Mrs R has been playing games with me.

[Redstone]

Specifically, "Boggle."

It's a lot of fun. And she's astonishingly good at it, especially for someone whose native language is not English.

Redstone

[Deja Q]

1. I envy you two.

[Redstone]

2. So buy a copy of Boggle, and find someone to play it with.

Can't be that hard.

But I do appreciate your sentiment.

Redstone

[Deja Q]

4. LOL.

I already own Boggle.

Been looking for 16+ years. But we're not supposed to look, of course... :D

[mainegreen]

3. Arg. Word based games. My wife, being an english major, loves them.

Me, I tend to get clobbered.

Good to see you and Mrs R are having fun though!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Redstone!

No fair!

You scared me!

What sort of game is it?

I've never heard of it!

:hi:

:shrug:

[Redstone]

10. Well, you shake some cubes with letters on them into a grid, then try

to make as many words as you can from the letters on the faces of the cubes that are facing up; up and down, across, or diagonally, if that makes any sense to you.

Just go buy a copy. You'll like it, and I bet Mr Peg would too.

6. Boggle is fun...

But Scrabble is my fave.

9. Nobody in my family will allow me to play Scrabble. I've NEVER lost a game

of Scrabble, going back thirty years or so.

And they have long memories, my relatives do.

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Yeah, you've never played me.

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

15. You're on. When and where? By the way, if you win, I buy the beer; but

if I win, I buy the beer.

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. LOL...

So you buy the beer either way?
I don't drink a lot of beer. Rum, on the other hand...
Duckie

[Redstone]

20. Then I buy the rum either way. No reason to be sober when you're

having fun, is there? Besides, if you're drinking rum, you can play the rules of "it may not be a word, but it should be," like "limfrugel" or "kodnatz."

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. I have a scrabble dictionary!

And I have two of the computer games. I'm a complete dork. You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into!
Duckie

[Redstone]

22. My rules: No Scrabble dictionary. Period. I may be a heretic, but I insist on

using a "normal" dictionary.

If you don't it skews the game toward the obsessed, rather than the well-rounded reader.

I'm sure you understand.

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

23. That's acceptable.

You're screwed if you ever come to Oklahoma or if we decide to visit your state. hehehe.

24. Dude, I am so laughing in the middle of my kitchen....

The cats probably thing I'm nuts. Hell, I probably am nuts. :rofl: Good to see you around, my friend, and to read a post like this :)

Let's invent a language. Limfrugel sounds like a fruit, and kodnatz, well, I'll leave that one up to you ;)

[Redstone]

26. Actually, I think Limfrugel should be a cheese. Kodnatz...PLEASE don't leave that

up to me; it could get ugly.

Redstone

[LynzM]

28. LOL, ooh, good point.

Ok, Limfrugel can be a cheese. Kodnatz... is it Code-nats, or Cod-nats? Makes a difference, you know! :rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

7. resisting..resisting..oh the hell with it.

It just *boggles* the mind to think of the Redstones playing such a game.

:hi:

[Redstone]

12. I knew that'd be coming eventually....best to have it come from a friend, yes?

Redstone

[mzteris]

8. QUIDDLER

is our new fav word game..... an added bonus, you can play it in solitaire mode, too.....



edit to change subject from Qudditch to Quiddler. (NOT the same game at all - one is cards and one played on flying brooms! :blush: Though I plead that my son IS watching one of the Harry Potter movies right now - and fatigue from staying up late last night to watch the returns!)

[bicentennial_baby]

11. The Mr and I play Scrabble...

But, the sentiment is the same :)

Except, I still wanna use French words :P

[Redstone]

14. You're on. One at a time or both at once. I don't lose at Scrabble.

Redstone

[bicentennial_baby]

16. eeeeek! I'm scared!

:o

:loveya:

[Redstone]

19. Not to worry. I'm a gracious winner.

Redstone

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Love Boggle!

No one around here wants to play it :cry:

[LaraMN]

25. I Love Balderdash!

Way more than anyone else I can sucker into playing!

:rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

27. I started playing OPERATION with my daughter

that damn buzzer still scares me :D
