is monopoly realistic?

I hope not, because I always come out broke.

but because of that, I think, yes, it is.

I have a Gator-opoly set. It's cool, but some of the properties no longer exist in real Gainesville. ...so no, it's not... :/

I like the green properties.  I don't know why.  They make me happy.

*passes go*

*collects $200*

woohoo!

 my text to a friend on friday night (when I left her house)

:we went directly to krystal. We did not pass go. We did not collect $200.:

(this may also explain my tummy issues, hahahaha)

and no, I did not remember going to krystals until I read that text the next morning!

 I liked the purple ones (BIG money, hahah) and the yellow ones. But the railroads are my favorite!!

I cheat to win.

I love Monopoly. I have about eight different versions.

I play as much as possible, but my family will rarely agree to playing with me anymore. Out of countless games, I've lost only once (I don't count games before age 12). xD

I wish it was realistic! I'd go into business! 

I always rule the poor section, it's the easiest to build up and make others pay! >:D

This is what I do - the purples and the light blues!

And no, it's not realistic - What kind of beauty contest only gives out $10, even if only for 2nd place?  That's hardly worth the effort.

I have a pokemon monopoly game someone gave me as a gag gift one year b/c I went to the movie theatre to see the first pokemon movie.  I thought pikachu was cute.  hehe.

Of course you do, Kathy.  Of course.

 I have Wisconsinopoly (the Badgers' version, obviously)

Several of those properties also no longer exist since it was based on campus in about the 70s.  They've supposedly redone it though.

 Um...Sterling Hall was on there, I take it.

I don't think it's realistic because I doubt top hats and flat irons have that kind of financial savvy.

 Sterling Hall is still on there.  It's been rebuilt.

 You're just jealous. ;P

Ooh, can I be the shoe????

I don't think I ever had the patience to finish a game.

 Why people are not familiar with the term "resign" is beyond me.
