A moment 'll never forget.

Okay, yesterday, my english class was supposed to take a test, but due to a problem with the Xerox machine, we couldn’t/ So, we just decided to hold a Scrabble tournament instead.

Last five minutes of the game, I see a chance to get a triple word score plus an extra 50 points for using all my letters. You know what magical word it was that won me the game?

“Spoony”.

The looks on everyone’s faces when they found out it was a real word! It’ll warm my heart il the day I die.

So yeah, just thought I’d share this with everyone.

How’d you prove it was real?

That has got to be the greatest thing I’ve read on the internet! :cool:

With a dictionary. duh

That was quite obvious but not every odd fucking word is listed, or else I wouldn’t have asked.

Might wanna study for that test.

“A moment 'll never forget.” - Forgot an entire word there

“It’ll warm my heart il the day I die” - Missed 3 letters in until.

I write better than I type. Besides, my keyboard’s really crappy.

And yeah, someone challenged me on it, and they consulted a dictionary.

This is SO freakin’ cool.

I bet you were like :yipee: and they were like ::dekar!:: and then some dude was like :noway: and then you checked it and he was like :thud: and you were like :mwahaha:.

:slight_smile:

Playing the game thingy, you know, with the words and the tiles and stuff, it is not easy for me to, you know, uh, do.

Maybe its my, uh, vocabulary…

Wow Vocabulary is part of your Vocabulary.

Hate to be pedantic, but as an avid Scrabbler myself, I’ve got to ask how you can use all your letters on a 6-letter word :noway:

Sorry 'bout that :wink:

Okay. Val, you get da gold star!

Hmm … I oughtta use this in Super Adventure Yar sometime … Of course, I’d have to introduce Val first …

if you check the dictionary, you’ll find a couple different ways to spell “Spoony”. I just went with the one you guys are most familiar with.

That made my day.

Nice story, but I like mine more.

A few months ago, the chat was hit with one of its regular phases of playing Playsite games, in this case it was Scrabble. Urk, SD, Merc, and I play. Urk is cheating and pulling weird words out of his ass. Merc is just Merc. Sun Demon? I dunno. Urk had to quit early because of his funky timezone, so it’s down to basically just SD and me. SD’s beating me the whole game, but I’m closing the gap. It comes down to the final turns. SD has one letter left, and it was probably a vowel. Merc was Merc. It was my turn, I had 4 letters left. O, O, I, and E. Now, I needed to somehow use all four letters in the right spot to pull ahead and win. SD’s over in the corner gloating. Then it dawns on me. The golden spot. I place all four letters and bust out MOW, DID, ET, and the best word of all OORIE. Now, the game before, Urk was cheating as per his nature, and he used the word OURIE. I know he’s cheating, but I look it up on Hasbro, and yep, OURIE is a word, but one of its variations was OORIE, so I knew I had it won. With the placing of those letters, I get just enough points and then some to win the game. And with that game, I can forever taunt SD with the Nature Boy Ric Flair’s classic taunt: To BE the man, you’ve gotta BEAT the man! WOO!

And now, the magical winning word.

Words can not describe how hard that rocks Val

I HATE YOU 984. YOU DIE. or something. :stuck_out_tongue:

Very cool Val. I’m still pissed about the time my friend beat me at the last second with “boobies”.

Hehehehe! It’s little things like this that make me smile.

Uh, at the end of the game where there’s no tiles left in the bag and you only have 6 tiles left maybe.
