't that the American way? Up to our eyeballs in debt because we like shiny, new and pretty? Yet always concerned about where our dollar is going...
We are crazy, the lot of us. Crazy.
I'm house sitting for my mom while she's in Arizona, taking care of her monsters, Holly and Winston
Look at the smile on this little shit's face...
Winston is facing the camera. Typical Holly has turned her back on me.
While I find these two to be mildly (I use that term loosely) entertaining, feeding time is...an experience. These two go bat shit crazy, they stare at me like I can't see that they're wasting away to nothing and why am I not doing anything about it?! ARRRRRGH!! That's the closest I can come to to making frustrated Pug noises over the internet. It's much more garbled than that because of the pushed in nose thing.
Pugs are lemons, which is suitable for the Newlands Clan, as we are a bunch of lemons. The biggest difference is those of us who are upright on 2 legs are not nearly has high maintenance as these two rolly poly sausage dogs with their stick legs that always get you in the most sensitive of areas when you're trying to nap. While these two don't have this habit, apparently pugs are known to lose eyes...like they just pop out. If H & W know what's best for all of us, all eyes should remain in their rightful place while I am there.
I was having a pretty crappy day the other day and I admit, these two cheered me up quite a bit. And they aren't malicious, there's no poo surprises in my shoes in the morning. I appreciate that.
Being in the town I lived in off and on for 7 years (+/-), I've been reminded of why I moved. Sorry if you're a big fan of Covington, but as I lived there as long as I did, it's not for me. It's too far from the city, plus the amount of time I take just traveling to and from work is ridiculous. The other day I realized at 9:30am I had been up for 5 hours, but only at work for 2. That sucks. Seriously bummed me out.
On the up and up, I go home tomorrow night. "Woo, Woo! Whistle Tips!"
