For Park Place and Boardwalk? Lame. Everyone knows that the Oranges are better. . . .

Who would even bother offering to buy Park Place and Boardwalk from someone? Maybe as a joke or if you're playing a six year old, but it is a waste of time to try to get someone to break up a monopoly, much less sell it whole to you.

I want it so I can buy it for my price not yours. Who the heck taught this guy to play Monopoly? Justice Souter?

If you want to win in Monopoly, it’s very simple. Just own the orange and red properties, and all four railroads.

Sub-Prime mortgage fraud on Baltic Avenue.
And he pulled a card demanding bribes to Dodd and Frank.

Now you know we’re in a Depression. Monopoly got its start and became popular during the Dirty Thirties.

If these two were married, he’d be in jail for days, lose custody of his children, have to vacate his home for good, and have to pay the wife 60% of his salary for life.

Did he assault her with an iron, automobile or the thimble?

I once threw my six year old son against the wall when he quit playing the right way and tried to open a “store” selling the unused game pieces.

I suggest a defense based on the precedent set in Kelo v. New London.
