#note Really confused about what to do here. I hate playing for the bingo but feel I have to. His defense against that kind of play is hard because he'll feel a need to block the R and the D row. But my real target with this play was pulling an O for DOORMAN along the B8 line, although A, E, ?, and T also pull bingos that hit in the D row.

Q suggests R(A)DIO hoping that I pull some of the juicy stuff in the bag.

#note woohoo i hit it!

I had so many chances to get myself into this game and kept whiffing on them. Well done to Ben for capitalizing on my buffoonery.
