Stories like this make me wonder if the people at Hasbro/Parker Bros. actually think the tokens are the reason people have lost interest in playing the game over the years.Monopoly pieces that are now gone: wheelbarrow, thimble, and the boot.
Please welcome: a rubber duckie, a tyrannosaurus rex, and of course, a penguin...
Probably. They also know there are "completist" collectors out there who will buy the game just to get the new tokens.More likely they know that the change will get people talking about it again and spur some sales.
The Old Fashioned barbershop...
Hey, you're describing my go-to town barber. Right down to the hunting magazines and taxidermy decor. I always prefer going to them because of the hot lather and shave. Though, I admit, they have a habit of cutting my hair shorter than I like.The Old Fashioned barbershop, when they use to always finish your haircut with hot lather and a straight razor and cut around the neck and ears, then finish it off with some hair tonic and then combed neatly , they would hand you a mirror so you could see the back and ask if it's OK?
a real man's barbershop, where they had hunting magazines, playboys, deer antlers on the wall , along with the veteran's photos from WW1 - WW2 on the wall, sometimes it would be a photo of his ship from his days in the navy.
not many WW2 vet barbers left, I remember all of them were vets, and some had the old tattoos of women in bikinis on their arms , old reminders of their younger days in the service.
Go to Hawaii. Still lots of Chop Suey joints, advertised as such. "Chop suey"just means something like "made quick." It was a stir-fried dish made by Chinese cooks for the early Chinese laborers from whatever ingredients they could find in California. And still pretty good stuff, if it's made right.

That's possible, but my guess is it was because the barber was instructed by our dads to cut it that way. "He's a kid. Cut it short so his mother won't have to fuss with it so much trying to get him ready for school in the morning."Perhaps this habit of trimming the hair short came from barber school training...

Even worse were the shoes, buying them either a half or full size too big so they wouldn't have to buy another pair in six months. Does anyone even use a Brannock device anymore?"High cuffs".
You'll grow into them in no time!
