Wedding Crashers is seriously funny. And Scrabble is now my least favorite game ever – 84 points for “tarsals”? C’mon now.

metatarsils.
The correct spelling is tarsals and that is what was played on the board. This journal entry needs an update.
done. i hate scrabble.
I LOVE SCRABBLE….BUT it’s not the weird words that score 84 points…it’s mostly strategically placing all your tiles to make a simple word and getting as many triple and double bonuses as you can…. lynn
aaron and i (and now charlie chi) are the most defensive scrabble players who have ever lived, so the odds of having an opening to put high scoring words is really low – aaron in particular has a habit of surrounding the triples with letters that are just impossible to use. as a result, “tarsals” and its ilk tend to be the destroyers in our (too frequent) games.
if jen ever forgives aaron and i for our time spent crashing at her new place then someday we can reconvene the brotha-sista club and introduce you two to aaron’s scrabble treachery.
