\"\"<\/a>I used to work with a guy who thought I was the squarest of the square people in the world.\u00a0 One of his key examples of this was that I enjoy playing board games with my friends at gatherings.\u00a0 (He, conversely, had midgets in dunk tanks and inside of large bowling ball thingees at his shindigs – seriously.)\u00a0 Now I may not always be the hippest cat in the pet store, but I think he exaggerated my lack of coolness a bit.\u00a0 That said, I can only imagine the faces and comments he’d make if I told him about how much fun I had last weekend with some friends.<\/p>\n

There were a few couples of longtime friends and a total of six kids between us, so there wasn’t that much in the way of grown-up entertainment going on during the day.\u00a0 (I almost wrote “adult entertainment,” but that has a different connotation, no?)\u00a0 Once the kids were asleep though, we busted out the wacky fun super happy time…and the alcohol.\u00a0 What followed was a rousing series of Scrabble games – but not your typical Scrabble, mind you.\u00a0 Instead, this was Dirty Scrabble (played on a normal Scrabble board with the regular tiles).\u00a0 The rules were simple: your words didn’t have to be real words, but they had to be dirty in one way or another.\u00a0 I know it sounds simple and juvenile – and you’re 100% right – but it was also hilarious…for us at least.<\/p>\n

The first game started off simply enough; the team didn’t have anything good, so they went with just the letter F by itself.\u00a0 Things got a little stranger and funnier from there.\u00a0 Some words you might expect, like “hole,” tata,” and “bj.”\u00a0 But when someone plays “nard,” another team adds “crab” to the beginning of it, and then someone later makes it “evilcrabnard,” well that’s just pure magic.\u00a0 I was personally proud of my use of “regonad,” a verb many eunuchs and neutered dogs would love to employ.\u00a0 “Slutzoo” was particularly inspired, as was the equal-opportunity “sexinoun.”\u00a0 All of those pale in comparison though to my two favorites on the board.\u00a0 First, my team played “fistee,” as in “one who gets fisted.”\u00a0 Not content to leave that alone, another team added to the end of it to make “fisteedent.”\u00a0 Yes, the physical evidence that remains after said fisting.\u00a0 Lovely, I know.\u00a0 Second, the game ended with the board asking the incredibly polite query, “mayivagu.”\u00a0 That’s just some glorious game-playing there, my friends.<\/p>\n

We played the game again that night and twice more the next night, but none were as fun as the first one.\u00a0 (Some of the words in the second game are far too dirty for me to write here, believe it or not, and yet they weren’t as funny as our Game 1 creations.\u00a0 I guess novelties can<\/em> wear off.\u00a0 Go figure.)\u00a0 So there you go: call it square, call it boring, or call it the opposite of midgets in big bowling balls, but when a few couples in their 30s got together and played an alcohol-aided game of Dirty Scrabble, it was a hell of a good time.\u00a0 I’m left with just one question: Do you think there are fisteedent wizards who repair that kind of damage?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
