Gripweed posted:It was originally called The Landlord's Game, and came with an alternate set of rules where if one player did well, all the players prospered. It was meant to show capitalism as terrible and predatory, and promote an alternate economic scheme called Georgism, which was popular in turn of the century America. I have also listened to The Dollop recently. We should rob Loomis. For anyone who isn't familiar, The Dollop is a bi-weekly podcast about American history, and one of the recent episodes is about The Landlord's Game. It's a good listen if you're at all interested in the topic, and/or just want to be smug about Monopoly to people.

Rolo posted:This is my favorite joke in the show. I like the joke where Brian is going on Bill Maher's show (something to do with being a smug rear end in a top hat) and he got mad about the candy bowl because he had told them to get rid of the gray ones. It was a good one-line joke, nobody drew attention to it, and the scene moved on. It was very un-Family Guy, and I think that's why I like it.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:I believe the finnish word for finns is "magyarok" If you're not already aware of it, you might like The Dollop. To quote the intro: "I, comedian Dave Anthony, read a story from American history to my friend, Gareth Reynolds, who has no idea what the topic is going to be about." Sometimes Gareth reads a story to Dave, and when they go to other countries, they do stories from those places. Live episodes usually have a guest, and usually cover lighter/weirder stuff and people (notable exception: The Animal Horrors of MacQuarrie Island). Baseball episodes are good, too, even if you're not a baseball fan (I am not).

Grassy Knowles posted:Oregon the state or the municipality in Wisconsin? Wisconsin is very cosmopolitan. It has a Denmark, a Luxembourg, a New London, and a New Berlin (pronounced with the emphasis on the Ber- instead of the -lin), and probably more that I can't think of at the moment. I'm sure other states have them too, I'm just more familiar with the ones in my home state. All of those places are little villages with barely anything there.

OPAONI posted:Christmas albums are never good and are only made when a performer needs a quick paycheck for zero effort. The Payday Christmas album is good. Phoneposting or I'd link it but "If it has to be Christmas" is legit.

Gripweed posted:There are still some fetishes with very little porn representation, and far more fetishes with no high quality porn representation. It's a very solvable problem too, with so many fantastic artists struggling to find work. We really need the National Endowment for the Arts to step up and start providing grants to artists to service underprivileged fetish communities. "I'm looking to commission some erotic art. I'm an ear, nose, and throat guy." "Oh, you're a doctor?" "No."
