missing baltic avenue

Trabby pointed me over to this Monopoly site where you can vote on updated properties. This probably sounds silly, given that it's a game that revels in capitalistic ideals, but I'm sad to see Monopoly revamping itself. I never had a problem with the local editions of the game that would pop up now and again because they seemed like fun additions and the original stayed true. These new landmarks are going to replace the originals. I'm hoping for a New Coke size snafu, but doubt it. Gen Y seems to enjoy buying into the buzz even more than their baby boomer parents did. /disgruntled gen Xer rant

On the bright side, I can drive youngsters crazy in about 15 years by saying things like, "Whither Baltic Avenue?" and "There ain't no place like St. James Place!"

Except they'll probably both be answers in the 3D anniversary version of Trivial Pursuit that'll launch in 2021 and becomes as outrageously popular as the original.

Okay, I do realize that there's more pressing issues facing us today, but I've got board games on the brain this evening. If you're in the mood to truly take action on something, go here and help keep the internet neutral.

perhaps I should turn to you for shopping advice? What does one do when all one desires is black and the world insists on sherbet colours? Alas I am a black sweater wearer in a candy coloured world.
Woe is me

We who still wear black must stick together and be strong. Work had me researching the web today and I stumbled upon black sweaters at Banana. Some even on sale! Go forth and purchase.
