>Joe_Edley: CLOORT G6 CO.TROL +11 31
>Tasha: ?EEKOPR H11 POKER +43 139
#note I saw RESPOKE and RESPOKEN and passed them up in favor of playing POKER. Scoring 43 points and leaving ER? is better than scoring about 70 and drawing a random rack. POKER sims second to ROPELIKE.
>Joe_Edley: OY J8 .OY +14 45
>Tasha: ?EEEGRX I11 EX +24 163
#note Oh wow. EXERGUE doesn't even play. I don't know where I thought it played but I have EXERGUE=84 ponts written on my scoresheet. How very....Tashalike. After the game, I told Joe I passed it up.

>Tasha: ADEGILP L8 PEA +20 379
#note The only play I considered was 2G PHAGE or PHIAL. I didn't play them because I was afraid of a big score with a Z on row 1. But if I'm going to play here, someghing like GAP is much better.
>Joe_Edley: IIUUV -IIUUV +0 230
>Tasha: DEGILLZ 8L .ILL +18 397
#note I don't want him bingoing on column M. It's going to be a blank bingo through the L.
>Joe_Edley: ?CDEEIS N5 DEC.InES +62 292
>Tasha: BDEGUUZ 6M Z.D +13 410
#note Tashalike* Moment #3: I have to block NAIVE without getting stuck with the Z. I can't play the obvious O1 BUDGE because that leaves me with UZ. I have WUZ but Joe didn't just fart out three National Championship titles. He WILL block WUZ effectively sticking me with the Z. The good news is that ZED does what I'm supposed to be doing. The bad news is that I should be playing O4 ZED which I saw. What had happened was I became convinced that I can play O1 BUDGED after ZED. Brilliant setup see. Of course, Joe'll block, but it'll be less points for him. But for some reason Joe doesn't block BUDGED so I lay down B - U at O1 then I get confused because I wanna know where the hell my D went. Joe: "Did I mistrack???" Me: "Uh, no. I'm being stupid. I thought I had BUDGED." Joe: "You did but you just got rid of the D!"
