Oh, the Game of Life was good times. We also played Monopoly and Sorry! and Trouble and Clue and Head of the Class and a lot of Uno. We looooved Uno.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did Helen Thomas just wake up and say to herself, "Fuck it. I'm old and I'm gonna say some outrageous shit today."?

Isn't that essentially the basis of Catholicism?
I have no idea. I was raised by Canadian atheists.

Careers was great because you got to pick your winning goal by deciding on the distribution of victory points (fame, happiness and money) and then play accordingly. I shudder to think what they did to that one.
ETA: Head of the Class was a good one too.

Trust my rage
I hate the fact that she is now retiring. I didn't hear her full remarks or their context, but her retiring makes it seem like someone thinks she's lost her ability to think clearly.

Because books.
Oooh, I think I remember Careers! I think only my cousin had it, though, not us. Also some leftover Barbie game from the early '60s which I would love to get my hands on again, just to see.
We didn't play Uno as kids, but Sara LOVES it. We play a lot of Uno now.

Never played Risk, but since Uno was a local game (created and originally manufactured in Joliet, Illinois), we played it all of the time. I even went to an Uno tournament when I was in junior high.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And I loved Risk right up until the point when I decided that I was a pacifist and opposed war games that glorified military conflict. Yeah, I was that kind of kid. I must have been so insufferable.
You should try the Lord of the Rings version of Stratego. All the war with none of the guilt.
