Y'know, I've been tempted by this thing on most of the times it's been up. Unfortunately, I have a weird complaint about it... I listen to a lot of AM radio, and it lacks that tuner.
[19] aw shucks!
[18] Mr. Pot calls out Mr. Kettle, yessirree and yes, I read the SC blog. I'd love to be a cheap liberal lawyer, buyt the cheap side couldn't afford my not-so-cheap fees.
[35] I think we're close to the end. Trash has often been the last item, but it has also been the second- or third-to-last item multiple times as well. I can only think of one or two instances where trash appeared in the middle of a 'thon, or more than once in a 'thon, but I may be imagining those memories...
I find it funny that have this product for sale since earlier in the Tangathon they offered a Sansa mp3 player that was deemed "an IPod Killer". If everyone bought the Sansa then they didn't need their IPod and they certainly wouldn't need this.......
[33] Uh oh, this sounds just like the great iphone debacle of 2007. Maybe the Tanga folks will give you a partial credit for that $8.00 difference, just like Mr. Jobs did.
My mystery card pack from the last thon. The only thing I bought is now delivered and waiting at my doorstep. I have a staff meeting to go to. The suspense is killing me. I won't be able to concentrate. Oh if I could only bilocate!
EDIT: Just because I tanga does not mean that I am a game snob. I'm guessing it applies to all those who said yes. We like the traditional games too. I'm a strategist, and I love killing people at monopoly.
I would like to purchase this but the radio theme in not aceptible to me and letting my kids play as well. We do not accept radio waves in our house. I will pass thank you
[53] Not necessarily. I use strategy to kill people at monopoly. My law professors tell me a lot about things being mutually exclusive. I feel as though I'm in class again...
[48] I'm not judgmental, Mr. Presumption!
I just find Monopoly to be tedious, something akin to brain rot, and none of my game playing friends find it interesting either (even in its Star Wars and/or Lord of the Rings reincarnations). I just thought that anyone whoâs played a wider variety of games had the same opinion about it.
Youâre free to like it, if you want to. Thereâs no need to get defensive. Geez.
Itâs not my fault you like a crappy game.
[58] I don't have 'gaming' friends. Therefore, beating my friends at Monopoly is the best I get. I don't have the good fortune to be able to play games with 'gamers.' I suppose I'm just jealous (seriously) that my friends don't like games as much as I.
Don't take this as anything but honest. I know it's easy sometimes to read sarcasm into comments here, but I am being completely truthful.
PS- It's Miss, not Mr. And with that, I'm off to evidence.
I would like to say that monopoly does happen to be one of the unofficial offical games of the US along with other classics such as poker and chess. Their isn't alot of strategy other then luck and not selling anything you get. But there does happen to be as much strategy as say Risk.
Also does the sandisk on sell happen to work with the ipod shuffle, just curious
Give Mega-Monopoly a try. It does make the game a little quicker and so you don't get stuck with marathon games. I like traditional games as well as the newer style.
And now that you've mentioned "law professors", I don't trust you. I know too many lawyers. One of my "gamer" "friends" is a lawyer. (I use "friends" in that manner in reference to the lawyer, not in reference to the adjective "gamer".)
And I take back the comment about âyou like a crappy gameâ. You need different friends. Or better acquaintances. Or geekier friends.
Tanga Monopoly might be fun for a bit. I can imagine Baltic Avenue replaced by Tanga Trash. Battlelore in place of Boardwalk? Descent in place of Park Place?
In place of jail, you'd have the poor house (from buying too many items, naturally). And free parking could be "Sold Out."
I prefer Tanga Risk myself. I always move my troops to Sandisk Player first. It's easier to defend than Mother the Game, that's for sure. You just have to watch out for the Tangaroos.
gggrrr, been teaching a training class the past twoish hours. I was going to buy some trash this time (cause I haven't found anything else to spend my money on).
gggrrr, been teaching a training class the past twoish hours. I was going to buy some trash this time (cause I haven't found anything else to spend my money on).
A few years ago I found a Risk/Monopoly variant that "seemed" interesting... in a snowed in for a weekend with nothing to do sort of way. I think it basically involved moving your armies only after you have passed GO.
[72] Let me rephrase. I LOVE Monopoly because I hate society, and the two go hand in hand. Simply by playing it, I'm bringing the end of the world one step nearer. Monopoly is the devil's tool, and since I am evil, I must love it.
So, since we are off topic: given the recent higher frequency of Tangathons, I wonder if there is a chance that Tanga are considering going into permanent "rolling product" (Tangathon) mode. There are some other DoD sites out there that do this.
[80] I was also curious about that and if someone is already doing that type of thing. I'd be interested in what sites are doing that, though not sure how you'd want to share that info.
[66] Yes we are... I think they try to get us to think differently too much and people don't understand that. Also, don't worry, I'm tangathoning in class! SIlly evidence...
[81] theres also Thingfling.com mostly electronics with a counter showing how many are left and how much time left till the next item shows.
If you want to see all the DoD sites at once go to
