Craziest

[archerships]

One of my nightmares is to play Scrabble with a beautiful woman. A woman I fancy.

My nightmare was filmed in one of the episodes of the HBO series, The Sopranos.

In that episode, Meadow, Tony Soprano's daughter, plays Scrabble with her boyfriend, Jackie, Jr.

As Meadow surveys the board, she tally's the words Jackie, Jr. has laid down.

"ASS"
"BUM"
"DOG"
"IT"
"TIT"

...and she realizes that Jackie, Jr. is not "The One". And, this being the Sopranos, Jackie, Jr's failure at Scrabble foreshadows a rather unpleasant fate.

Which is why I was unsurprised to come across this cautionary tale on the dangers of Scrabble. (Thanks, patrissimo)

Why can't you have nightmares about robots and Muslims and old people? You know, like a normal person?

Hmmm...what does "normal" mean you're sampling from a population with an n of 1? : >

Argh. "What does "normal" mean when..." WHEN. I see the words, but my fingers rebel.

Good line. I hope you don't mind my stealing it. :)

My recent ex was the only peer I've ever met who's beaten me at Scrabble when I was actually paying attention to the game. Of course, I'm just amateur, but still. It was some weird sort of turnon, and I definitely stayed with him longer than any of the others because he was fucking *brilliant*.

See? See? That's what I mean. It may look like innocent bunch of wooden tiles but it's a test!
