Re: “Portland as Fuck”
I've been saying this shit for years. The best financial decision I ever made was not going to college and doing the opposite of what I was told I should do growing up has worked out fantastically for me.
Re: “Monday Morning Pointless Office Argument of the Day: When Does Brunch Start and End?”
Lunch is the meal eaten in the middle of the day. Sure, that might mean noon if you woke up at 6, or it can be 3 if you woke up at 9. And if you're eating brunch, you probably woke up after 9.
Re: “Hot Dog in Spaaaaaaace!”
A worthy effort Sarah, but these "Let's launch something into (not really) outer space!" stories got old a few years ago.
Re: “Pacific Rim Trailer: YES.”
I still wish he'd made The Hobbit. As is, I'm still debating whether I even want to see it tonight.
Re: “Apparently, Bret Easton Ellis Is on Twitter”
He's right about one thing: Point Break is the best thing she's ever done.
Re: “Sam Adams Will Finally Shave Gross Mustache”
I hope for your sakes Sam Elliot never sees this post, or he'll suddenly switch to reading Willy Week.

Re: “I Fixed Monopoly For You”
My fixed Monopoly is better. It has no dice, no player elimination, no realizing in the first 30 minutes who will win. Just straight up business tactics; which is what the game should be about.
AUCTION PHASE
Shuffle the property cards and put out twice as many as there are players. Rearrange them from least to most expensive. Auction off the least expensive half.
TRADING PHASE
Negotiate trades with players for the properties you want to try to monopolize.
BUILDING PHASE
Build any houses and hotels on properties you have monopolized.
INCOME PHASE
Get whatever money you would normally get if someone landed on your property. Regular rules apply: triple for monopolies, more for houses and hotels.
TAX PHASE
Players are progressively taxed on their income. The richest player at 50% and the lowest player at 20%. This keeps things balanced so there's no run away winner.
RINSE, REPEAT
Do it all again until all the buildings are gone. You will progressively be buying up more expensive properties. The person with the most money wins.
