Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill this Thread V: the 24 hour version!

Originally, Monopoly was sold without any pieces. Players were encourage to supply their own, with items from around the house.

Incidentally, the horse rules all, with the wheelbarrow a close second.

I liked the top hat, I guess, because of Lidsville. Charles Nelson Reilly played Hoodoo, a dastardly villain who could could turn his top hat into a flying machine.

Ah, Lidsville. Along with HR Pufnstuf and The Bugaloos, this show could be excerpted in a documentary called Better Living Through Chemistry.

Definitely Weirder Living Through Chemistry at any rate.

Rockhopper Lad, You forgot Sigmund and the Sea Monstars

Good point. Rip Taylor as Sheldon the Sea Genie! That was--interesting.

Bah, I prefer Officer Big Mac and Mayor McCheese. But the lawsuit quashed them disn't it?

I thought it was the cholesterol.

"Quash" is a sadly underappreciated word.

Put an "s" in front of it and it becomes slightly more appreciated.

If you like autumnal vegetables, especially.

When a kid, I didn't like squash (actually I still won't eat it mostly) So when my mother would make squash pie (because we had lots of squash from the garden) she would say it was pumpkin pie and then I would eat it. Now I actually prefer squash pie to pumpkin pie.

I never had a problem with eating my vegetables as a kid.

I like some veggies better than others, but the only one I've never really acquired a taste for is eggplant.

I like eggplant in marinara sauce (especially as part of a lasagna), but it can't be good for me.

According to family lore, when I was a baby I ate everything. But then I heard my brother & sister saying "yuck" to different foods, so I started saying "yuck". The irony is that they now eat pretty much anything and I am still fussy.

I remember one time I was having dinner with some friends and we realized that all five of us liked Brussels sprouts, which, we figured, was kind of unusual.

Brussels Sprouts are trendy now, though. All the glossy cooking mags have featured them.

Damn. Now I want some squash this weekend. I saw the displays while volunteering on Tuesday and they look fabulous.

I can't think of any vegetable that I avoid all the time regardless of preparation, except Iceberg Lettuce. And that barely even qualifies as a foodstuff, anyway.

I liked Brussels sprouts before they were cool!

me, too!

In Brussels they just call them "Our Sprouts"

Actually, in Brussels, they are either called "chou de Bruxelles" (cabbage of Brussels) or "Spruitkool" (cabbage sprout), depending on whether one speaks French or Dutch.

Sure go ruin a "good" joke.

I'll do my best.

You'll need to tell one first though.

A JOKE

Q: What happened when the coprophile saw the unflushed toilet?

A: He went cock-a-hoop.
