Albany money finish! 4/33 in Div 2/3, 14-8
Hey-o sports fans! I returned to the legendary Albany NYE tourney after skipping two (for financial reasons, not lack of addiction). It feels good to be back in the crease (yes, I know the humorous potential here, but it's still less dirty than 'five-hole') It was fun seeing some folks I hadn't seen for 3-4 years. Also playing bingos not played before was pretty cool.
I really appreciated how low-key (no lowkey#?) the attendees were, which made for some pretty enjoyable environs. And not having the block ('s businesses) shut down so early and often was nice too. All hail the Queen of Div. B! dianagram was clearly on a hot streak as her bingers below show! I was 4-0 against her going in and am now 4-2.

Sexy TILEFISH was a first-timer with LEFTISH on board, homeless. I had had (B)RAIDERS* kicked off before but the position was mutually beneficial and not just setting my opp. up. I told my opp. 'Nearly everyone has tried [AIRLANES*] once.' I didn't tell him most people are rated about 900 when they attempt it. Similarly ETESIAN + L should get an E fish.
DuELIN(G)S*, OBLaTED*, LAGgIER*: (sigh) these were sloppy and if I had been more disciplined the VALID ones in these racks should have been played. (P)IGHEADS* was really the only one I didn't feel bad about since there was no other bingo (chance) there.
Newly-rare sighting of poor sportsmanship foiled!
So I'm in a game with a legendary sourpuss. Let's call him Mr. S. I came from behind to bingo-bango with (G)ENTIL(e)S then ENAMOUR and left in the bag is AAU (*sad trombone*). Thankfully, he has to block AU(R)A and I've got the out in two, but not before he whips out 'Oh, that's so lucky, that was the only bingo in that pool!' I considered myself lucky to have the snap-back answer to his sourness within 3 seconds and it's pretty basic. The only thing I can figure (in terms of why this STEE didn't see it) is that it's 'new.' TILES: AAAEMNROUU. Anyway, deflation of sourness achieved, and more importantly HE WAS O.K. WITH THE LOSS! AND we discussed a position in the game where he missed a bingo (which I would have bingoed through anyway, so it came out in the wash).
I really appreciated how low-key (no lowkey#?) the attendees were, which made for some pretty enjoyable environs. And not having the block ('s businesses) shut down so early and often was nice too.
