“I’d like to buy a vowel”
From Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish:
“Everybody in the family played Scrabble and took great pride in hoarding Ks and Qs and slapping them down in long, fancy words on triple-letter scores.” — Going Rogue, p. 12.
Any good Scrabble player knows it’s impossible to “hoard” Ks or Qs, as there is only one of each in a set of tiles. As a fellow Scrabble player said, “Perhaps she was thinking she was playing Poker, where hoarding Kings and Queens might be beneficial?”
First off, I cannot imagine, even for a moment, Mooselini playing Scrabble. It is so unlikely that I think it is safe to say it didn’t happen.
Secondly, the only word with Q that she is likely to know is Quit.
Lastly, she would need three Ks.
Quit indeed – quit a 5k run today!
perfect title, you kumquat
she misspelled whored.
‘ok, queue up, mmmkay?’
(going to hell)
You mean OK is not a worthwhile word in Scrabble?
Quack.
randal gets the prize!
i bet when she played with bristol the first word was
kondom
how about, “Kunt?”
‘Long, fancy words’ notwithstanding…with Palin, there’s no I in Q.
;>)
There’s no way in hell that family plays Scrabble.
Long, fancy words: “DQ,” “KFC.” Play the words you KNOW or someone can challenge and you get your clock cleaned.
This little guy beat all the Palins.
Anyone who would make that dumb mistake about scrabble clearly has never opened the box.
