the monopoly one may become outdated, i saw a commercial for a credit card version of monopoly, no money you just charge up your fake ATM card! No more counting 300 $1 bills while figuring out your income tax! :)

#1- always hated this game, now i know why! :D #2.One of my favorite cartoons growing up, now i know why! :lol: #3. Not surprised, although with Bush in the Whitehouse and the Republicans in congress, our money is worth about as much as monopoly money! :evil: #4 This is bull cocky! I cant read small print to save my life. And the wife cant hear shit. Or maybe she just aint listening :oops: :lol: #5 I hate green. That was a very good executive decision. One of the few in the last 100 years!! :twisted: #6 I hope not. I would like to think there are still a few things out there yet to "experience" :D/ Of course that would have to be on the receiving end or observing end, definitely not the giving end. At my age, Im lucking if i can get my tongue to venture past my lips, let alone stretch to touch one of mine or anyone else's body parts! :shock: #7 Where the hell is this Alaska place????? People live there????? Your bullshitting right? :smt015 #8 Dont worry Bush is working on that number for us. He's trying to get it down in to the teens before he leaves, so no worries :twisted: #-o #9 Ah shit we blue by that number years ago on our pooch. I think that since we had kids, she's trying to compete with them to see who can be the most sick and demanding. :smt026 #10 I freaking hate to fly...and now i know why! :lol: :lol: You forgot #11. The Bat owes WonderWoman a PM going on over a week now!! :oops: My apologies, but like my tongue, my PM answering abilities are directly related to my geriatric state of being. in other words I'm a slow as bastard!! :lol: :smt021 Nice list WW! :-) - BAT
