Would you believe I have played tournament scrabble with the author and he is quite a good player though not an expert?

  1. The rules are quite stretchy, aren’t they?
  2. What if you’re quoting a non-question?
  3. Didn’t I think it all had to end as a question?
  4. Doesn’t that particular Donald make everything worth it anyway?

You-all seriously make those distinctions? Isn’t it really “Quebec, Nunavut, and Everything-Else” ?

Have you read Word Freak? Did you know the stunt MrsTobinL and I played at the Chicago National tournament got passing mention in that book?
Is it cool? (Enh it is fun and definitely not the kitchen table game and I have kinda dropped out of club and tournament play thanks to parenthood)

Do you really want MrsTobinL to visit and school you about Canadian geography? How about @missypants or @anon50609448?

Doesn’t that really depend on who you ask? Aren’t all the people who answer in the negative actually wrong, though?

Did you know that my mother likes the game so I bought her Word Freak as a gift? And that the following year she gave it back to me as a “gift”? (I don’t play the game.)

Do you have a page number for the aforementioned incident, since the book doesn’t have an index?

Did she forget who gave her the book?

I would have to go home and dig up my copy of the book wouldn’t I? (At the beginning of the chapter about the Chicago tournament in the description of the opening night gathering) And may I say we pulled it off amazingly well though there were a few times it tested my control limits when seeing the reactions from some of the other players there?

But can’t you link us to THIS?

Just ask Christina O’Sullivan. She met her husband, Tobin Lathrop, in an online Scrabble forum nearly 12 years ago; today they live in Seattle with their “Scrabble spawn,” 2-year-old Chas. It seems an affinity for word games can bridge even the widest gaps, since O’Sullivan was a student in Vancouver, B.C., when she first encountered Lathrop, who lived in St. Louis. “[Tobin] and I met . . . on these online hangouts, or multiuser domains,” O’Sullivan explains. “He and I used to play these very long Scrabble games . . . it was just a way to occupy ourselves and talk.” Things really began to heat up, she says, when Lathrop “bought the hardcover copy of the second edition of The Official Scrabble Player’s Dictionary, and he started playing these obscure two- and three-letter words against me, and I felt I had to keep up.”
