..are you saying that with your nose or with your heart!? I wonder!
Yes, I wonder...
(...what the hell you are talking about...)
What bread would be best for Scrabble games?
Any bread with red wine, I suppose...
Ciarli, let us know if you would like to play in the next game!
We could definitely use more Albanians playing American-English Scrabble on chess.com...
I am back. No raw vegan tacos. Decided on a fruit bowl: watermelon, apple, and bananas...
I ran out of ripe avocados, so no tacos right now. ![]()

We can breathe a "XI" (sigh) of relief that WCPS found XI for 36 big ones. We will see how much sympathy Strange has for his fellow opponent... WCPS, I'll send your tiles soon. Move goes to Strange now, with 22 tiles remaining and a fair lead...
Gentlemen, we have a winner!
The_Hairy_Gorilla has won his game vs. superman0101.
Superman0101 lost on time.
Sorry about that, Superman, better
luck managing your time next time, my good fellow.
The_Hairy_Gorilla, I'm sure, is right about now, just going ape over
his hard-earned victory.
Gentlemen, there's a new gorilla in the room
right now - let him enjoy his moment in the sun.

What a GUY! What a GUY! this Strangemover is... Playing GUY for 24, he increases his lead over Weak!! The tension is certainly building now, folks. What will become of this ending? Tile send now. Weak's play.
Ah yah, me win game. BIG! Me like to thank everybody for this victory. Me like to thank my banana-eating for the victory. Me could not have make big victory without my bananas.
Me feel me will play anyone now. Me will challenge the world. Good things come for Hairy_Gorilla. Good things.
Peace and bananas to all.

hm, TE isn't a word in words with friends, but is a word in the official scrabble dictionary...
I allowed FE earlier, since it was in the American Heritage Dictionary, and I will now allow TE. Obviously this is a chemical element symbol for tellurium, as FE is for iron. It is not however, surprisingly in either dictionary as an alternate spelling for TI.



Time for a breakfast break. I'll be back in about an hour or so to check-in.
Do I really want to have raw vegan tacos again? That is the decision I must
make...
