I think it's cruel and unusual that I introduce John to "Othello" last night and he kicks my ass in mere minutes...am I not mortal? Do I not have an ego???

Similarly, I believe they (they, being the people who do such things) will strip me of my degree in English if they ever find out that when playing scrabble last night my "big" words of the evening were, "Hoards, Quell, Nut, Rum and Teat". Obviously, I lost that game too...by quite a large margin.

That being said, it's a priceless moment when you triumphantly lay down the tiles T-E-A-T and both you and your main squeeze can't stop laughing.
