>Tasha: AEFJNQT 8G QAT +24 24
#note Another fun club game.
>Dan_Terkell: IIIIIII -IIIIIII +0 0
>Tasha: AEEEFJN I6 JE.E +13 37
#note The only play I considered was I3 FANJET, but I ddn't play it for obvious reasons. It's also ironic that I see it NOW when I didn't the turn before.
>Dan_Terkell: CLO J5 COL +20 20
>Tasha: AEFINOS 5J .OIF +18 55
>Dan_Terkell: HI 4L HI +25 45
>Tasha: AEEMNST K7 MEANEST +73 128
#note I didn't notice that this also plays at 10D until about twenty seconds into Dan's turn. But playing it at K7 is better anyway.
>Dan_Terkell: GIT 9F GIT. +20 65
>Tasha: DELOOST 10A TOLEDOS +79 207
>Dan_Terkell: ?AEIOUZ A8 AU.OlIZE +194 259
>Dan_Terkell: ?AEIOUZ -- -194 65
#note I immediately said "challenge" but without hitting my clock. Then in true Tasha-like fashion, I had to THINK about it. But then I came to my senses and remembered that it's spelled with a Y. Not only that, but it's not on the five vowel eight list. Doh.
>Tasha: ADEIRRY A7 DIE.ARY +36 243
#note It took all I had not to play the bingo here. I took about a minute looking for any huge Z plays on column A. I don't think Dan would use the blank for a non-bingo (no matter how high scoring the play), but I'm not going to take any chances.

>Tasha: AFILRTU D4 FAULTI.R +74 317
>Dan_Terkell: ?ABDEIU 13D DAUBIEs. +64 164
>Tasha: ACGLOSU C3 COG +21 338
#note The only good thing about CIAO is the points. I'm very much ahead, so I'm not worried about that spot. COG is fine.
>Dan_Terkell: EI 11C I.E +14 178
>Tasha: ABLPSUU J10 UP +14 352
#note I chickened out on LUPUS. I had it set up on my rack. The problem is I also had PULUS (confusing it with PUPUS) set up on my rack until I came to my senses (ULUS does NOT take a P back hook). Naturally, I then started second guessing myself.
>Dan_Terkell: EPW H12 W.PE +39 217
>Tasha: ABEHLSU A1 HAULS +32 384
#note My least favorite play of the game. I chickened out on BLAHS. It is time to review my fives. Actually, I don't need to review my fives. I need to review my FOURS and pay attention to what takes an S. I didn't see HABUS, either.
>Dan_Terkell: ERTX 8K .XERT +60 277
>Tasha: ABDEGOR O3 BOGAR.ED +63 447
#note I was very close to bimboing out here. As soon as I looked at my rack, I instinctively knew that I had a bingo through the T. I thought of ABROGATED, but that's a nine so of course that doesn't work. I wrote down ABDEGORT on my scoresheet and saw BOGARTED, but that's a seven so that's not going to work because it doesn't play anywhere. I then settled on playing BROAD, but fortunately, I came to my senses and it's a good thing too because I had an audience. No need to have an eyewitness to what would have been a Hall of Shame moment.
>Dan_Terkell: EIINRSW 3M RI. +22 299
#note I'm not sure if this is Dan's exact rack (perhaps he had a blank thrown in somewhere), but he apparently missed WINERIES here.
>Tasha: AKNNNRY 12K .NAKY +32 479
#note 12K SNARK and SNAKY sim best. I thought I messed up by not playing on column N (I thought of playing YARN). I played SNARK at first, but then took my tiles back to play SNAKY. I hate keeping K-Y.
>Dan_Terkell: ?INNSVW O12 .INS +21 320
>Tasha: EMNNORV 15H .NVENOM. +14 493
#note I know I didn't make the right play. I just couldn't resist the chance at playing this word (while blocking his outplay of course). But I immediately regretted NOT playing a proper endgame since I didn't even break 500.
>Dan_Terkell: ?NVW M11 V.W +18 338
>Tasha: R 2A .R +4 497
#note Best. :D
>Tasha: (?N) +2 499
#note Who the hell scores a 499?
