Board game idea: BONOPOLY: like Monopoly but where the streets have no name.

I bolted awake this morning because my brain wanted to tell me this joke, and now you have to see it too, that's how the joke mind virus works

This quarterback is something else (4 5)

What do you get if you cross an anagram with a joke? A kind of joyous, eager magic that wows at any hour. #anagram

I tried to buy a new blanket online but the only way to get the one I want is to also purchase some decorative pillow covers. What a sham.

I just noticed, 20 days in, that by total fluke, the numbers of this month’s Raddles align perfectly with the date. Simply because I started the game on one particular day in late February last year. Wild.
