In an effort to internationalise the game, a group of nutcases periodically revise the allowed vocabulary. Scrabble vocabulary developed into a bizarre jargon claimed to cover words from other languages. If you only play with friends, use any dictionary without the word "Scrabble" on its cover. This blog is primarily concerned with competitive Scrabble and the incompetence of some of its custodians..

AFTER THE TINY VIC CHAMPS

I was sitting alone minding my own business at the end of the tournament. Uppermost on my mind was a silly woman (GC) I played a couple of hours before then. She always stirred up trouble, when facing me in a game. Her ploy is to put the bag on the table when replenishing her rack, with the opening facing her, and wait for my reaction. I would politely ask her to observe the rule of handling the bag; albeit that the rule was phrased by a linguistic retard.  She would then make some stupid utterance and ignore what I said. One of those days, I might refuse to play her and put the TD on the spot; especially that the Vic committee have been forewarned by an email, to which I had no response. I will discuss this in another post.

I usually help with tidying up the hall at the end of any tournament, even when a guest interstate. But on that day, I did not. So, while peacefully sitting alone away from the crowd, another silly woman (CJ) came rushing at me saying, “Thank you for your help”. She then dashed away without waiting for a response, as if to say that she had overwhelmed me by her over-simplistic remark.

In the final analysis, if I decided to continue to play this silly scrabble, I have to swallow similar stupidity and suffer intellectual indigestion.
