Scrabble geekery.

Yes I realise I have bored you in the past with my tales of Scrabble/Scrabulous geekery, but I have to do it once more. I not only beat my previous highest bingo, but completely destroyed it. The word? Samshoos! It's a Chinese spirit made from rice. I didn't realise it existed until I checked the dictionary in the Scrabulous game. The score I got for it? As if you are really interested, but to play along - I got 194 points! To say this made me whoop with excitement wouldn't be a lie. Yes I'm a geek. Yes I know you don't care. I'm going to have a cookie now in celebration, with a nice wee cup of tea. Oh and for proof, here it's:



I might just do nothing for the rest of the day since I'm unlikely to surpass these heights. Oh, but Nigerian 1970s exchange rate policies are calling me!

Uber-Geek.

No, this isn't a post about Richie I'm afraid. Just another boastful entry about my Scrabble score. Today I finally managed to break through the 500 point barrier. To say I'm pleased at my geekery would be an understatement.

Look!

I know I know!

I've already boasted about getting a good Scrabble score on Scrabulous on Facebook on here, but I managed another belter today that I feel obliged to share with you all. I managed to get all seven letters out on one move, as well as on TWO triple word score squares! I played unitages and garnered a total of 122 points for my troubles.

LOOK!:


I'm such a geek.

A thing of beauty.

I love Scrabble. it's one of my favourite games. It saddens me that I no longer get to play it face to face very often, so imagine how pleased I was to find that Facebook had it in an application called Scrabulous. Pretty pleased. Not as pleased as when I played the word 'tentacle' for all 7 letters out and a 50 point bonus. I was very pleased about that. Not as pleased as after my next go which will be ANOTHER 7 letter word out and ANOTHER 50 point bonus! LOOK!


I love Scrabble. I suppose you'll be wanting proof of my play though?

Here it's!


Who would have thought the word 'invalid' would make someone so happy? And before any of you start trying to burst my bubble- I play the games for a couple of minutes over the course of a few days. And yes, the thesis is *nearly* done. Honest.

Still, two 7 letter words in a row. That NEVER happens to me. I'm so glad blogger allows me to document this milestone in my life.
