MonopolyRama

HELLO! So, after working a short stint at Calendar Club (a warehouse + distributor for calendars, games, toys, etc...) I made a list of all the derivatives of Monopoly there. HERE GOES NOTHING

  • Kissopoly (after the band, Kiss)
  • Bibleopoly
  • Rodeopoly
  • Farmopoly
  • NHL Monopoly
  • Spongebob Monopoly
  • Red Green Possumopoly
  • Nascar Monopoly
  • Batman Monopoly
  • John Deere Monopoly (my personal favourite, cause 4 of the tokens are tractors and it makes no sense to market THIS)
  • Canadian Monopoly
  • Oceanopoly
  • Albertaopoly (correct spelling)
  • Catopoly
  • Vancouver Islandopoly
  • Simpsons Monopoly
  • Dino-opoly
  • Deluxe 1st Edition Monopoly
  • Canada-opoly
  • Dogoply
  • Brewopoly
  • Family Guy Monopoly
  • USAopoly
  • Pirates of the Caribbean Monopoly
  • Seventieth Anniversary Edition Monopoly
  • Disney Princess Edition Monopoly
So there it is, 26 or something titles. of MONOPOLY. It kills me that albertaopoly, rodeopoly, and horseopoly are basically the same thing.

Youtube Battles Ep. 4: A New Hope

So I was on Youtube happily searching for live videos of one of ym favourite bands, Liars. I came across this video entitled "Atheists are vile, evil, Satan-worshipping thieving liars!!!". I couldn't resist. I watched this video. It was hilarious, serious or sarcastic. It is down right funny. So I commented. Apparently, a person commented as I was commenting and finished before me. This person needlessly, and stupidly took offence to my comment, believing it was directed at him/her.
Here's how it transpired:

mother fuker ur barking mad there is allah (swt) islam was the first religion ever on the day of ressurection you will see which religion is true .allah (swt) is great allah hu akbr.

Cowcodude (3 hours ago)
Amen, praise the Lord! *snrff* *hgnk* BWAHAHAHAHAHA...okay, okay I couldn't keep that up...You are a funny, funny man. W-wait, you were serious? So I don't exist? Does that mean I'm a ghost? Or...THE MATRIX HAS YOU!!!

mnbvcxzpoiuyt (44 minutes ago)
u tryin 2 take the piss out of me co cow dude go milk ur cow

Note: At this point I got pissed at him/her

Cowcodude (25 minutes ago)
yes I am, because I care that much about bothering some person on youtube that much. Yeah, it's not possible that you happened to comment at the moment I was commenting. Please note I was commenting on the video, not your comment. Think before you post mnbvcxzpoiuyt.

Note: Matt told me about Hinduism being the first widely accepted religion. This took research -high five for matt-

Cowcodude (2 seconds ago)
oh and mnbvcxzpoiuyt, islam the first religion? It is widely believed that early humans actually had some form of religious practice. Furthermore, Islam started with Muhammad's death in 632 CE (AD), while Hinduism, the world's oldest extant religion, is believed to be started around 5500--2600 BCE (BC). No offence to your religion though. People can worship what they want to.

Hopefully, I'll get a hilarious response. I shall fill you in. Now I need to go get a medal, and I going to make sure Chewie gets one!

1990s - You Made Me Like It

Test - Cogitare

wow, i can't believe i haven't heard of this band until now, im usually on top of this stuff...

anyways, Cogitare is a Belgian duo formed in 1989, when Guy Verhofstadt met up with Paul Vanden Boeynants at the University of Antwerp, where they were both studying applied economics. Paul and Guy grew weary of this tedious pseudo-science and dropped out, much to the dismay of their parents. Paul found a small apartment in Ghent, where the previous tenants left behind all their instruments and equipment. Although antiquated, these items would be influential in the forming of Cogitare. As said by Guy, "The moment we laid eyes on those guitars and drumkit... we knew what we were doing for the rest of our lives." They experimented with noises and sounds, until Paul finally figured out how to work the guitar. After that, the band has been quoted as having said "this music stuff is as easy as waffles".

after releasing their first hit single "Deciding On Trouble", Cogitare was flung into Belgian fame. Guy, unfortunately, succumbed to the bane of all rock stars at the time, drugs and cheap Belgian prostitutes. Paul tried as much as he could to get his best bandmate out of the sleazy underbelly of the Pieters district, in Ghent, where Guy would spend all his time in topless bars. Paul eventually convinced Guy that life was better than that, and now, the two spend most of their time painting landscapes of the Belgian countryside.

anyways, i havent been able to find much music on the internet of these guys, but i did find one song on a french post-indie blog site (where it seems all obscure music comes from)

enjoy!
