2.19.2009: Scrabble Babble

I played Scrabble with a friend tonight who has never played Scrabble before. You heard me right. Never. Not once. It was like playing with an alien. It was also super fun and I almost lost once he got the hang of it. Next we'll amp things up by playing the version of Scrabble I would play with my mom where you can only play a word if it is a) not a real word and b) if your definition makes the other person laugh. An example would be a word that got played... "WARF": the sound a dog makes when puking; also, a character in the sequel to Spaceballs.
