if there was an 'i' in 'team' it would only be worth 1 point
minneapolis cable access has caught my fancy. totally scrabble tuesday is one of those shows that appears so bad but you can't stop watching, like a car crash. every tuesday night at 11pm, Hamil the host collides with team minneapolis in a intense game of scrabble. team minneapolis consists of a diverse crowd of viewers who call in, with a different viewer calling in for each turn. there are even some regulars for team minneapolis like team fresh and team tony danza. pretty much people have a party in their house and call into the scrabble show to assemble words with their team. random lo fi graphics are thrown across the screen to interject the constant view of the scrabble board, things like toy alligators, photos of kittens and screen multipliers.
now i have never truly played scrabble but i have spent many hours passing by the grueling games between my mother, grandmother and aunt. so maybe i have picked up a few tricks. so i would like to assemble a team, neigh a dynasty. bring your dictionaries over to my place on tuesday evening, and we will try and put together some triple word scores.

Scrabble is probably the greatest game save Yahtzee, Ultimate Outburst, Uno, Chutes and Ladders, and a couple other games. Jill and I play from time to time. Let me know how that works out for you.
