Random things...
1. Last night I was playing Quackle and out of the bag I drew AAABCRY. I passed. He did not play the P. Argh. Probably as close as I will come to playing that word. I did manage to get down 5 bingoes in that game though: VARIOLE, BURNOUT (making OVARIOLE), SUNROOF, JADEITE (131!), sPLINTED.
2. Three Degrees of Seperation and such -
If you can already find the anagrams in AAIKSSTW, FFLOSTY, GGILLOOW, and GGLLOOWY, go no further.
Following a link from CGP to a blog re: the esthetics of team uniforms, I read this entry talking about the history of SWASTIKAS, especially as they relate to sports teams. I found that another name for a swastika is FYLFOT which is good and takes the S. It also links to a picture of a Canadian women's hockey team where a girl (proudly clad is a pre-nazi swastika uniform) is holding a GOLLIWOGG doll. GOLLIWOG is a legit 8 and takes a G and S back hooks and can also be spelled GOLLYWOG, which only takes the S.
3. I played 4 games against Dave Turrissini Saturday afternoon. I haven't had the time or the energy to write them up, but three of the games were lopsided one way or the other. We ended up splitting the games 2-2. I played the phoney of HUSKIE* & RECUED*, and he got BROTHIER*, and UNSHOES* passed me.
Bingoes:
Mine -
RETOTAL
DEMOnIZ(E)
INERTIA
NATiVES
His -
UNSHOES*, EU(D)AIMON
(1 - undocumented)
MISSEAt, aCETOSE, OUTHEARS
BLOATERS, TARNIsH
It's been a while since I've averaged only 1 bingo a game.
4. I'm inexplicably sad.
5. Here is a link to the most recent photo gallery including pictures of a -6 mo. old Quinn:
BOO!