http://www.dodtracker.com/oneaday/ This is a great tool for checking them all out and Tanga is usually at the top (especially when a thon is going on)
[84][66] You know, that's not really totally true. I remember Tanya, Kelly, Ellen, Jean, Jennifer, Syd, Karen, Nicole ... all very fondly. Especially Tanya, she was really into those Iron Woman triathlons ... wow, yeah. And I remember Patrick, and ... uh ... whatâs his name, and Grimes, and ... well, there were a few guys, and they were ok. Paralegals were usually pretty cool, as a whole.
d.v.d.o.
Ok, lunch time. See you guys in a while.
Sabbath Rulz!
even when he edits his first post :D
meh
'thon comes to a screeching halt.
yep. I'm headed to Chik-fil-a.
[2] Ditto.
more trash?
Wasn't this up during this 'thon already?
I don't like Mac products.
They must be selling off all the canceled orders.
[6] I'm sorry to hear that. It was nice knowing you. R.I.P.
Any cancelled Descent orders still hanging around?
I thought the trash was done at the end of the 'thon? Is it going on for much longer?
I authoritatively pronounce Woopity Ding Dong.
not a fan of mac things either
Y'know, I've been tempted by this thing on most of the times it's been up. Unfortunately, I have a weird complaint about it... I listen to a lot of AM radio, and it lacks that tuner.
Just makes it "not for me".
[3] davido you are editing your posts too?
What are you a liberal lawyer?
[come to the cheap side, we need more cheap lawyers!]
---
edit psif this makes no sense to you:
see sunken city blog from in the 90's.
[3] Well, usually I like to have a custom crafted line to cut-n-paste just for you, but no one was bothering to post so I just typed something in :)
I have been tempted by this a few times but money is a bit tight at the moment. Does it have an alarm clock as well?
[19] aw shucks!
[18] Mr. Pot calls out Mr. Kettle, yessirree and yes, I read the SC blog. I'd love to be a cheap liberal lawyer, buyt the cheap side couldn't afford my not-so-cheap fees.
Nothx.
My brain is still in whiplash from the last 3 items.
I'm not even sure that this isn't a hallucination.
Dang. I put the baby to bed, and miss the trash.
[24] better that than the other way around
How did I miss sooo much so fast?? Went to the corner store and came back and??
[24] just wait a few hours you will have some poop thats about the same right?
Are we getting close to the end, tangamonkey?
I still want TRASH!!!
Was that even a real Trash post? Like the Mother post?
Is TangaMonkey yanking our chains?
[25] True! Very true!
[29] That trash went fast. I have a feeling some people lucked out on that one.
It was real. I got it.
I like this. But I paid $8 higher for it when I got it on Aug 17.
[33] beware of falling prices,ye of little faith...
The prices are falling, the prices are falling...
So ... Tanga Trash came and went ... but the Tangathon is still going ... what's wrong with that picture.
I think I'm feeling ... this strange ... I'm feeling ...Tangathon burn-out.
: 0
[33] Would you be happier if the price went up $2? ;-)
If you're on the fence: these are going a little higher on ebay -- pick up several and re-sell them!
(...I just want games)
[35] I think we're close to the end. Trash has often been the last item, but it has also been the second- or third-to-last item multiple times as well. I can only think of one or two instances where trash appeared in the middle of a 'thon, or more than once in a 'thon, but I may be imagining those memories...
i love ipod stuff. Throw a mp3 player software on a portable HD and watch everyone crap their pants. My comptuer is an ipod.
[38] So you think you might be having hallucinations, too?
I find it funny that have this product for sale since earlier in the Tangathon they offered a Sansa mp3 player that was deemed "an IPod Killer". If everyone bought the Sansa then they didn't need their IPod and they certainly wouldn't need this.......
anybody else surprise by the way the voting is going on the front page?
[33] Uh oh, this sounds just like the great iphone debacle of 2007. Maybe the Tanga folks will give you a partial credit for that $8.00 difference, just like Mr. Jobs did.
My mystery card pack from the last thon. The only thing I bought is now delivered and waiting at my doorstep. I have a staff meeting to go to. The suspense is killing me. I won't be able to concentrate. Oh if I could only bilocate!
[42] Yeah! Who the heck is voting "Yes!!!"?!?!?
[45] Me.
EDIT: Just because I tanga does not mean that I am a game snob. I'm guessing it applies to all those who said yes. We like the traditional games too. I'm a strategist, and I love killing people at monopoly.
[46] How many times did they let you vote?!?
[47] Once. Don't be so judgmental.
I would like to purchase this but the radio theme in not aceptible to me and letting my kids play as well. We do not accept radio waves in our house. I will pass thank you
...'cause I'm not sure the horse is dead yet!
What is the official definition of
"Woopity Ding Dong"?
[15]
HEY if enough people vote "yes" to the Monopoly question, maybe they will make a custom Tanga Monkey version of Monopoly.
Like the official Tanga jigsaw puzzle.
[46] It is good that you seperated the two statements. "I'm a strategist" AND "I love killing people at monopoly". Mutually exclusive.
now they're just f'ing with us.
Did anyone get their Tanga jigsaw puzzle yet?
[53] Not necessarily. I use strategy to kill people at monopoly. My law professors tell me a lot about things being mutually exclusive. I feel as though I'm in class again...
[55] They're still in production. TangaJoe assured me yesterday that they should be in the mail no later than next week.
[48] I'm not judgmental, Mr. Presumption!

