The Endless Game by Bex., Kyle CROCODILE, bridget orchid
July 22nd, 2007 7:51 PMNo board. Each player takes 7 scrabble tiles and makes their own individual crossword puzzle. As soon as anyone has used all thier tiles they say "Go." Everyone else takes a drink and everyone takes a new tile and adds it to thier own puzzle (which may be deconstructed and rearranged at whim). Bonus points for spelling words agreed by all present to be "cool."
Best results would surely be found in a crowed bar, late at night. Zeitgeist was chosen for its abundance of tables and wankers. But upon our tardy arrival, the slatted tables were discovered to be too inhospitable for crosswords, especially for thier inhabitants who were generally in a state of advanced inebriation.
After one unfortunate incident in which crosswords were made containing no actual crossings or words, tiles were lost, and beer was spilled all over Bex Drive's lap, the rules were quickly changed by the cunning Kyle Crocodile to meet the needs of drunk stoned users of slatted tables:
Each player takes 15 tiles and makes a sentance. Those who make the coolest and most sensible sentances, or do so quickly, or using big words, may give themselves a hardy cheer and brag to those around who are not too stoned to listen.
The SF0 veterans begin playing again. When one man's curiosity is peeked. He likes scrabble, he says, but is too drunk right now. Perfect. He joins us and quickly his entire group joins us.
After a several rounds, Bex and Borchid get up and go to the bathroom. Kyle follows suit and the table continues playing without missing a beat (or noticing).
After an extended absence (long bathroom line), we then seemlessly reenter the game and continue making awesome sentances.
The odds were great against us. My lap was sopping. The scrabble tiles are now sticky and smell like beer. But we triumphed and a great time was had by all!
Our first victims (or were we theirs - my beer-logged lap asks).

During the beta round, our strangers made no real words or cross words, nor followed any of the rules. But they had fun dropping tiles in the dirt and spilling beer into my purse...
Dude.

He was quite proud of himself for making the word 'blow,' which he spelled with an 'M.' Use of the word "Duuuuuuuuuude" proliferated across the table. The advent of the Tamale Lady's arrival ended the game.
Attempt # 2.

Kyle begins again when the beta crowd leaves with new rules and new, brainier looking victims in mind (note the glasses in the background - soon to be our first success!)
The rules explained and apparently understood.

Though only one guy asked, the whole gang followed. Yay!
Poetry. Poetry, I tell you!

Bex gives herself cool points (which go unnoticed by the other players).
"Damn, oxygen is fab."

Kyle enjoys a cigarette after he's finished with his sentance: DAMN OXYGEN IS FAB.
...Way down.

He talked on and on with passion about how meaningful this was: HI FEDS ELF JURORS A good time was had!

Just had pleasant first experience at Zeitgeist on visit to SF with a pitcher of the Amber ale. Friend explained that if you sit there long enough you automatically make friends.
I love playing scrabble. My grandmother trained me well. I'm wondering if my ninja scrabble training would spill over into speed scrabble....i will have to make an attempt to find out on some drunken occasion sometime soon. Yeah for choosing Zeitgeist....perfect choice.
Scrabulous.com lets humans play against robots!!?? Who decides what word is coolest???
By the way, it is stated in the scrabulous rules that there should be no unfounded accusations of other players. Not that anyone should take that as a challenge...
…for scrabble and Zeitgeist!!!
