The Week in Wordox

I am pleased to report that things are up & running again in Synergy. We seem to be crawling back from the doldrums. Attendance is up, as is enthusiasm. We've even been able to scrape together 4 players for the late night tournaments. DrunkOX was a hoot, as usual. Bahb handles us with dignity & patience.....plus a whip & a chair. There was a little frog snot slung, I just love when she slur-types her words. And Perrin began reporting his losses Winner/Drunkass. No one got hurt & that's the important thing.

A few weeks ago I joined FSW because they have a spiffy little game running in the afternoon, when I like to play my one game of Wordox while the sun is up. I'm a lifelong anglophile, so I have been enjoying my time with our fellow OX'ers across the pond. I'm also learning English...from the English. The other day, when I was playing lainydav, she said, "When I play you, I always seem to boob." I sat there staring at that little chat bubble, trying to decide what she meant. I said, "boob?" Apparently it is tantamount to "goof." I like it & intend to use it. Also, when Mummykins was leaving the room she said, "I'm going to go blob on the couch now." They sure do work their B's over there. If one says they are "marvin," it means they are hungry (starvin'). Many of them swear like drunken sailors, with "fukking" being the fave word. They are a jolly lot & I'm having a blast there.

I posted an entry on my old AOL blog about the movie Barnyard & my worries that it would increase the barnyard madness that has ravaged Synergy & other leagues. Since it's a flop & no one is rushing out to see it, I think I can put those worries to rest. The critics have a common gripe....all the cows (male & female) have udders. Now, wouldn't you think that the animators could have done just a little more research on their subjects? I looked at the poster for the film & yes indeedy, even the bulls have a big old sack hanging from their bellies, made more obvious by the fact that they continuously walk upright when humans aren't looking. Major blunder, they really boobed that one up.

Wordox in Accord is polling its members to see if they want to continue playing in Interleague on Saturdays. I'm a member & I voted to stay with Interleague. I'm crossing my fingers that others will feel the same way. A communal change of scenery is nice once a week.
