No monopoly on Monopoly…
Apparently there is an out of control population problem among aging Monopoly pieces. One game piece will be voted out and a new one selected.
Is this not equivalent to the deployment of Death Squads for table games? Which piece will be euthanized? The Thimble? The Iron? The Top Hat? I feel I was completely blindsided in this matter. I missed the memo.
I think Colonel Mustard should lure those responsible for this scheme to the library and whack the hell out of them with a lead pipe.

RIP Abby, dear.

Powerful pencils…
From Malone Tumlin on the Power of the Pencil…
Bill Neville or other GSU publication friends: I still have a few of
these great pencils. They are my favorite pencils. Fun times editing the
campus art magazine, poetry journal, and the year book turned magazine.
Campus life was so great. — Malone
