I want to be known as either “that woman with the Scrabble board” or “mad old Jock”.

I vote for “that woman with the Scrabble board,” myself. Mad old Jocks are a dime a dozen, but women with Scrabble boards are special creatures. :)

What does having three - and about to get a 4th - make me? I think we need something more than special, now…
boot on 05/01/08 at 03:14 PM ::
That makes you a goddess, boot.
bakerina on 05/01/08 at 03:15 PM ::
In that case, why don’t I have superpowers? Say, like the one that allows me to convince my maddened friends play Scrabble with me? Hmmm? Goddess I may be, but defunct in special powers I am.

Ah, well, you see, you don’t want Gods, but Superheroes. That’s an entirely different business unit with an entirely different cost center number.
bakerina on 05/01/08 at 03:22 PM ::
I see why I shouldn’t try early-morning Scrine - I can’t tell my superheroes from my gods.
Scrabble anyone?

I hesitate to mention this, but isn’t some form of online Scrabble a big thing?
'mouse on 05/01/08 at 03:43 PM ::
A quick look shows lots of online Scrabble sources. The one I just looked at even allows for an email based game so people in different time zones can play. Hmmmmmm......

Oh, don’t you boys be teasing me. Others have offered Scrabble games to me and then ran away in terror mere moments later.
boot on 05/01/08 at 04:28 PM ::
Come on, honey, do it. Do it. Do it. It’s your turn. Do it.
bakerina on 05/01/08 at 04:31 PM ::
We’re not teasing. Check your msboot email.
Keith on 05/01/08 at 04:31 PM ::
Holy cow! You guys are just too damn nice. And quick!
Seriously wonderful, all of you.
boot on 05/01/08 at 04:44 PM ::
I want to play! Or if the game has started, I hereby challenge the winner.
pam on 05/01/08 at 05:40 PM ::
The game has started, Pam, and is limited to four. But you can play the other three after I loose. Which I am.
Keith on 05/01/08 at 05:43 PM ::
No wonder I’m “loosing.”
Keith on 05/01/08 at 05:44 PM ::
Challenge the winner?! Now it’s getting exciting. It’s likely to be Bakerina, but be warned: she cheats outrageously.
As I said, I think Keith’s loosing (I’ll join in with you) is just to put us off-guard. Scriners are tricksters.
boot on 05/01/08 at 07:01 PM ::
My reputation is in tatters here! Tatters!
Everything else, though...boot’s totally right about that. :)
bakerina on 05/01/08 at 07:22 PM ::
That’s okay. I’m also known to be an outrageous liar.
Trust that last statement as you see fit.
boot on 05/01/08 at 07:25 PM ::
i always thought scrabble makes sense only if you’re allowed to make up words. otherwise, why?
e on 05/01/08 at 09:34 PM ::
In the “challenge” version you are officially allowed to make up words. And others are allowed to challenge them. But poking around in the official dictionary last night I noticed it’s fairly hard to make up a word that’s not actually a real word. For example, “zees,” “utu,” “ki,” “li” “si” and “za” all showed as allowable words. WTF? “WTF,” however, is still not allowed.

ah, such underused imagination. grigglefletz.
