Speed-die Monopoly; faster but more evil

I got a tournament-approved Monopoly “Speed Die” from a guy on ebay, then we started a game using this third die. Not sure if we will vote to use it in the future. The future looks dicey. The speed die does one of four things, three of them good but the last one very bad!…

I want FASTER Monopoly, not this monstrosity

NeverJetHot1 year ago1 year ago01 mins

I previously posted here about our experience with the https://www.neverjethot.com/posts/speed-die-monopoly-faster-but-more-evil/ – We like to move things along, because of short attention spans I guess. So imagine my dismay and morbid curiosity when I saw this sadistic Monopoly game on DeviantArt; If this becomes a real game, buy stock in Kimberly-Clark, because there will be tears.

Before Monopoly, there was “The Landlord’s Game”, very similar yet it seems more foreboding than the current versions.

EEEEEE!!

Playing Wordfeud with my sister. I have a really lousy hand here, there are five E tiles! I’ve almost cornered the market on the letter E for this game, the whole set only has 12. Should I hoard them to deny her access? Hate to swap tiles, but there is not much to work with…

Maybe I should have said “tiger”? Pictionary fun

We have been sort of confined to quarters by bad weather, so to keep from going all REDRUM! we have been playing Pictionary. Now, every time we open the Pictionary box, I am confronted by the the drawings from earlier games. This picture is pretty obviously “Deodorant”… … But this one took a while to…

That’s $50 a Beatle!

I know some ladies who obsessed over the “Fab Four” back in the sixties… Any of them would be delighted to be gifted with this game…. A complete “Flip your wig” Beatles game will run you $200 or so on eBaY. They used to play the whole Beatles catalog on the radio once in a…

Stranger Things Eggo Game; It’s evil Uno

NeverJetHot5 years ago3 years ago01 mins

Got my son the Stranger Things Eggo game, we played it once, but it’s basically overcooked Uno, The twist is that your character card gets flipped during play, and if it’s in the “upside down” you have to get it flipped back before you can win. The instructions are to keep playing until only one…

■ 7/4 Teresa says some dude blew his thumb off, but I don't know where. That dude will never hitchhike again!
■ A "Life hacks" email I get says to relieve headaches, eat a teaspoon of mustard! Can you imagine? Maybe Grey Poupon will do something for constipation? ("poupon")
■ I cleared the bathroom sink drain with Liquid Plumber. It was very effective, but now the bathroom smells like a poorly run municipal swimming pool.
■ HOW DO DOGS TELL TIME- Our dog has a huge appetite, the vet advised us to give him a mid-day treat of frozen vegetables, which we do at 2:30- Now the dog pokes me with his nose PRECISELY at 2:30 every day. It makes me wonder what other things he can perceive that I cannot.?
■ Sept. 11 2023 ANACORTES WA • Anonymous party called stating that an elderly female neighbor was beating several carbon monoxide detectors with a hammer. Officers located smoke detectors in the garage smashed next to a frying pan with bacon in it. The homeowner stated she was cooking bacon and all the alarms started going off. (Don't they have reset buttons?)
■ More warped prose in this old Stephen King book; "Opal! Diamond! Sapphire! Jade! I smell Gary's Lemonade!" I wonder what his parent-teacher conferences were like?
■ I WAS on YT and ran across an outfit called "TypingDNA" - Serious big brother stuff here! Here is what it does. "By continuously authenticating your workers’ identities by the way they type on their devices, ActiveLock mitigates threats that arise with remote work such as fraud, device sharing, and unattended devices — giving you peace of mind that only trusted users are accessing your company’s computers."
GEEZE LOUISE I am SO GLAD that I am retired, discarded from the rat race back when rats stood a chance of winning.
■ I have half a mind to make some Jello, but put grapes, carrot peels, and other kitchen castoffs in it. Like they do at the juvenile detention facility.
