scrabble in the slope — Brooklynian

scrabble in the slope

edited November -1 in Park Slope
All humbleness aside, I have discovered recently that I kick ass at scrabble. But I don't know very many people in the area who play (or who are willing to play me after being defeated). Would anyone be interested in doing a weekly or bi-weekly scrabble gathering in the slope or know of any currently happening?

(disclaimer: I am a terrible shit-talker and occasional yeller of "boo-YAAAAH" and "IN YOUR FACE" when I get a really good one, and by really good I mean using every single one of my letters and making a word that has a q AND a z in it. But it's all in good fun and I will buy you a beer if you beat me.)

    I think I remember WhyFi saying that he could TOTALLY SCHOOL YOU at Scrabble. In fact, I think he said he could easily beat you without even using any vowels! :shock:

    I don't know if they still do it, but Commonwealth used to have a Scrabble tournament on Sunday afternoons. If you find out any info, please post it.

    WhyFi, is this true?

    I think most of the boards at Buttermilk are missing pieces, might have to make this a bring your own sorta thing.

    Same problem. It's weird, isn't it. I figure you have to 1) be quick with anagrams and know some tricks for certain letters 2) be more into going for colored squares than the pure joy of vocabulary.

    I will kick your ass so hard you'll need bus fare to get back from the other side of the park.

    I’ll kick your ass so hard you’ll have to unbutton your collar to shit.

    I’ll kick your ass so hard your breath is gonna smell like shoe polish for a week.

    And to quote Pootie Tang, I will draw you a picture of how I'm gonna kick your ass, then mail it to you ten days in advance. The picture gets there right? You're goin', "What the hell is this?" and I'll knock on your door, Promptly kick your ass and you still won't know what happened to you!


    In closing: you will lose.
