Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
Just noticed something. The game I mostly remember from those years was Uncle Wiggley as I posted earlier. Comparing the two game boards, it's no wonder why Chutes and Ladders is still around while the poor old uncle seems to have been long forgotten.
To play Uncle Wiggley, you actually had to READ!!!!!!!!
While C & L was mindless. All you had to do is manage to throw the dice (or did it have a spinner?) so that it didn't wind up down your sister's throat and move one square for each dot on the die plus slide down a chute or climb a ladder.
Well, OK, climbing that ladder today might be a stretch for some of the more -- portly -- of today's young'uns, but imagine!!! Kids loving to play a game where you had to READ!!!! EGAD!!! About as far-fetched as hams who actually LIKE to send with a key!!

No, but I remember hearing about the pressure on them to change their name, and eventually, the demise of the chain.

Im sure it was followed by the usual cacophony of old crackers screaming about the world going to shit, blah, blah...everything has to be PC now, blah, blah....damn hippies/darkies and their "sensitivity", blah, blah...
Funny, Dungeons and Dragons used to remind me of Chutes and Ladders. The only Board Games I really like are Backgammon, Chess and Monopoly. The rest? Meh.

I spent many an hour there in HS because the coffee was only a dime. The wait staff didn't like us cuz coffee is usually all we got (had money for). If you really work at it, you really can stick the toothpicks with the plastic fuzzy stuff on one end in the acoustic ceiling tile.

We used to go there a lot, never thought about it until i got older. And as a former waiter, i got pretty good with the frill toothpicks and a straw as a blowgun...when it was slow, i could nail a styrofoam cup on a top shelf from 15 feet away and make it stick.
As the natives say, i have medicine!
