Fuck Scrabble
There are few things in this world I hate more than Scrabble. Every time I play, I get yelled at for some inane reason like "You can't put three-letter words in the middle" or "Lustnutz isn't in the dictionary." I HATE HATE HATE IT. In fact the only reason I abide by its existence at all is because a friend of mine, a lovely, blonde NYC friend of mine, made the funniest joke of all time about guys who automatically assume that because you're a. smart and b. literate you'd like nothing more than to play the SUCKIEST SUCK GAME of all time with them. If mems serve, she said, "Uh huh, yeah...Scrabble...what's a five-letter word for 'You're SO not getting laid tonight?'"
Oh it brings a smile to my face even as I type. For that gem, I gave her a special initial Scrabble tile keychain for Christmas a few years back...which I hope she promptly threw in a gutter somewhere because it, like every instance I've played the game from whence it sprang, BLEW.
But anys. KJ, darling, this is for you:
And the next time I'm in New York, I'm recreating it in your bedroom. With those exact words.
