It's happened many times before: "Man, I wish proper nouns were allowed in Scrabble. I have the best word!"
Well, Christie and I tried it. We decided to play Scrabble using only proper nouns. It should be easy, right? We always wish we could use proper nouns. This will be a breeze.
Not so much.
Turns out not being able to use real words is insanely difficult. We played through half a bag of letter tiles and quit. Here's our outcome.
My favorite is the name "Fergie," and I think "CW" (the television station that plays shows like One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek reruns) is pretty hysterical.
I think we'll stick to regular old Scrabble from now on.
(And as far as the title of this entry goes, I'm sorry about the corniness.)
"Dite"? Doesn't sound like a real name to me!
ReplyDeleteoh..."dite" is a long story. it's kind of a name, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThere was song that was about leaving your lover and said things like "just make a new plan, Stan" and other rhyming phrases.
ReplyDeleteI had it stuck in my head and made up my own line: "leave in the night, Dite." Brian hated it because he thinks Dite isn't a real name. But it's in a song, so obviously it IS.
Best title EVA.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I dropped some tiles during a previous game... and said, "MY EYES MY EYES!"
Then I showed Brian the tiles, I and I. We laughed really hard (probably because it was late and we were sleep drunk).
p.s. this game was pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it would be easier to use the Scrabble tiles with proper nouns too! That's funny that you guys tried that.
