A Grateful Dead cover band called Polka Round.

The t-shirts for the band say "Just Gotta Polk Around!" and feature James K. Polk as the "Shakedown Street Dude" but playing an accordion.

start a nuclear war, get a bunch of hair metal cassettes, mislabel them Beethoven, Mozart, etc, and bury them in a bunker with their biographies so that future historians think classical music sounded like Ratt.

An online battle royale style Monopoly game, where you have to play against 99 other people, and each game lasts 4 days.

i was surprised to find a rule in the instructions about auctioning off any unowned property whenever any player lands on it. we've never played that particular rule. and i think it would solve the problem of long games, which is the thing everyone complains about.

Lol yup. I remember finding that out when I was 15 and being like WE'VE NEVER DONE IT THAT WAY to my friends

yeah, in general, Monopoly is substantially better and quicker when played by the rules (though still not great imo). it becomes a long and miserable experience, paradoxically, as people try to lighten the experience with house rules like the near-universal skipping of the forced-auction system, and the addition of the Free Parking cash bailout, which actually just drag things out. i think instinctively people want to "soften" the game, because most don't really enjoy the mechanic of players being eliminated one by one in a game that's this long. but it all just ends up prolonging everything. (i really don't like Monopoly.)

it's a shitty game

Yes, Monopoly def belongs itt as someone's terrible idea.

The original version (which was stolen) was actually intended as a criticism of capitalism

Feel like that message still comes across.

whoever owns all the property at the end, saves the day and becomes the town's beloved mayor. the mayor gives everyone free housing and pays for everything all the time. mr moneybags becomes known as "mayor generous-bags" and universal free education is provided for everyone from birth until death

but still, some on the far left contend that mayor generous bags has not been mayor "generous enough"

there is/was an office furniture company called hayworth that had a custom monopoly game made for its employees i guess? or customers? anyway it's called hayworthopoly and it's really fucking cool. we got it for $3 at value village and played it about twice.

the players are pieces of office furniture

I'm sitting on a Haworth chair right now ("Lively") and I played Monopoly with my child and spouse this afternoon

always wanted to form a doowop group that sang nothing but insults

hahaha

i hope it would be the bass singer who delivers the best/worst punchlines every time, in a thunderingly low octave

or the same insults again, but now in a spoken-word section, invariably beginning with "darling," "dearest one" etc.

Actually I kinda did that once. I sang that song with a quintet once for choir senior year and my best friend Joe was in it and he'd just got fired from Steak n Shake that day.

We were warming up by performing in front of our classmates and I started it

Tesco (or whatever supermarket) should do a Spotify unwrapped style end of year round up where it dissects your shopping habits in a condescending tone: "2021 was all about the Value Beans"; "That month where you tried to go vegan. Didn't last long did it? Don't worry, we won't tell anyone!"; "You sure eat a lot of chorizo for a family of *consults inordinately detailed customer dossier* one person" etc
