What is Spongebob Monopoly?
It is a game played by two or more persons in which Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick get to be the lead actors in taking over Bikini Bottom and building up hotels in order to make the rest pay rent.
What is a Spongebob Monopoly opening ceremony?
It is the first time whereby a Spongebob Monopoly is played by the person(s) who bought it with his/her friends of course. This includes ardent Spongebob fans all around. No actually, just in Serangoon.
Why a Spongebob Monopoly opening ceremony?
It happened one fine day when Elaine and I were out shopping and we stopped at the children's section and saw.... lo and behold! The Spongebob Squarepants Monopoly board game for sale! A true monopoly enthusiast, Elaine decided there and then that she will buy it. A true blue friend to a true Spongebob enthusiast, I decided we could organise a monopoly marathon cum sleepover to "open" the game, and therefore promptly invited the true Spongebob enthusiast, Kim to join in this endeavour. Elaine decided we needed some more people to form the losing squad so she conned her boyfriend, Amos into going, and I invited Daniel to come and shake leg.
What you've just read is totally excellently written bullshit, or rather, slanted truth.Now this is the real truth: Amos excitedly volunteered to come after Elaine gently asked if he wanted to play monopoly. His reason? He was damn sure he would trash us all. Daniel was asked to come and he was excited because he wanted to see misty and my walk-in wardrobe... and later on, he wanted to memorise the monopoly board game rules (like a true blue geek) to make sure he would trash us all later.
Now tell me which one of them does not spell "male ego" all over their faces.
And the question remains: who will become the
real king/queen of Spongebob monopoly?
Is it:
(a)
Elaine aka the monopoly enthusiast, owner and thus connoisseuse of a few monopoly board games?
or (b)
Kim aka the Spongebob enthusiast, who knows all the deep dark secrets lurking in his mind and also at the bottom of the Bikini Bottom?
or (c)
Me aka the host of the ceremony who is adept at planting a few very secret moves under the parquet floor of my room (which is incidentally the site of the competition)?
or (d)
Amos aka self-proclaimed winner of all previous monopoly board games and thus monopolizer of human beings?
or (e)
Daniel aka 'old dry' as well as Masters-holder-of-Strategic-studies wannabe, also currently being educated in that expertise via t the swarm of History of Strategic Thought readings?
Stay tuned to find out who will emerge champion of the Spongebob Squarepants Monopoly! A full exclusive of the events will be brought to you live on MSN webcam (msn me on Monday night to find out) and also on a repeated telecast (or rather typecast) here!
