Word Quiz
Not sure if anybody will even see this since I'm on livejournal so infrequently, but I stumbled upon a word list that surprised me today and have decided to turn it into a word list quiz. So, here goes... What are the other 2 words that complete the following list ( Read more... ) -
Knoxville Report
Well, this is pretty embarrassing, but I want my archive for 2011 to be complete, and maybe posting this will help inspire me to study ( Read more... ) -
I'm back.
So, I've decided to study in 2011. It's honestly been a couple of years since I've studied anything, but at this point I think I'm going to lose interest in the game if I don't start studying. Sucking and playing phoney 3s gets old. I have my cardbox ready to go, and I'm starting over at the very beginning: 3s and all of their hooks and top 1000 7s ( Read more... ) -

North Salem NAST 3 of 8
Hurt myself early in this game when I failed to challenge MEWLINGS* and then missed two bingo options of my own (ROULETTE/OUTSTEER) on the very next turn. Anyhow, I think the one interesting play in this game is move 22. I still like my play of PAN over Quackle's choice of PEN to give me a better shot of winning, but perhaps I'm missing something ( Read more... ) -
North Salem NAST 1 of 8
I've finally started tracking all of my racks in tourney games, so this will be the first one I've ever posted. This is probably the highest rated player I've ever beaten in tournament play, so I was interested to see if I played well or just got lucky. It appears that I started out horribly (bad challenge), played a bunch of second best plays in ( Read more... )
