Does that have something to do with beating people senseless in Scrabble? If so, then yes.

Obviously we need an explanation. But that was pretty funny. :))

Tres funny. But I first thought of letterboxing that we see in movies.

"LETTERBOXING is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming "treasure hunt" style outdoor quest. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels. Click on the desktop items above to explore this fast-growing hobby."

I know someone that has done it - just a mom/daughter team that had a project where they participated in this at the OP Arboretum.

Explanation really needed? I enjoy beating people senseless in Scrabble, and I do it rather often. Considerably more often than not, at least. Just ask Shammrog. Or Sue. Or BD. Or...well, you get the picture. ;) :ymdevil:

It's something I'd really like to try. I've been wanting to do this for years...couldn't interest my Girl Scout troop, nor my family. Looks like fun! There are a lot of places to do this in the Triangle.

I'd also like to try geocaching, too.

I wish, I'd pay money to see Muhammad Ali Vs. Mike Tyson in Scrabble.
Mike: "What's my name! What's my name?!"
Muhammad: "Umm, I don't think you can use proper nouns"
Oh, Zeller wishes he could be as good as Zoubek.

This is something I found and registered for a couple months ago. It's addicting, though I haven't found one thing

Does Iron Mike get to swap his S's for TH's?

You're definitely getting better, and you'll get me eventually. But not this time.
I love Scrabble buzzer-beaters. :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

Yes, it's true, wilson came from behind to beat my by 4 points in our last Scrabble game. :(( :(( :(( :((

But I did drop 2 bingos on him.

We've started a new one already. Who's rooting for me? My first word was BLAZON for 38 points.
