i recently starting using facebook only so i could play scrabble. anyway, one of my current games is with
brian (my former roommate, fellow member of the
Outdoorsy Adventure Club and super competitive friend). i lose so much at scrabble that i don’t/can’t care about my track record anymore, i’m deep in the ditches. but it’s extra fun to score big points off of brian cause he gets so mad. young realizes this too, and when he came over to watch project runway tonight, i told him it was my turn against brian on scrabble. he too likes getting brian mad competition wise, the pay off is too big and satisfying. so he looked at my letters and wrote down a million hypothetical combinations so i could get a word with the most points. i didn’t use any of them cause i know brian would accuse me of cheating, but i had to share. i’ve lost so many times during scrabble but there is a certain satisfaction when scoring big against brian because he gets comically angry/belligerent, totally jackie gleason style.
Yeah, the gf and I play scrabble quite frequently. Despite having a much better vocabulary and better spelling skills, no matter how high I score she usually manages to beat me by around 10-20 points. WTF. Drives me nuts.
