Great news for Colorado cavers searching for #ManBearPig. South Park's 27 seasons are now on Paramount Plus, including the infamous April 2006 episode featuring Cave of the Winds. Cavers are still searching for the creature in the canyon's many caves. https://southpark.cc.com/

Who is the rich #NewYorker the #MonopolyMan is based on?
At first glance, the board game Monopoly doesn’t seem like it has a New York City connection. The man who sold it to Parker Brothers in 1935 was from Philadelphia, and the board features properties in Atlantic City.
"Then there’s that mustached man long dubbed 'the Monopoly Man' or 'Mr. Monopoly.' He appears on the Chance and Community Chest cards, always in a Depression-era suit with a bowtie and top hat.
"But the Monopoly Man isn’t just a board game invention—this iconic character (who has an actual name, Rich #UnclePennybags) is supposedly based on the image of an actual New Yorker.
"So who is he? Apparently he’s modeled after banker #JPMorgan. Morgan’s company financed some of the #GildedAge’s biggest corporations. He consolidated railroads, helped rescue the gold standard, and helped stabilize financial markets during the Panic of 1907, according to History.com. His former mansion on Madison Avenue is now the Morgan Library.
"Phil Orbanes, a former VP at Parker Brothers and author of The Monopoly Companion, confirmed in this interview that the artist who drew Mr. Monopoly based him on J.P. Morgan."

I'm going to bind #ManBearPig to my will and make it go after the idiots who decided it would be a wonderful idea to set off fireworks on not a holiday... My startle reflex was getting a workout for awhile.
