Introducing Scrabulish!
Currently I'm leading, 289 to 231. But it's quite literally anyone's game.

The adventures of an urbane bar-hopping transplant to New York.
I'm a storyteller in the New York area who is a regular on NPR's "This American Life" and at shows around the city. Moved to New York in 2006 and am working on selling a memoir of my years as a greeting card writer, and (as a personal, noncommercial obsession) a nonfiction book called "How to Love God Without Being a Jerk." My agent is Adam Chromy at Artists and Artisans. If you came here after hearing about my book on "This American Life" and Googling my name, the "How to Love God" book itself isn't in print yet, and may not even see print in its current form (I'm focusing on humorous memoir), but here's a sample I've posted in case you're curious anyway: Sample How To Love God Introduction, Pt. 1 of 3. Or just look through the archives for September 18, 2007.) The book you should be expecting is the greeting card book, about which more information is pending. Keep checking back!

Don't leave me hanging -- what's the definition of SO?
Hey what about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qing_Dynasty
Oh, shoot! I didn't notice SO. Clearly it would have to be something like "SO. n. Soteriology. (British slang.)" But Tracy didn't provide a definition, so we can only wonder.
As for the QING Dynasty. Surely it must be obvious that that's a proper noun! Playing a proper noun in Scrabble is illegal, and I'm just extremely lucky that Tracy was too distracted to challenge me on that other capitalized word, GREEPIAN.
Hey, you stole this idea from me and my friend Alyssa. Although I suppose your version doesn't mention anything about being inebriated.
D'oh! Of course.
I love it!
it's only a matter of time before QWENDLER and WINGTIT become part of the lexicon.
I find it irksome that, even with made-up words, you routinely trounce me by 200 points.
hilarious, you guys!
Hi Dave,
I Googled "Scrabulish," just as you said and voila! Here I am. I would love to play Scrabulish (or even Scrabble) with you soon.
I had a great time last night!
Brooke
