It's called lawn scrabble. Now what are you going to make the board out of?

Boards? Just a thought...

Cicero · 10-15-2008, 11:39 AM

I wasn't asking you tho'....Do you know how much it would cost sweet just to buy enought tiles for one game? Then the board expenses. To make it worth it you would have to set up a permanent scrabble board in your back yard, and what would the neighbor's think?!?

(I want the tiles first)

lol

I feel it is every American's right to have a giant Scrabble board in the back yard...let the neighbors be damned. DAMNED I say!

I could divide the nearby lake into squares using those nylon ropes with foam beads that pools use to divide lanes, and float the tiles. Sure, it would be expensive but cheaper than inventing and manufacturing a Wonkavision machine to shrink me down enough that I could have the same 'giant tile experience' with the normally sized tiles. Or I could just buy the H, E, L, and P tiles and glue them to the roof until someone responded and came up with a better idea.

You know, if Gilligan had had giant scrabble tiles, they wouldn't have been on that damn island nearly as long!

It is a great boat idea. If we made a boat out of them like the guitar boat guy, we could randomly name the boat whatever we wanted, and make other people come up with a better name.

Shawnee123 · 10-15-2008, 12:12 PM

omg...if I were good at art stuff I have the funniest image in my head of a scrabble boat.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
Diz had developed an attraction for an ornamental llama on my landlady's shelf.

Let me explain. They come from Peru, and have an open cabinet on which are displayed various knick knacks and souvenirs from their home country. There are two llamas - not precisely toys, but not statues as they are both covered in what I assume is real llama hair. One of them is short like a sheep, the other long and fluffy.

It's the fluffy one which has captivated Diz.

Got up this morning to find it outside my door.
And tonight there was a crach bang wallop from downstairs, and then an ominous bumping sound. Diz had fetched Senor Llama (in the process knocking a figurine on the floor, mercifully unbroken) and was bringing him upstairs.

On the one hand it is really funny. On the other, I will have to red-facedly ask her to move them to a higher shelf and explain why. They have been away for the last two days, but I know how determined the Diz-cat is.

I've already ordered him a Yeowww! catnip toy, so I hope when it arrives it distracts him enough not to notice where his new prey has gone.

At least he wasn't tying to mate with the lama.

laugh. definitely, laugh!

ugh. very tired. 3 days of trial--much longer days than I'm used to anymore. Not to mention that it has not gone well.

and, under the heading of TMI, stupid period decided to arrive on day 2 of trial. AFTER SIX MONTHS with nothing. and of course, I had no supplies or anything. Bah! I'm never gonna be officially menopausal. Very disappointing, not to mention tiring and discomforting.

On Sunday night we were watching the news all together and my son Aden said, "I'll be so glad when the American election is over. I'm sick of hearing about it."

I thought that was pretty funny.

Tell that smart young man the rest of us here are tired of it as well. I voted Tuesday so it all over for me. Now "I couldn't care less".
