1 HERESY!!!!!

2 *rending of flesh with fingernails*

GAAAAAHHHH!!!

THE SCRABBLE GOD WILL SMITE THEE!!

3 What the hell!!!?!?  What kind of bullshiite is this??  Why would anyone mess with a classic like Scrabble? 

I'll tell you one thing - This.Will.Not.Stand.

4 I used to work with a guy in Chicago who was the National Scrabble Champion.

He won $25,000 in Las Vegas, and even got a blurb in the paper.

Other than Scrabble, he seemed normal.

5 Fucking fuckity fuck!

6 I have a few word combos that should be added

7 *prepares suicide bomb*

8

You know whose fault this is?  LUCIFER!

Let's see ... that's 12 for the "F" on the triple letter score for a total of 20 AND it's a double word score so that's 40 PLUS I used all seven tiles for a bonus of 50.  The Devil and I get 90 points!  Take that motherfuckers!

9 Fuckheaded

Fuckbag

Treefucked

Fuckinglyfuckedfuckbagoffuck

10 WHY? WHY? First nukes and now this. It's like I'm taking crazy pills.

11

They just love Scrabble so much that they cannot wait to fundamentally change it.

Fuckin' revolutionaries are everywhere these days.

It's anarchy, I tell you.  ANARCHY!!!!

12 In the Age of Obama, all word games must allow the use of the word "Obama" as a valid answer.

I think that was in an Executive Order. Or something.

13 thefuck is a proper noun?

14

Shut 'er down, boys.  The dream is over.

 

 

15

Let Me Be Clear. 

We WILL attain our dream of social justice by permitting proper nouns to be fair game in Scrabble.  The feeble MUST have the same rights as other Americans to play the game.  And it will make it easier to get rid of those damn "Q"s and "Z"s when you can spell "Queenie" and "Zohan" and get points for it.

16 You've got to be fucking kidding me, what next, allowing words in LOLcat?

17 And I now see Alice referenced LOLcatspeak, sorry, blind rage overtook me.  I friggin' love Scrabble.

18 Glorious day. One can now use "Obama." And Rham. This is awesome.

19

I can tell you're enraged, you actually read the blog.

And not just the blog, but a comment!

Now that's angry.

20 Wow... an hour and a half, and 21 comments.  Y'all take your Scrabble pretty serious around here.

21 When the Trilateral Commission did their clumsy assassination of Luther Vandross, I said nothing.

When the British Acupuncture Council filled the sky with chemtrails that can read our thoughts, I insulated my attic with a double-thick layer of old AOL installation disks and let bygones be bygones.

But this...<i>this.</i> THIS.
No, sir. No. I will not. Never.

The first person I play Scrabble with who uses their last three tiles to spell 'JLo' on a double word score will be summarily enslaved and sold to a family of meerkats.

22

This just in, in an effort to make the game more fair Monopoly has new rules about the bank loaning money.

23 Dude.  Scrabble is srs bzns.  

24

This is obviously a plot by fanatical right-wing racist teabaggers in a desperate attempt to be able to use "W." when they are down to their last few tiles.

Luckily, we still have REAL patriots, like Cindy Sheehan to stand in opposition to this heinous and horrifying abridgment of justice.

25

We will be keeping track of the failure to use "Obama" in each game of Scrabble you play.

Multiple oiffenses will lead to IRS audits and the confiscation and "redistribution" of your Scrabble game to a more deserving family that is properly worshipful knows how to show their appreciation.

26

What next? Hypens? Emoticons? Will it never end?

 

[Did any of you read the full article? Mattel will make a special version with this rule, and Mattel doesn't/can't sell their versions in the US. Hasbro has the Scrabble rights in the US.]

 

27 I fail to see how this helps Michelle's children.

28

What's next, removing the concept of waging battles from the game of Risk?

29 Is "Hump" a proper noun or a verb?

30 Agil - WTF are you saying? Like I'm not going to be hot in the middle of a Scrabble game, just about to win, when my husband suddenly pulls Dweezil out of his ass for the win, claiming that we were playing according to the British rules. Honestly. Fuck that shit.

31

[Did any of you read the full article? Mattel will make a special version with this rule, and Mattel doesn't/can't sell their versions in the US. Hasbro has the Scrabble rights in the US.]

Yeah, sure.  Everything is hunkyfreakingdorey until some happy Saturday Night when you have popped the popcorn, mixed the Caipurnias, and Rosetta walks in, wearing pants, and says "I think we should play by the British Rules tonight."

This is an unmittigated disaster.  Even worse than the time when Compos woke everyone up.

32 my husband suddenly pulls Dweezil out of his ass for the win

*Pounds desk, lmao!*

33 It's almost as if the Germans have bombed Pearl Harbor.

34

what about "cocksuckers"?

 

Is plural ok? Do I have to capitalize it?

