I had recently found the blog called LifeHacker, where you can find tips about modern life like getting more out of your iPod with "ShrinkMyTunes (that was a link to the original Wired.com article). The software is available for $39.99. Considering I've only filled about 1 gig on my out-dated iPod, I don't need to take advantage of that tip.
I thought of that blog when I was surfing Hasbro's Monopoly site this evening (trying to get an electronic version to work on the new Windows Vista on the main computer). I found some Monopoly Game Tools that are absolutely necessary for the modern human being.
For example....
When I was about nine I cleaned up the bedroom and somehow managed to lose almost all of my Monopoly money. It was a tragedy of monumental proportions. No one wanted to come and play Monopoly at my house anymore. And when I was nine, about the only thing to do was play Monopoly because the Internet was a way-far-off reality. So I really needed a how-to finding more Monopoly money.
Here were are, thirty years later on the timeline of humanity and I have finally ... FINALLY ... found a solution to my childhood trauma.
If you are low on cash, no problem -- just print your own!
At the Monolopy Game Tools page they have PDF files for each of the denominations (10 bills per page).
You know, they do have Monopoly slot machines. Too bad these aren't compatible with the slots.
Disclaimer: The money I'm talking about in this post isn't compatible with life (or the Game of Life for that matter). This information is for entertainment purposes only. (I thought I'd cover myself in case before any wannabe counterfeitors try these bills in the soda machine at work.)

(they have little yellow pineapple houses rather than green houses).

Oh definitely, the SpongeBob Monopoly set is MINE.. err.. well.. I'll buy it for my son for Christmas. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Yeah, my nephew will think I'm buying it for him to enjoy. He loves SpongeBob.
ReplyDeleteYou really can find just about anything on the internet. And hey, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a site out there that taught be how to counterfeit money.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Nothing better than pinneaple houses. :D He, he.
ReplyDeleteOOoh! That Spongebob Monopoly looks cute!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Sherrie and Tricia would SOOOOO kill me if I bought that for their sons, nevermind that it would cross two gifts off the Christmas list. lol
ReplyDelete(And for the record, I hate Sponge Bob. *shudder*)
That Monopoly money site would definitely have come in handy-- though I do recall finding replacement money in the store.
L.K. - You're probably right. In a way that post of mine was a how-to primer. Someone at work jammed up the change machine at work with fake bills he'd printed. Copies of $20 bills it was said. The criminal bragged to people that wouldn't turn him/her in that they got $40 in quarters before the 3rd bill got stuck. Even if I had criminal tendencies, I wouldn't be able to fit that many quarters in my tiny little purse so ... wasn't me.
ReplyDeleteIsabelle & Jennifer - Yes, it's all about the pineapple house. When I was a kid I drew goofy houses like that in my pictures. Let this be a lesson in not imposing limitations on creativity.
ReplyDeleteHeather - Of all the cartoons my nephew watches, SpongeBob is the only one I will watch with him. But, what I don't enjoy about it is I saw the same episodes this summer that I have every summer Griffin visited.
ReplyDeleteI did bring the kid to the bookstore and buy him a book and specifically told him that next time an episode of SpongeBob that he's already seen 25 times is on, that it is time to spend a half-hour reading. He's only 7, so he told me "but I love SpongeBob". I hope he ends up loving books too.
