Trump unveils:
'Trump — The Game' 

NEW YORK -- Deal-making developer Donald Trump has found something else to put his name on: a new board game similar to what else — Monopoly.

Trump appeared Tuesday with representatives of Milton Bradley Co, at a Trump Tower news conference to unveil Trump — The Game". 

"Trump" is somewhat like Parker Bros.'s Monopoly in that the player with the most money wins. But the Trump "T" has replaced Monopoly game pieces like the shoe, the thimble and the iron,, and the highest Trump denomination is $100 million instead of $500. 

And unlike Monopoly, the new game features pictures of Trump the man on the money, game board, playing cards and the box.

"It's a much more sophisticated game than Monopoly," Trump said. "I like to play Monopoly — I've played it all my life, in many forms".

Capitalists ages 12 and older are invited to "share in the exciting high-stakes risk-taking I get to do every day. ... If you are clever, aggressive and cut the best deals, you can earn millions ...even billions of dollars. Just remember. Play to win or not at all!"

Trump said his proceeds from the $25 game, which" will hit toy-store shelves this spring will go to causes like cerebral palsy, AIDS and homeless.

Let the River Run - Carly Simon - Working Girl - 1988

I miss the old Car Ferry Boats. No car boats with use of the car space since 911. And the Bottom Deck the Smoking Deck until about 1990. What a blow. All the dregs came up to the saloon deck wit snob me lol. They were steel of course, with lots of varnished wood church pew like seats and black marbleized battleship linoleum. Painted inside with government issue battleship gray paint and white. The new Boats suck. All shiny and steel seats and store bought exit signs. 

My 3 seconds of fame or my doppelganger 0:19-0:22. Not me I think, I don't remember shaving on the boat or that my glasses were that thick. But I was that ruggedly handsome. lol 

And let's not forget Kevin Spacey's breakout sexual predator scene on music video 1:05-1:08. 

The script was a rip of fake junk-bond era, non-reality. But all the background NYC stuff a nostalgic historic slice of the old Apple. And a historic record so to speak.

The scenes in the #7 WTC with the polished elevator doors a tragic reminder of 911. Of things gone wrong with America. And tragedy etc. "Come the New Jerusalem"? RIP etc. 

Whatever. :-)
