king3vbo \| 9:10 AM on 02.26.2008	45 comments

When you see this:

And the first thing to pop into your head is this:

Then you begin to laugh histerically inside of a Borders bookstore, only to be asked by an employee: "Do you need any sort of help sir? You're freaking out the other customers"

LOL.....that's hilarious! I'm guess I'm on the safe side of nerdville, I didn't make that connection.

Same thing happened to me. But then again Pokemon was really, really popular..really.

The first thing that came to my mind was "what an awesome monopoly board"

Ehhhhh.... I'd hold out for the Steelix edition myself.

The first thing that came to my mind was "waste of money."

Seriously, how many fucking monopoly boards do we need?

I'm scared.

The first thing I thought of is it's too pretty to throw against a wall. I hate Monopoly like an Irish hit man hates Bruges. But I've been there before. Me and a friend were in a Walmart looking for toy light sabers so we asked a clerk and then suddenly realized we were too old for them. The guy gave us a weird look so my friend blurted out "it's uhh for my brother Tim." It was of course around Christmas so he couldn't help adding "we call him tiny Tim because, he's uhh really short." And then I couldn't help adding "yea and that damn scrooge won't let him have one." And then we ran away because we were laughing way too hard and I think the guy was about to call security.

Sooooo... WHY shouldn't that be the first thing to pop into your mind?

lol, I know. That did make me laugh, though.

Is the answer "bewbs"? Or, wait, wait, "b00bs"...

sir this is pure win.

i take my hat and monocle off to you.

BluDesign says:
(# 11) on 02/26/2008 09:46

I agree with bleh.

Then again, everything makes me think of bewbs.

This guy has the same problem. Although it could be argued that being a biologist is a good indicator of being a too much of a nerd in and of itself.

NERD NERD NERD NERD NERD

NihonTiger90 says:
(# 14) on 02/26/2008 10:10

LOL, I thought of that, too.

gotdurnrite says:
(# 15) on 02/26/2008 10:15

I don't get it. Is that thing's name Onyx?

Neonie says:
(# 16) on 02/26/2008 10:16

That's actually the first thing I think of everytime I hear the word Onyx.

king3vbo says:
(# 17) on 02/26/2008 10:21

Its not JUST the pokemon Onyx, but the top hat and cane and monocle that made it so funny to me

gotdurnrite says:
(# 18) on 02/26/2008 10:24

Oooooooooooh. That's a pokemon named Onyx. Either I'm too old or not a big enough nerd.

It's probably a mix of the too.

Tragic Hero says:
(# 19) on 02/26/2008 10:27

Thats pretty funny. I wonder if the Onyx edition of Monopoly sucks as bad as the Onyx pokemon though. Seriously, Onyx is nearly as worthless as farfetch'd

Samson says:
(# 20) on 02/26/2008 10:31

Who's that Pokemon!?

It's the Monopoly Guy!

flynsk says:
(# 21) on 02/26/2008 10:44

Ha!

The first thing I thought was that you could put a Ouija board under the clear part and play MonopOuija.

blehman says:
(# 22) on 02/26/2008 10:48

Also, whenever I hear or see the word onyx I think of "Slam".

bloodylip says:

blehman wins.

Ahahaha, that�s awesome...I thought of just the Pok�mon, but the top hat and monocle really make it that much better. You know what�s really bad? Walking around New York City listening to RFGO! or Podtoid. It�s really hard to keep myself from laughing out loud, and then people give me these strange looks like I�m going insane...

Snaileb says:
(# 26) on 02/26/2008 11:31

And Im not buying another Monopoly until they invent a better way to hold your cash. Im still pulling Monopoly money out of my cushions circa 1989.

HarassmentPanda says:
(# 27) on 02/26/2008 12:04

@blehman

I thought the same thing! I saw the "Onyx Edition" at Barnes & Noble one day and I thought it was going to be some badass rap edition of Monopoly... no such luck. It was black though.

Rockvillian says:
(# 28) on 02/26/2008 12:09

@Snail

A good monopoly player has his own methods - I stick them under the board, and I'm thinking I'll start actually putting it in my wallet, for realness!

BlindsideDork says:
(# 29) on 02/26/2008 12:17

Wait, Jim Sterling is a Pokemon?

Tragic Hero says:
(# 30) on 02/26/2008 12:25

@Snaileb

They have a special edition monopoly where the transactions are done through credit card. So there really isn't anymore money instead you just swipe a card when you pay taxes or buy a property

vexed alex says:
(# 31) on 02/26/2008 13:03

...That's the first thing I thought of....

STERLING ONIX FTW!

nademagnet says:
(# 32) on 02/26/2008 13:05

I can honestly say that I have never played a Pokemon game.

srfmrf007 says:
(# 33) on 02/26/2008 13:06

blehman...let the boys be be boys. Slam da da da

Guagloves says:
(# 34) on 02/26/2008 13:06

LOL

Onyx w/ Monocle is WIN

vexed alex says:
(# 35) on 02/26/2008 13:25

@ nademagnet

I feel so sorry for you. Pick up the DS one.

Knives says:
(# 36) on 02/26/2008 13:25

"Fancy monopoly looks fancy", that's the first thing I thought. Then i laughed with the monocle equipped Onyx .

Snaileb says:
(# 37) on 02/26/2008 14:03

I want a monopoly wallet for my play money.

PrinceofCannedPeaches says:
(# 38) on 02/26/2008 14:56

Omigod, that rocksnake looks like Jim!

Dexter345 says:
(# 39) on 02/26/2008 15:09

I'll admit, that's what I thought of too.

Urashima says:
(# 40) on 02/26/2008 15:36

Used a MONOCLE on Onyx.

WHAT...ONYX IS EVOLVING?!?

ONYX EVOLVED INTO YE OLDE ONYX!

NOW YE OLDE ONYX, USE ROCKSLIDE!

This is amazing.

PwnDaddy says:
(# 42) on 02/27/2008 21:00

That's pretty funny, I'll still wait on the kids Chemistry Set that lets you do equations about half-life and radioactivity.

MatCD says:
(# 43) on 08/31/2008 01:41

Dude, Onyx is TIGHT! Why the hell isn't he in Brawl?!?!?