Using 'strategy' in monopoly has nothing to do with being a strategist. :)

Hmmm, evidence. I have vague recollections of that class. Far more productive to spend your time addicted to the tangathon!
You are obviously going to the wrong law school, ckpete2887, as the buddies from mine will be getting together for some board games in a few hours...
Give Mega-Monopoly a try. It does make the game a little quicker and so you don't get stuck with marathon games. I like traditional games as well as the newer style.
[60] Fine!

Ironic that someone with the handle "Disreputable" would go blasting lawyers... :)
*Sigh* we're just hated everywhere we go...
I like Monopoly because I hate my family and it shows when we play.
This item sux. Next please.

ug, why do I fear the betty boop version of Monpoly coming next?
Nah thats just for UNO.
[67] Ok. Because you have ill-will and malice towards others: that is one reason to justify the playing Monopoly.
But I still don't think that's a reason to LOVE (!!!) Monopoly.
How often do they offer multiple tanga trash during a thon?
We've done themed Monopolies to death.
We need Tanga Modern Art. Think about it.
Fixed Price Auction:
"I'll sell this priceless... um... three pack of themed Uno for $24"
"But last turn, you were willing to sell it for $22!"
gggrrr, been teaching a training class the past twoish hours. I was going to buy some trash this time (cause I haven't found anything else to spend my money on).

Hoity Toity with a Tanga theme??? Isn't uberplay the distributor for hoity toity? They could probably make that happen ;-)

[81] They aren't really a competitor, so I'll mention steepandcheap.com, who sell mostly sporting goods.
The question should be: Do toothless, crack smoking whores who have been up 24/7 doing their nails and coke, love monopoly?
[66] Yes we are... I think they try to get us to think differently too much and people don't understand that. Also, don't worry, I'm tangathoning in class! SIlly evidence...
[74] Genius!
[83] No, they don't have time to play games when they're turning tricks. :(
[83] Hmm. Do they harbor hate for society?
[81] theres also Thingfling.com mostly electronics with a counter showing how many are left and how much time left till the next item shows.

"Almost Sold Out"
Thank you Baby Jesus!
darn it- the next item will never come up before I leave work!!
darn it- the next item will never come up before I leave work!!
[80][81] If Tanga did that, IMHO I think it would lose much of its appeal.
[91] Oh, I wasn't advocating for that -- in fact I'd dread it. But the tangathons have been coming more frequently and lasting longer lately, no?
Disreputable, maybe I do need geekier friends!
Anyone want to be my friend? I need people who will play cool games with me!
so upset I posted it twice!!!

ckpete
where you at school at A Squared? or ??
SWEET! I came back just in time for the next item.
Ha, no Oklahoma City
What no geeks in OK?? Nice place, UM has lots of game geeks.
[84] [66] You know, that's not really totally true. I remember Tanya, Kelly, Ellen, Jean, Jennifer, Syd, Karen, Nicole ... all very fondly.
