I know I’m not the only Scrabulous addict here – where do y’all hang out? I usually go to the second Easy Robot Room, where I play as twickster. Come challenge me to a game! ---

Okay, not that this will make you want to play me – but I just had the best game of my entire freakin’ life. I opened with CRY – whatever. My second move: MEETING (bingo). My third move: RESTORE (bingo, triple word score). Neither of those was a clear winner for best move of the game: I got GAUZE on another triple word score – with the Z on double letter, for 75 points. Final score: 492-218, and God bless my opponent for not just quitting on me. What a good sport! ---

You guys don’t fool me. Just like those two marble shooters at school pretended to play with each other badly. “Hey Plant, want to play for lunch money?” 🙂 ---
