After some 85 years, Hasbro retired the thimble token from their lineup. They said it’s to make the game more modern. I say it’s because of this fictional (but, true) conversation millions of times across this great country;
Boomer Dad: “Millennial Mary, let’s play Monopoly.”
Millennial Mary: “OK, Dad! Hey, what’s this piece called?”
BD: “Oh, that’s called a thimble.”
MM: “Whatever.“
BD: “You look puzzled. Do you know what a thimble is used for?”
MM: “Nope!”
BD: “You ignorant slut!”
And, thusly, the game ended before it even started.
===================
Below are the original 8 pieces (some say there were only six).
Q1: Which piece best represents your persona, or function, here on TBP, and why?
Q2: (Optional) Which piece would best represent your life? (You may make up any piece you want.)
========================
Q1: — I would be the wheelbarrow. I fling a lot of shit ’round these parts, and that shit needs to be disposed of regularly.
Q2: — Seeing how I am being repeatedly being fucked in the ass trying to sell my house …. I’m going with this one;
.
Stucky, you’re nuts. I’m more of the shoe, most of the time I’m just walking around here, and I only kick someone in the ass when they need / deserve it.
Dog. Because I like them more than people. And I like to shit and piss on things without guilt.
You stole what I was going to write almost word for word. Dam travis.
Stucky,
These exercises in introspection and self-analysis are perilous. We might start thinking of who we are at our core which might result in adjustments to our behavior. Dangerous shit. If people started to think about this sort of stuff they could start being nicer to one another. Then what? This place turns into some grown-up version of Sesame Street. It would be a catastrophe.
I’m the iron here. Don’t know why but I’m going with it.
In the real world, I’m a wheelbarrow. I’m forever hauling shit – mostly other people’s (literally and metaphorically) – to where it needs to go. And mostly because people are too incompetent to handle it themselves. Frankly, I’m growing tired of it.
I’m picking a Lead Balloon token.
As in …. “Today’s QOTD went over like a lead balloon.”
Mr. Stucky…”you craaaazy,”
that said, I admit I laughed hard when I saw your
token. Me? I am the thimble, because at present
I am darning my heel worn wigwam socks. One
cannot toss a great pair of socks because the heel
is wearing out. Not at today’s prices!!
I know what you are thinking, “We have devolved
into the Home Ec. class.” Lead balloons.
Trump is a bull and America is the China shop.
Stucky no fair whining about selling your fucking house. I told you how to sell it in 2 weeks, what, 8 months ago? Did you listen? (Crickets….)
