I'm probably starting a nerd contest (http://achewood.plagiarist.com/viewtopic.php?p=23590#23590) here, but I just have to ask:  ya ever play a Scrabble game so nice you had to take a picture of the board?

Now, this is obviously not a perfect game--you can clearly see the three unused tiles.  But I think it was a pretty darn good one.

Kudos on that lovely little arrangement of D and I.

That's hard-core Scrabble, right there. Nice board and everything. The only board game I ever sprung for the nice one of was Monopoly.

Oh man, I hate playing Scrabble on one of those flat cardboard sets.  Letters all sliding around.  All havin' to look at it sideways 'cuz the letters'll move if you try to turn it.

I love Scrabble.  I started the Scrabble club at my high school, then we merged with the boggle club, THEN we merged with the chess club.  God that was a nerdfest, but so fun.

One time in Scrabble I scored 147 points on a single word.  I wish I had taken a picture of that time; it didn't occur to me though.

How about that.  It means "a thousand dollars."  What do you know (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gee)?

The best three letter standby is 'qat.'

I think the spelling of "a thousand dollars" is "G" not "gee", which means "A mild expletive or exclamation, as of surprise, enthusiasm, or sympathy."

You know what I'm sayin', G?
