I’m really looking forward to buying a house in three to five years, if only so we can legitimately expand our list of house rules, which so far comprises:
We don’t say, “shut up” here; we say, “shut your piehole.”
If you’re playing Monopoly and your name is Tony, you must give each other player $500 at the beginning of the game. Sorry: house rules.

omg. shut your piehole :D
you’re too much!
I’m sorry, but monopoly can only be played by the rules that are provided with the game when it is purchased – there is no such things as “house rules” it is the same for all houses (unless it benefits me).
Nalani: Inspired by Meet the Parents, when Ben Stiller is trying to fly home and gets in a fight with the flight attendant because his bag won’t fit in the overhead compartment: “…so shut your piehole, and listen to me when I say that I am finished with the checking-of-the-bag conversation!”
Tony: I just sold my Monopoly set to Stephan for $.01, and provided him with the aforementioned rule re: Tonys. (He hasn’t paid me yet, but he says he’s good for it).
Now is this Monopoly ™ money or real, cold, hard cash we are talking about that Tony has to pay?
