#note This play jumped out to me right away. Then I said to myself, "no, that's not a word." But then I thought it was again. I was totally vacillating, but in the end convinced myself that it wouldn't have jumped out so quickly if it wasn't a word. I knew two things for sure: that CUBAGE was a word, and that CUBITAGE didn't make any logical sense. So why did I play it? Because I'm a bonehead.
>Dave_Koenig: ?ACGITU -- -83 70
#note The real bingo that I should have played on this turn or the next one was AUGITIC. Even if I had seen it, I probably would have been unsure if it was good. But the really odd thing about doubting it is that I think I've played it before. Funny how memory works. (or doesn't)

>Dave_Koenig: ?IINTTT 6A TITTINg +65 151
#note What the hell was I doing here? Funny thing is that if Joel hadn't blocked the G, I would have played TITTLING*, which I was sure was good.
>Dave_Koenig: ?IINTTT -- -65 86
#note Joel mentioned out loud that he did not know whether it was good, but he correctly challenged.

#note What I shoulda done last turn.
>Joel_Sherman: GLMU 5C GLUM +22 136
>Dave_Koenig: ?INNOTU 13I NONsUIT +75 172
#note The best bingo, and it got a long hold from Joel. I was thinking that my earlier idiocy might pay off with a free turn here, but he correctly decided not to challenge. This one I knew 100% not only that it was good, but also that it was a verb.
>Joel_Sherman: EINRV N10 VIN.ER +34 170
>Dave_Koenig: ADEJQTU 15J ADJU.E +66 238
#note Scrabble is so unfair sometimes.
>Joel_Sherman: AEFT D1 FETA. +24 194
>Dave_Koenig: OOQRSTZ O1 ZOO +45 283
#note Don't you just hate it when your opponent plays like a putz and draws EVERYTHING?
>Joel_Sherman: EEMS 1D .EMES +30 224
>Dave_Koenig: EGOQRST K5 Q. +22 305
>Joel_Sherman: ESTWY 2A SWE.TY +57 281
#note Yes, I did say "nice play." Yes, I did not hold. Yes, I'm still amazed that this is phony.
>Dave_Koenig: BEGORST 14H GOB +25 330
>Joel_Sherman: FIW O5 WIF. +10 291
>Dave_Koenig: AEIRRST 10C TARRIES +67 397
#note I have to commend Joel on his restraint for not saying, "nice find."
>Joel_Sherman: S 7G ....S +20 311
>Dave_Koenig: ?ABDILX D8 BI.XiAL +36 433
#note I figured it was only fitting to add to the idiocy of this game by playing the blank for zero points. BIAXAL is the play of course, and I was pretty sure it was good. But I knew that a lot of the -AXIAL words don't lose the I, and the thought of losing a third turn to a phony was a bit too embarrassing.
>Joel_Sherman: DELNPRR 13B PL.NED +22 333
>Dave_Koenig: D F13 .D +7 440
#note Of course, I missed an outplay for 5 more points.
