I am not good at Scrabble. Terrible. Word combinations do not float into my head and grace my tiles. I have never even gotten close to coming in second place in a three person game. This is what happened last night. The words in green are mine.
Marigold won handily with a score of 269 (with not one, but two scrabbles). Chris got 199, but he put down words like, "sync" and "unextend." We didn't let him get away with "et" or "ve" although. I, sadly, scored only 100. But at least I made 100. "Everybody's got to have goals." Marigold says as she snickers. Nobody really likes playing with me, because I ruin the game with two or three letter words, even in the beginning.
On a side note, a huge hurricane is gunning for us by this weekend and we haven't stocked up on liquor yet. Maybe when Sara gets here for her vacation, we can all have a blast holing up in some crappy motel room, drinking, and playing scrabble over and over again.

What's the "Q" up in the corner all about?
I like Jack Daniels with ginger ale. Buy lots.
Also, want me to bring my cribbage board?
Yeah. Q's not a word. Cheater.
What Q? (shhhhhh . . . )
I thought of you, Steve, today whilst browsing my Miles Kimball catalog. For your pleasure, I found the stuff online. I think you need all three of these items: Click Here
I am categorically against using Scrabble cheating devices, like "Official" dictionaries. You must come up with the words yourself, or it doesn't count.
Anyway, I'm not that interested in getting better at Scrabble or Scattegories or any other word games. I almost enjoy being the asshole.
Now, Pictionary or Apple To Apples is another story althogether.
I love apples to apples!!! It's the greatest. We just played this game tonight called imaginiff. It is a lot like apples to apples. Maybe I'll write a blog about it. Also, I love boggle. What about boggle?
Yes, Mandy. Apples to Apples came from your fair influence into my humble life and I have gracegully passed it on to those I feel worthwhile enough. Boggle, however, is not worthy of such praise in my book. It is another of those find-the-word games, which I ain't good at.
