I didn't mean to stray, really.

It was innocent...something my SIL mentioned in passing.

I must confess.

I've been visiting www.pogo.com and playing games.

I've played Trivia games and Word Scramble games.

Quick little games, but next think I know, lunch hour is over and I've only posted to SDMB a couple of times.

Ah, Pogo. That damn Word Whomp has kept me awake until 3 a.m. on more than one occasion.

Even after I sign off and go to bed, I'm unscrambling letters and whacking moles in my head.

Popcap dot com...
the bastards ...
have killed many an evening, afternoon, work time for me!

Alchemy got me pretty well ... but now it's Rocket Mania
and worse still... my record is 450,000 ... but my brother's nephew just hit 988,000 ... so, now I not only have the game to hook me ... but competitive streak is triggered ... *sigh* brat kid!

Oh and they have some stoopid pirate game that just keeps teasing me into thinking I have it figured out ...

Don't go there, I tell you, just Don't Do It...
I've warned you ...

Oh dear god, Pogo. Word Whomp. Sweet Tooth. Buckaroo Blackjack. And more.

And I'm entered to win a Pogo beach towel! Sends shivers down my spine, I tell ya!

He's got some catching up to do. According to posted scores, among dopers I have the second highest-score ever, at 2.8 mil (someone in Biggirl's thread got 5.4 mil).

the best game evereverever was a multiplayer one where you get given a set of words, and you've got to make a sentence out of them. then everyone votes for who's sentence was the best.

Think verb, not noun: to knife = to stab.
I knife, you knife, it knifes,...

As in: "That new kayak knifes through the rough water like a dream."

Hope that helps solve a mystery! :)
