What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I believe now you always go clockwise and ask until you actually see a card.

What what whaaaaat? Fuck that noise!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's almost as disappointing as Scrabble allowing proper nouns.

You know that's actually not at all true, right?

Sure, no snakes are coming after them and they can become a rock star if they want!

This is what I'm saying.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You know that's actually not at all true, right?

What? No, I hadn't heard.

Yeah, it's just some spinoff game or something. Not at all changing the real rules of Scrabble.

It was all downhill after the release of the first Scrabble dictionary.

Yeah, the original thing went viral instantly, but the explanation didn't have the same traction. Not SENSATIONAL enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We had this marvellous game in England which was British Rail, and you had to work out how to get from place A to place B most efficiently, and we were all up on the entire rail system plus tourist destinations. Such geeky fun.

I adore board games. But I'm not up so much on American ones, I don't think. Candyland is a blank to me.

Changing the rules of Scrabble is like killing Ianto. There's only so much I can take.

That's marginally better, but it's still Wrong.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Can a person who thinks that there should have been another solution/physical place for creating the state of Israel think that way without being an anti-semite?

I would say that that opinion doesn't necessarily make someone an antisemite, but I have very rarely heard that opinion expressed quite that neutrally -- it usually comes with all kinds of other stuff that is antisemitic. I guess it depends on what the other solution would have been, maybe.

I think using the word "solution" in that context would cause all kinds of problems in and of itself, regardless of the intent.

Our wings are not tired.

ita, have you ever played Milles Bournes?

I need to either find my childhood set or buy another. I bet I'd still love giving people flat tires!
