*cackles*

We usually have more obscene words than that on our scrabble games. XD

What fun would Scrabble be without the occasional obscenity?

A friend of mine once put down "cuntrag" (tacking "cunt" onto the pre-existing "rag").

Not one of the Scrabble dictionary's approved words, but... we allowed it. ;P

BWAHAHAHA.

I once won a game of Scrabble with "TROGDOR."

My finest moment.

Will demands that "OB" is not a legal move.

No one challenged it. It is therefor legal. >.>

(But I would never have tried to pull that with my sister's boyfriend. Damn national scrabble champions...)

I see a free 's' for that 'i' to go behind for 'is', but other than that - wow, what a bad tile to get :P

Also, I've never actually played scrabble, but I'd really like too XD

I saw that too -- but Mouse used up all her tiles which is an automatic end of game even if anyone else has some left, so I couldn't play it.

It's such a fun game. I've always wondered if there's a live online version or anything... that'd be so great. I should remember to look that up...

There is actually a Hebrew computer game version for it which is really cool.

You get 'abilities' for using really long words, and you can collect 'drops' from certain words and get points for 'sets' of these 'drops'... and sometimes you get access to a puzzle mini-game for extra points.

I used to sit in front of that game with my mom for hours on end.
