I’m sure most people that have participated in the Monopoly game at McDonald’s have noticed that for every property set there’s always 1 rare piece that’s needed to complete the set. Here’s a list of those rare pieces that you should look out for.
- Mediterranean Avenue (Rare) and Baltic Avenue. 2,000 people will win $50.
- Short Line (Rare), Reading Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, B&O Railroad. 750 people will win $500.
- Vermont Avenue (Rare), Oriental Avenue, and Connecticut Avenue. 125 people will win $1,000.
- Virginia Avenue (Rare), St. Charles Place, and States Avenue. 75 people will win $2,000.
- Tennessee Avenue (Rare), St. James Place, and New York Avenue. 10 people will win $5,000.
- Kentucky Avenue (Rare), Indiana Avenue, and Illinois Avenue. Six people will win $10,000.
- Ventnor Avenue (Rare), Atlantic Avenue, and Marvin Gardens. Eight people will win $25,000.
- Pennsylvania Avenue (Rare), Pacific Avenue, and North Carolina Avenue. Four people will each win $50,000.
- Boardwalk (Rare) and Park Place. One person will win $1,000,000.
The in-store game ends 11/02/09. While I don’t recommend eating at McDonald’s just for the game pieces I’m sure a lot of people stop by there already. I do stop 2-3 by for a McChicken sandwich and a sweet tea on my commute.

My xbox 360 has the red rings of death again (this is the second time). However this time I won’t even bother to call Microsoft to have it fixed. I’m not even sure if it’s still under warranty but that’s not why I’m not getting the xbox repaired.
Videogames are an incredible waste of time. I’ve always realized this but never bothered to do anything about this. Add to the fact that I was really good at them didn’t help. So I’ll leave my xbox unrepaired to hopefully find more productive things to do with my time.
So the other day I stopped by a McDonald’s to pick up one of their large sweet ice teas. I noticed that the monopoly stickers were on the cup and decided to input the codes at PlayAtMCD.com. After my rolls were completed I noticed that there were offers to get free rolls (via Facebook for the first one). Apparently the rolls are universal so anyone can use them. I found 3 so far.
uonlyricher – From Facebook
I6L6V4N4T09 – Seen on the side of the paper bags.
ONLYPLYRSWN – A free code that’s displayed when you haven’t been to the website in awhile.
I found the first code by actually joining the Facebook group. The other codes I found on retailmenot.com which is normally used for discount coupons and etc.
Good luck. 
I started using Google Voice when it was originally Grand Central. A couple of my friends were interested in Google Voice and asked me to send them an invite. I realized that I have 3 invites left so if you want one just leave a comment on this post with your name and e-mail (e-mails will not be displayed publicly as usual) and I’ll send out invites to 3 people.
How do I use Google Voice? I’m on my laptop a lot so and rather than have people text my cell phone, I have them text my Google Voice number. The text message does not go to my cell phone but rather gets forwarded to my e-mail inbox.
Note: Google Voice is currently only available to users in the US.
I gave away all of the available invites. I’ll post when I get any more.

Someone sent me this awhile back and I thought it was worth sharing. The premise of this tumblr is to list 1,001 rules for what lessons a man should teach his son. The author is also promoting a book with the same time. I tend to think of myself as a man’s man so hopefully one day I’ll pass on some of these rules to my offspring.
Here are some of my favorites:
53. Offer your seat to a woman, no matter how old she is.
94. Don’t show off. Impress.
113. When in doubt, wear a tie.
114. Always meet your date at the door.
350. Ride in the front car of a roller coaster.
371. If you have the right of way, TAKE IT.
376. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point.
Enjoy more at 1001 ruels for my unborn son.

“Pickles will kill you. Every pickle you eat brings you nearer to death. Amazingly, the thinking man has failed to grasp the significance of the term “in a pickle”. Although leading horticulturists have long said that Cucamis Sativus possesses Indehiscent Pepto, the pickle industry continues to expand.”
I came across this interesting piece of satire. Enjoy proof that they are bad for you.
Coincidentally I’ve recently going through a pickle addiction phrase. I think I’ve gone through 2 jars in the past week (although the girlfriend has helped a bit too). Pickles remind me of the article on Walmart used gallons of pickles priced at $2.97 as a statement item.
So are pickles actually bad for you? Perhaps only rectally.
Do you have a friend, family, co-worker, etc. that’s just in a bad spot in their life and you’d like to help them out anonymously so they don’t feel guilty about taking the money from you?
Giving Anonymously is a non-profit organization that allows you to do just that. You can give the funds by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) to Giving Anonymously and then they cut a check to the recipient of your choice. They don’t take any fees or anything until the amount is over $500.
