#1553 ..Nothing much to say....well..except..everyone cross their fingers for me that I get my promotion that I just interviewed for today! (mo money mo money)

Speaking of Monopoly, Hasbro last year re-released an edition based on the 1935 deluxe edition of the game, the year they took over manufacture (well, Parker Brothers did, and they were bought by Hasbro in the 1980s).

A lot of the board looks the same, except the blue community chest icon is missing, it was created later, and there are NO prices on the individual properties!
The cards are based on the original as well, and some are quite different.
Also, the income tax space on this reprinting is 10% or $300, rather than the later 10% or $200.

#1555...has anyone figured out what the little love buttons are for?

The love buttons are supposed to calculate the "love" between you and whomever else's love button you click on. According to Lilith, it's some calculation that changes from day to day, based on letters in a person's name.

#1557...Dadaist...I'm under you again...we must stop meeting like this.

Why's that, you'd rather be on top, Eliza? ;)
By the way, we have "44% love" between us. :P

#1559....well that's what lilith says...but I think she just likes the thought of all of us playing with our love buttons...
