It looks too slick for my tastes. How the fuck am I gonna steal from the bank now?

Over the Christmas holiday my nephews broke out the old school game and I was dumbfounded when I learned that they thought the thimble was a trash can.

Kids.

Updating classic designs usually seems to fail for one reason or another. In the eighties, some genius thought he would "improve" table top hockey games by making the players remain in one place and spin around, rather than moving up and down the ice. The same sort of thinking shrank G.I. Joe from 12 inches to 4 and introduced the world to New Coke. :sick0020:

That's almost as bad as taking a perfectly good band and replacing the singer with Ronald McDonald.

To be fair when was the last time they saw anyone sewing?

Everything just gets thrown in the trash and you just get another one from China.

Anytime we would play Monopoly, the guys would always fight over the car. I always took the top hat.
