I have an e-mail Scrabble game from Hasbro. You do not need the CD Rom to play it, however. It’s just download in order to be the second player. I believe it has to be on a Windows system of some sort - don’t know about Unix, but I know Mac doesn’t work, according to SanibalMan. Shoot me an e-mail that says “Scrabble” in the subject and I’d love to start a game with you! Ask Drain Bead how much fun it is… 😃 * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

\*…the Devil just bowed his head, cause he knew that he’d been beat, and he laid that golden Scrabble holder at the ground at Johnny’s feet. Johnny said "Come back Devil, if you ever want to try it again, I done 'tol you once you illiterate bitch, I’m the best there’s ever been"…\* 🙂 (apologies to Satan and Mr. Daniels) * * * _…send lawyers, guns, and money…_ ``` Warren Zevon ``` ---

I started games with everyone who e-mailed me. You all should have plays in your mailbox with downloading instructions. Have fun, everyone! * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

So, how are y’all doing? Heh. Heh. Yes, I could have warned you. But I preferred to sit back and laugh at all of you suckers. He CAN be beaten though. I’ve done it…once. Here’s living proof, if I didn’t screw something up in the coding. [http://www.geocities.com/drainbead/Scrabble.GIF](http://www.geocities.com/drainbead/Scrabble.GIF) ---

Hehehhehe… after his bigass list taken directly from an online scrabble dictionary, I thought it would be best not to try to beat the Dark Lord. I mean, the man’s AIM is Scrabble 1. Hope none of you bet anything important. –John * * * Wo de qianzi shi Zhongwende. ---

Hey, _I’m_ not the one playing them…I just happened to know what they were getting themselves into. ---

> [@](#): > > Hehehhehe… after his bigass list taken directly from an online scrabble dictionary, It’s not online; it’s from a CD-ROM, which he never uses while he plays. Frankly, he doesn’t have to. > [@](#): > > I thought it would be best not > to try to beat the Dark Lord. I mean, the man’s AIM is Scrabble 1. Yeah, that should be your first clue that something is not quite right. As I said before, though, he CAN be beaten…but if you’re just the average “living-room” player, you have to have one of your best games ever in order to do it. I mean, when you’re playing with someone who plays in clubs and tournaments, and has memorized every single 2 and 3-letter word in the OSPD, you’re already at a disadvantage. ---
