This blog hasn't been updated since the Mets won the pennant. Zing! Speaking of "zing," or, I guess, speaking "zing," I would like to issue a warning to you on behalf of all who enjoy the occasional word game. My warning is what follows in bold, if mere placement of the warning directly following the statement describing its delivery was not clear enough: the Scrabble dictionary is an anti-intellectual, consumerist, pro-life conspiracy of corporate America. OK, so I have only anecdotal evidence to support its position on abortion. You may solicit that evidence directly from me, since my keen journalistic integrity forbids me from posting hearsay. But play a game of Scrabble with one of those middle-aged Jews (yes, you) who has memorized those ridiculous Scrabble-ordained 2-letter combinations and the slang words that have been deemed acceptable by that corrupt multinational "toy"-maker known as Hasbro, and you will not only discover the insidious way by which the Scrabble dictionary manages to sustain itself, but you will also, frustratingly, lose.
I propose a boycott of the Scrabble dictionary. Maybe we should just play more Bananagrams, though.
