I swear, CK, sometimes my sense of humor goes right over your head.
It really bugs me when people re-color/re-purpose/hack a game without even trying it unaltered or putting in the effort to fully understand why it is the way it is. And I've been this way since I WAS in the 6th grade. It's ALWAYS bugged me when either (a) my fellow kids clearly weren't following the rules of a game or (b) parents were clearly dumbing down or skipping over bits cause we were "kids" or worse were wishy-washy types who thought it was bad to encourage "competition" and didn't want to identify "winners" and "losers."
Like that whole, "Money on Free Parking" thing some families do? Bogus. You can't imagine how betrayed I felt when I discovered that was mostly a house rule, at like age 10.
This is clearly more a case of kids just being creative kids. So I expressed my conflicted feelings in a humorous manner.
If nothing else I was mirroring Matt's Damnit, AWESOME, Damnit sentiment.
