Well the first annual Monopoly championship has come and gone. And yes it now has been given the title first annual. As it turns out we only had a quorum this year, 15 contestants. However the two rounds of Monopoly goodness was exhilarating.
For those unfamiliar with the monopoly championship rules. (Ha or the monopoly rules in general). Here is a link to the tournament official rules. The main difference from any other Monopoly game, you have to play by the official rules, and rounds are 90 minutes long. (Yes I did just here a sigh of relief from the quasi Monopoly fans).
Upon Review of official rules things which are new to me
-Mortgage requires an extra 10% payback
-Once you are out of houses, no more can be sold
-Property is auctioned immediately if not desired by someone
-You can build or trade at any time
-You don't role again to determine the payment on utilities
-You can build houses and trade at any time, not just your turn
So there you have it, start practicing and prepare for next year..
So there you have it. The scores racked up, and in the end, the out of towners dominated this year’s game. So see you next year, get your trash talk ready, your ghetto properties loaded with hotels, and your dice throws practiced.
... And prepare for the Risk Championship this fall ...

Sounds like it was a good time.
So I was riding with a group of people last week and we crossed the AL state line and there was this big rocket at the welcome center, everyone in the car was really puzzled why Alabama would have a rocket at their welcome center. But I proceeded to explain that their is a NASA center in AL. Nobody knew that, at the time I thought it was funny that nobody knew that, but then I realized that the only reason I knew it was bc of misconstruedthoughts. So I would like to say Thank You bc Misconstruedthoughts has given me an opportunity to make it look like I know what I'm talking about for once :)

Thats what we are hear for ya know ;)... to educate the masses.
And not only is there a NASA here. This is where NASA Started.
And for the biggest surprise fact of the day...
If Kennedy didn't get shot, there would be no JOHNSON SPACE CENTER in houston. It would have been at Marshall... In that case it would have been... Huntsville We have a Probelm.
