Oh, now this is just totally not fair.
Though I do kind of enjoy the notion of being a villain...

Good luck, BD. I'll cross my fingers for you, but don't expect me to hold my breath, as I might not survive. ;) I kid, I kid!

No need to kid, it's probably true.

You're still going to beat me, unfortunately crowd support doesn't really help in Scrabble. As far as I know, there is no home field advantage.

One of the joys of Scrabble is that no matter how much better one player may be than the other, the game is pretty much never a foregone conclusion. Luck of the draw, the way the letters fall on the board, etc. play into every match.

Sure, Wilson. Sure. We all know you've found a way to rig the "chance" parts of the game. ;)

Hell, I wish. I take my share of lumps (well, maybe not quite my full share). For instance, Shamm absolutely
pounded me a couple of weeks ago. Beat me by almost 200 and laid 3 bingos on me.
But I've beaten him about 5 straight since then.

Dude, don't you know about the pirate code? While the articles varied from captain to captain, many vessels forbade cheating in games on pain of various punishments, and some outlawed gaming and gambling altogether.

After 3 rounds the score is BD - 81, wilson - 64. Now, if I pull this off, will anyone run naked down Franklin Street? ;)

And yes, wilson, I know we've got a long way to go. I am counting no chickens.

I tend to root for the underdog.

I just want the damn pictures.
BD - now you stepped in it. Don't taunt Wilson... Bad news. Boy's got a temper...

Thanks for the warning.
Is wilson like Happy Fun Ball? I got a Happy Fun Ball for my kids. They love to taunt it. A favorite comment is "Happy Fun Ball - You stink!" I do not think wilson stinks. I think wilson is a Scrabble god. I also think Shammrog is a Scrabble god.
You never told me Shamm, did I make you look?

As much fun as it is to taunt you with nude photos, Shamm, I'm afraid the reality could never live up to the fantasy. So, why spoil the fantasy?
