    I haven’t played Monopoly in about forever. Is the orange to suggest the color of the card, or “Hey, look! Escaped inmate!”?

    Re: Reality Bites and dating, I’ve always thought Chuck Klosterman’s opening salvo in Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (about how he’ll never truly satisfy a woman because John Cusack, and by extension, all the iconic 80s and 90s romantic comedies, set unreasonably high standards among so many women he knew) was actually pretty insightful, at least in my experience.

    It’s pretty insightful and interesting to read the other half of that.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, it’s a take on the orange “get out of jail free” card.
