Okay guys, help me out. I'm going bonkers, stuck on the couch with my foot higher than my heart. Anyone feeling verbose? Challenge me on WWF--my handle is RedBekka.
Thanks!

We have moved on from that and are now playing Dice Buddies. The free version. (AKA Yahtzee). Just another thing to add to your fun!
Heal well

Hmmm...challenge the Ninja Librarian? Is that like verbal suicide?

The answer is yes. With most people I won some and lost some. But RebD bitch slapped me in every game.
Penguin Pants, Vans husband, spanked me pretty good as well.
I do feel like I am a better player for playing them though.
I'm pretty sure they cheat.

While I have a relatively good control of the English dialect, my laptop died again, and I am on my iPad, which I cannot stand. Hence, all the typo's. I was too afraid to match whits you on this POS. But when I get A new puter, it's game on. NOT. I know better. Which blows, cause I too am trapped. A new baby.
Ugh. Auto correct

There's a story behind that!

I don't cheat. Though WWF lets me fix my bad spelling without penalty.
Bad knees--I play on the iPad. You don't have to type. Just drag letters around.

I'll bite. Been a while since I've played anyone who can beat me.

What's the point of playing then?

With getting beat or the cheating?
I learned from playing her even if i lost.
Cheating? Just for fun. I'd have come clean after.

I just have to defend my husband's honor. He doesn't cheat, he just plans carefully. He'll steal all the triple word scores or put the best letter on a triple letter. It is easier to plan on the computer/phone since you can take as much time as you need for a word.
He beats the crap out of my aunt on WWF too, and she is a traditional scrabble champion. They are more even in a traditional game, with the time pressure.

Hmm, this sounds interesting. I play Scrambled and mostly lose, but, like eyebp, I still learn from it. When I see words that folks come up with, heck, I haven't even heard of most of them. I have such a first-grader vocabulary!

I'm in. Maybe you can improve my 3rd grade trailer park vocabulary a bit more than when you beat the pants off me the last time.
And the time before that.
And the time before that...

As for vocabulary, I think there should be a requirement that you define any word you use. Then we'd all learn some things! I do wonder about WWF, as the game accepts some words I don't think are right. Can't think of one now, but plurals that shouldn't be, that sort of thing.

Then it would be less of a game and more like college freshman English honors.
I'd have to be high to play it. Like old times.

So are you saying I'm weird, Spindle? Because I think it would add an interesting element.
Of course, my favorite radio show is "Says You" on NPR
