[QUOTE=Scribble] **Chowder** has made me laugh several times in the “outrageous lies about the previous poster” thread. [/QUOTE] Scribble is a wonderful game that has afforded me many hours of quiet enjoyment, both at home and on a plane (in the travel) version, and … oh, what. I thought we were talking about Scrabble. Never mind. Um… Scribble is the baddest mo-fo in springfield. ---

**Scribble** seems like a nice, thoughtful, considerate poster. A good egg, as it were. (Was that you in my dreams? I woke up scared and don’t remember why.) ---
