TeeJay,

In Scramble, I have been taking the strategy of taking my time looking for longer words and then see if there are shorter words in them...  What's your approach?

You seem to find 50% more words than me all of the time.  Mostly the 3-4 letter variety.

I look at the entire board for a couple of seconds and see the words .. then start ticking them off.  I usually start with the smaller words then build on those with surrounding letters.  If I see an "s" or an "ed" or "er" on the board I look for words to go in front of it .. make sense?  For me small first ... leads to big! 

I also only use the "scramble" boost and switch up the board at the 1min mark.

If you are doing it right...  But I can relate.

Oddly enough, I don't like them...

Or I should say, I like the waffle, but not when it's loaded up with strawberry pie filling and whip cream and such.  It's supposed to be breakfast, not desert..

A little butter and some authentic maple syrup is perfect.

I agree 100%!   Just butter and Maple syrup please.

Unfortunately they spike my blood sugar really bad so I haven't had one in ages.

Don't know you could be right but then they likely speak French the way Brazillians speak Portugese.

I can make an acceptable espresso at home with are machine, but we discovered a nespresso machine in Paris and they have them here too.  The are like a keurig, but make espresso.  They are are amazing, but a bit pricey for the little cartriges.

Howdy!

I'm hear to break up the sausage fest .. yet again.

It's a gift.

But we have family guy for you

 

Carry on, my pets.

I watch 2 or more episodes of Family Guy every night before I go to bed on the Adult Swim.  I have seen them all .. probably 5 or more times a piece.  I consider myself a fan and expert on all things Family Guy. 

you.are.awesome!

 

Me too.  There might be ONE episode that snuck by me.  I also have season 1-5 on my laptop.

I was looking for a particular episode the other day.  Let me paint the picture...

Peter goes into Meg's bedroom in a diving suit.  I think she was sick.  There was a air hose and Stewey farts into it.  Peter takes a second notice, starts to freak out, then vomits into the diver's helmet...  Please help...



Its the one where Stewie kidnapps Star Trek: The Next Generation cast.....Whill Wheaton.
And where Meg finds religion in Kurt Cameron

It's the "Not all dogs go to heaven" (I had to google the title....)

Belgium has three official languages, Dutch, French, and German.  A subtle insult in France is to ask you if you are from Belgium if you (as an American) speak French poorly.

How would you respond?  Say "no, American" and be the guy who doesn't get it?

Or, I would probably say, "no, I learned from your mama".  Yeah, that would work.

 

I guess over there, they would be "votre mere" jokes?
