The Indignity of Being

On standing one's ground against total puddings ~ an honourable thing.

I am at war!

A war of attrition. The battlefield? MONOPOLY™.
I found an online MONOPOLY™ here no less

Very good. Congratulations on your victory. Most amusing.

One day, in the not too distant future, we shall, I hope, play a genuine board game version of MONOPOLYTM, and I look forward to it.

*****NG? Honking, perhaps? I think that there is a "honk" button that he was pressing to attract your attention. But that it just came up as text for some reason. Sounds rather mean of him to give you red, though.

Hehe, he was offering to give me the red set in return for giving him the green and the orange. It was odd that during all the time all the trades he offered weren't even remotely sensible. :D

Oh well, I do look forward to a real game of monopoly.

Another reply:

Turns out the *****NG censors HONKI because it's a offensive term for whites. The equivalent of (apologoes) Nigger or Kafir etc. There's something I wouldn't have guessed. Have you even been called a Honky?

I've also found out why the South African's and Australians call us Poms; and it's rediculously convoluted. Pom from Pommy from Pommegranate from Jimmy Grant from Immigrant. Sorted.

Returning to the *****NG, games.com also seems to censor F****VE (ForgiVE - I wouldn't have thought that Orgy would have been top on many people's list of offensive vocabulary) and SU****IOUS (SUspicIOUS - Spic being a derogative term for a person of Hispanic origin, apparently.)

So there we go. This all handily links with my "lessons to be learned from computer games", with curious insults being one of them. Honky.

You 'snapper up of unconsidered trifles' !
The headings too are 'a very good thing' and all that,
with a faint aftertaste of the blessed couple.
Your pursuit of the Bard will brimfill your picker's pockets...enjoy.
