<p>This is monumental. Hasbro, the makers of the board game MONOPOLY, has decided to make a change to our favorite <a href="http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/rest-pieces-hasbro-replace-classic-monopoly-game-token-202310173.html" target="_blank">jaunt through the real estate market of Atlantic City. (click)</a> Fans now have the opportunity to vote-away one of the traditional playing pieces: The snotty dog...I mean...the <em>Scotty</em> dog (never), the race car (I seriously doubt this one will go), a shoe, a hat, a battleship (I think this will stay), an iron (what's an iron?), a thimble (do they still make these?) and a wheel barrow.</p>
<p>The replacement piece will be a diamond ring, a guitar, a cat, a robot or a helicopter.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If I had my way, I'd replace the wheel barrow because I didn't even know there was one. I guess my eyes have just glossed right over it all these years. I would replace it with the U.S.S. Enterprise.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If they're going to update, they might as well update to the cultural icons of my generation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Does anyone still play board games?</p>
