Well, friends, tonight is the night. For the fifth time in my life I will squeeze into the Ziegler home with 35 other wild-eyed board gamers and play Monopoly . T'will be a house crammed full of merriment, I reckon' (yes, I did just use the word "t'will"...and not like the sport coat material). Anyhoo...
For the uninitiated, the Ziegler Monopoly tournament works as follows:
1. 6 players at each board
2. Randomly placement for rounds one and two, then placement is determined by overal $$ and rank for round 3)
3. $5 entry fee per person, meriting varying levels of Target gift cards for the best finishers.
4. Nathan's sister Kristin destroys everyone. She doesn't win every year, but she's always at that "top 6" table for round three. Those Ziegler's are pretty competetive. It must run in the genes (like diarrhea...runs in the jeans). Puns are so much more difficult on a blog.
Below are some examples of the cards I hope not to draw this evening:

Who knew the long arm of the Los Angeles Police Department stretches even into the realm of Parker Brothers games. Do you feel safe?
I have finished in the money every year, but I've got a bad feeling about tonight. If this blog was really cool, I could have up to the second score updates. That would be sweet. It would be like ESPTim.com. Anyway, ya'll will just have to wait until Monday to find out the results. Wait on pins and needles.
