Yeah, the Oranges are great. I always seem to find Pacific to be one of the most-landed-on properties in the game, though (green, first property after Go To Jail).
This must be what going mad feels like.

I also hated Monopoly, which is a shame because I love all the wacky variants you can buy: I saw one with lighthouses on this trip, which I would love.
I don't think auctions came up when we played since pretty much everyone would buy what they landed on. I think we played that you could trade properties, but definitely not the aberration that is $$ for Free Parking.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had never heard of the Free Parking thing before playing as an adult, it makes for a very different game. The few times I managed to win were probably due to big Free Parking scores, so I can't come down as too much of a purist about it.
Other contentious rules: not being allowed to buy property on the first lap around the board nor collect rent while in Jail.

Is anyone else shamefully addicted to iPad game "Rock Vegas"?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Nope, I'm still making my way through Angry Birds. I've gotten the big birds now! And then I can do Seasons. I don't know if I want to do Rio; it sounds weird and movie tie-in-y. But I will probably want more Angry Birds in my life, after all.

Oh, I've been playing a ton of Ticket To Ride on the iPad. Anyone else have it? Love to play people, instead of bots.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You can play DDO online for free. (am I annoying yet?)
Just now I was playing my halfling barbarian and I ran into someone playing a half-orc rogue.
