21. The shoe over the years has gotten a reputation
for good luck. I don't know why that is, but I choose the shoe every time.

24. You had a mother?
Damn, some people have all the luck!

To me it always looked kind of loose and comfortable (I almost said "kinda like my mom"-but I heard her rolling over in her grave).
Better play it safe...

27. Monopoly Game Piece Theory
http://ekarjala.tripod.com/monopoly.htm

Shoe: Liking the shoe means that you are naturally generous and giving toward your fellowman. Additionally, you are an excellent writer. It's a shame you smell a little bit nasty.

I'm a shoe person, too.

3. I don't play MONOPOLY any more
I play CLASS STRUGGLE -- much more interesting game. But when I did, I was either the race car or battleship.

4. I Always Picked The Top Hat...
... at the time I must have thought that it was "luckier" than the rest of the pieces. It wasy symbolic of the little "Mr. Monopoly" character's wealth and success.

10. The dog
It was the cutest token they had. If the shoe had been a nice strappy stiletto I would have picked that.

14. I'm the car when I play computer Monopoly on my Mac
It's a very old version, circa '92, but like most Mac software it survives and functions perfectly.

My dog's name is Awsie. So the dog is called Awsie Dooger. The horse is Seattle Slew. Others vary depending on who I'm eager to financially squash.

Oh yeah, if the game isn't going well I make trades. Similar to the Herschel Walker deal.

23. The shoe
Dunno why, I just like it. I don't play much regular Monopoly anymore. Most of the time I play Justice League Monopoly with my nerdy friends, and I'm always fighting with my best friend over the Wonder Woman token. :)

35. None of the above!
I have a miniature pewter goblin that I like to use. I spend the entire game speaking in my growling orc-voice, just to irritate my friends.
