I make people hate me when I play monopoly. I hate the game as much as I hate the system it was originally meant to mock. So every so often, people I know will keep trying to get me to play.

Monopoly Pro Tip: buy everything you can afford, put as many of the little houses you can on it, but don't upgrade to the big pieces. When there are no more small pieces, you can simply bleed everyone dry.

I've had people literally flip boards in anger.

And every time I hear someone say "that's not fair", I respond "I know it's not, But 'what's fair' doesn't matter in capitalism."

Yes, I get a little preachy with it.

But hey, I've almost never been asked to play again by the same person.

When I was 19 I wore a vest as part of a musical, and due to cast parties and such, I was walking out at night wearing the vest loosely over my shirt.

Some random woman walking by said "that vest looks really good on you!"

I kept it and wore it at least once a week until it fell apart.

I would like a new one, though. Purple and black paisley and/or lace is my jam.

Matthew 6:5

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But of course, none of them have ever read these words, that would require reading the Bible in some form or another.

You should see the things Riker gets up to in Quark's holosuites.

I don't think the universal translator will even allow me to tell you.

Nope, not me.

I'd like to think I'm funny though...

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn't posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?

That would be chef's kiss.

Bonus points if he then tosses them into the sun on live TV.

Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because "they used to live there 2,000 years ago"

Apparently I'm an "asshole", "woke" and "antisemitic" for bringing up native Americans...

My wife would be freaking out about two minutes after she realized I hadn't come back inside, I wasn't answering my phone, and I wasn't in any of the usual places around the house.

Everyone else? Weeks.

Yeah, but if he can drag two leaders that are purposefully driving their people to war into the sky and toss them around a bit until they agree to sit down and talk until they come to an agreement, he kind of has the responsibility to do it.

And the rest of us get to see idiots get juggled.

Even a single drop of water raises the ocean.

I hate any prominent onion flavor in my food, and it took me awhile to taste this one.

I miss the days when onion articles were less like reality.
