      Shoot, my genius wife whoops everyone's behind at monopoly to the point where nobody will play with her anymore. Somehow (Because the universe likes her better), she manages to buy up all the railroads and screw everybody over as we go 'round again. With a smug look like "pay up sucker" :cool:

        Only to end with chocolate-chip cookies :D As long as we are different, we will be treated as such. Woman and men should be treated equal, but that doesn't mean erasing all that makes us different, or trying them to become the same thing.

        I disagree. I'd open the door or give up my seat for a woman more so than a man (although I do it for both). I also won't be as sarcastic around women because they tend not to get sarcasm as much. I also won't knock a woman around when playing basketball like I would a man. Nor will I flirt with a man. :-D

          Because I want game night to end in political debates with a couple of fights and at least one couple filing for divorce. And that for a game that's already notorious for sparking fights[^] :~

                They should call it "Divorce". *now goes and checks the thread to see if someone already said it*

                When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

                            Even that's overpriced. You don't need to write down your cheatinghouse rules at all to play with them. :rolleyes:

                            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