35 Jackholes?

36 I am SO bringing scrabble sets to the next meetup.

37 and Rosetta walks in, wearing pants - like THAT is going to happen. He still hasn't found the llama that he lent his last pair to.

38

We need a judges ruling: Is Libtard a proper noun?

 

39

What if I wanted to spell "Ann LeSects?"

40

Well wiser, you'd need an "a", two "n"s, "s"s and "e"s, an "l", a "c" and a "t".

41 This post needs a picture:

scrabble lolcats

42

Well wiser, you'd need an "a", two "n"s, "s"s and "e"s, an "l", a "c" and a "t".

Spelling nazi.

43 They will have to pry my classic, no-proper-noun Scrabble from my cold dead hands.

44 "Heidi Klum"

Leonardo DiCaprio FTW!!!

45

Rosetta:  Let's see . . . that's 2 for the G and 1 each for the O, A, T, S, and E.  Plus it's on the triple word score for a total of 21.

Mrs. Rosetta:  WTF is that?  That's not even a word!

Rosetta:  Is too!  Go Google Image it.  *runs and hides, giggling like a retard the whole way*

 

46 how many points is FUCKSALT

47 How do you like the hope and change now? How many points do I get for "howsmyasstaste?"

48 We must consider British rules when deciding on which words are legal in the United States.

49

>... hopes the change will encourage younger people to play.

Good idea.  In the same vein, let's change the rules of Chess.  It should not be legal to capture a pawn on the 6th or 7th rank.  That pawn tried so hard to get promoted that it's not fair to take it off the board!

50 > 36 It's almost as if the Germans have bombed Pearl Harbor again.

51 I used to work with a guy in Chicago who was the National Scrabble Champion. He's one of the three people in the upper ratings (like chess ratings) that doesn't have some form of Aspbergers, schizophrenia, social anxiety disorder, etc, etc. Half of 'em are living off parents and welfare so they can devote their entire lives to the game. (I used to play in tournaments when I lived in Iowa and there was nothing else to do, but my rating sucks.) Q-without-U: QI QAT QADI QAID QATS QOPH FAQIR QADIS QAIDS QANAT QOPHS TRANQ FAQIRS QABALA QANATS QINDAR QINTAR QWERTY SHEQEL TRANQS QINDARS QINTARS QWERTYS QINDARKA SHEQELIM The addition of QI in 2006 really changed the game, and not for the better.

52 Aaaargh, my apologies for the shitty formatting.

how many points is FUCKSALT

Last time I played in a tournament, held in a church, I got to lay down FELLATIO. The nice old lady I was playing against challenged it. Hilarity did not ensue.

53 God forbid any game should be like, you know, HARD. Or require SKILL or anything like that.

(I don't actually care about Scrabble, you understand, but everybody else seems so wound up about it I thought maybe I should try to fit in with the outrage.)

54

Dude 1: There.  "AGRQLBDZ" with two triple letter scores, a triple word score and I used all my tiles again, so that's like 297 points.

Dude 2: Okay, I gave you "LORAXIJ" as the name of the band you might start someday, but this one doesn't even have vowels, man. That's not even pronouncable.

Dude 1: Yeah, it's my cat's new name. It's pronounced "Proper noun." Read the rulebook, loser.

55 55 -- Okay, that story alone was worth the price of admission. LMAO. 

56 @57 - I just laughed so hard I farted.  I'm so glad I'm working late alone, otherwise that'd have been embarrasing.  I'm thinking of renaming my cat Agrqlbdz when I get home.

57 Last time I played in a tournament, held in a church, I got to lay down FELLATIO. The nice old lady I was playing against challenged it. Hilarity did not ensue.

That reminds me of the time the Big Boss' computer got infected and he called me into his office to show me the pop ups he was getting and then asked "What is b-u-k-k-a-"  Me "YOU NEVER NEED TO KNOW THAT" while flinging myself over the screen. 

58 Did they rule on whether quijibo is a word?

59

Those god-damn assholes at Mattel are punching down!!!!!111111!!!!!

{pauses...} Hey, is "asshole" a proper noun?

60 With all the shit they allow in the OSPD, why is this a big deal?  I mean, ZA and QI were legal before this for the love of all that is holy for fuck's sake I tell you.

61 Obama's plan to continue the leap to "Idiocracy"...the complete dumbing down of America.

Keep your pants on the floor..

62 The first rule of Scrabble™ is that Scrabble™ is not a valid word.

63 Was Palin blamed for this yet? or the Tea Party-ers?

64 I can see where this outrage ends already: "Hey, Man... I knew a guy named MRXSPRD once. Yeah, and he pronounced it Fuck You I Win! Taste the rainbow, Bitches!"

65 *scratches bald spot...

Is Geezer a proper name.... or an insult?

66 Listen!  And when momma says listen she ain't playin'!  The amatures who want these changes, proper nouns and all, already play that way and don't need the rules formally changed for their cheating ways.
