What do these things have in common: Toyota Prius, McDonald's french fries, Motorola Razr, Starbucks coffee, New Balance running shoes?
I know. But then again, I would.

I suppose I could post the answer, but it's more fun for people to guess and then be appalled, no?

They're all people!

I know. I want to ask a question, but that'd give it away...

Eh, fine, everyone seems to know already.

They're the playing pieces in the new version of Monopoly.
posted by mudpuppie 14 September | 13:11
I still say they're people.

I thought they were going to be the defining motifs of the new version on yuppies.

McDonalds Fries? one of these things is not like the others. one of these things is doing its own thing.

I prefer Gallipolopoly and Edna Krabopoly.

I was going to say: I know, does that mean I get to pass go and collect $200.00 dollars.

Sadly, the Supreme Court's got your back on this one.

And Fenway Park will replace Park Place while, damn Yankees, Times Square has been selected as the new boardwalk -- the priciest address on the "Here & Now" Monopolpy board.

That's gonna age well. Especially the cell phone. Or is the idea that you have to buy a new replacement edition every year, just like your cell phone?

Hasbro chose not to brand all the new tokens, Blecher said, to minimize concerns that the new edition would be too commercialized.

Genius! Five out of eight branded tokens is not at all too commercialized. But six out of eight would have been wayyy over the top!

in related news, naming rights to my soul are up for bid, and we're finalizing discussions with a few key players. Expect to greet me as Cool Ranch Miko, Freschetta Miko, or Miko by John Deere as early as next week.

Cool Ranch Miko, Freschetta Miko,


Sweet! We'll be serving these in the pieisexactlythree arena, when you come to watch the Portland Specklets play the Davis Mudpuppies.

btw, I wish they could have integrated Pink Taco into the board somehow...
