Today's media rant

Everyone's heard of Bananagrams. How many have heard of Syzygy?

Apparently NPR hasn't. It's not clear whether the purported inventors of Bananagrams have or not, but if they have they're probably not telling.

games, incoherent rants

Slow and plodding... qacdefeej August 18 2011, 16:20:56 UTC

"Her father, Abe, had been frustrated by the slow, plodding nature of Scrabble."

Well, Scrabble is as Scrabble does. Not the game's fault you don't know enough words to keep it interesting.

pfft.

Indeed. Slow and plodding? That's you, not the game. Try playing it by tournament rules, with a chess clock. Finished within 50 minutes or the next one's free.

(Oh, dear. That's a possessive apostrophe attached to a thing, not a person. Is that allowed?)

Yep, it's allowed.
