somebody owe me a million dolars...

i made da mistake of respondin 2 sumpn written on cgp. da shit wuzz so stupid, i reflexively hit REPLY. whatevva...

i nevva met (certainly don't recall meetin) da guy who posted da shit, but i said 2 myself i bet a million dollars he a goofy lookin muhfucka (n yes, i realize goofy izz in da eye of da beholder n i certainly fit dat bill 2 some degree in early throes of my relockin stage--HAIR, fools).

so i used crosstables 2 look him up n i busted out laffin (kinda like i'm doin right da fuck now) when i saw his picture.

Top Players + Contenders

  • Jan. 5th, 2010 at 11:33 AM
Some years ago, i posted a kinda top 10 list of scrabble players. it wuzz so much easier 2 do THEN cuz da skill lines of demarcation wuzz clear 2 a serious student of da game. Now, da lines izz obscured 4 eitha student or teacher. juss as studying wordlists create gaps in word knowledge, quackle izz creating gaps in gameplay skillz.

i always graded players by whodafuck izz/would b da HARDEST 2 beat inna session (dess part of WHY i always thought so highly of Wiegand--i thought he would b harder 2 beat den Capp or Adam).

TIME, more den anything else, closed a gap in skill level at da top. Edley n Tiekert izz OLD as Lester. Geary playin cards, Trey ticklin ivory, Matt MI, Capp been gone more denna minnit, n Samson FINALLY noddin respectfully 2 Father Time--muhfuckaz got old n some got wise.

a good number of great players still compete, but da fucked up structure detract from da PURITY of da competition (but dess always been da case).

i'm certainly not now inna position 2 definitiely declare who get down how n who fakin da funk--i can only go by what i seen have seen. of da younger players, i'm mostly impressed by Conrad (a muhfucka dat DON'T smoke got da MOST potential). Rafi got his seasonin last year n Dayton n dat'll help him if he learn from it.

of da generation next players (21st century origins), i always thought Kenji wuzz da best of dat bunch, hopefully he won't go COMPLETELY insane. i don't know enuf about Carl's game 2 grade his skill level, i'd give him a seat at da table juss 2c what he brought wif him. Orry got my attention at an anagrammin session (he found SUMPN long n i asked him whodafuck wuzz HE)--assumin his name DON'T belong up here, he might turn out 2b da best of da bunch.

Bradley n Doug got game, Thevenot got da most potential altho COLLINS (da time n energy spent) izz gonna fuck him up on dhis side. i'm REALLY impressed by Will Anderson--he posted a game wif Wapnick dat showed how he do (he made EVERY play he HAD 2 make--n if he had 15 minutes goin in2 da endgame, HE got da most potential).


Brian Bowman izz also exceptional. Real life interceded on Stefan (RAU, morons)--else HE could easily topped da list. obv, JKB n Olaf make da grade (but i STILL say Kenji izz betta den both of dem). Dean n Dielle would b great players if dey lived n Babylon AND aint do shit but play scrabble. oh shit, i 4got Rob Robinsky--now dess who CLEARLY got da MOST potential. His understanding of da game izz 2nd 2 NONE among his peers.

iss a lotta good players--some wif da potential 2 achieve greatness n 1 or 2 who could possibly b among da best EVVA. issa shame it aint no incentive 2 bcome a great player--whoevva crazy enuf 2 walk cross dem coals, izz juss fuckin crazy...

sleep deprivation + olskool cartoons...

da shit don't mix...i don't NEED nunna dat funky stuff (da kind u smoke)...

Paul Lynde (Uncle Arthur from BEWITCHED) did da voice of da HOODED CLAW in da PERILS OF PENELOPE PITSTOP. da ANTHILL MOB wuzz 7 lil muhfuckas sumpn like da dwarfs or some shit. da leader, CLYDE, kicked it like MOE of da 3 stooges--da muhfucka wuzz FUNNY (i MUST b TIRED cuz i'm STILL laffin at sumpn he said--some shit i'ma use da NEXT ime somebody post a ridiculously easy position. even if dey see THIS, dey probly aint gonna think iss funny...). da GOOFY one's laff remind me of a scrabbler's giggle i'd b ashamed 2 admit i actually RECENTLY heard (anybody else who heard it izz equally sick as i am).

da CARTOON NETWORK would b ds shit if dey scooped up BUGS BUNNY...

WHY i say some things...

  • Oct. 17th, 2009 at 10:21 PM
one of the last things i posted to cgp--n maybe it was da very LAST thing--wuzz:

if yall only knew how many times a day yo collective stupidity izz cursed...

i'll skip da spiel on POSITIVE ova NEGATIVE, equilibrium, n BALANCE, but i will say dat some serious weight wuzz lifted off my shoulders when i made u my mind dat i wuzz done wif tourney scrabble. i couldn't (WOULDN'T) evva COUNT how many times a day i said it, but SOME days i KNOW i said ALOUD about 200 time 'stupid muthafuckas'. it don't matta WHO da fuck i wuzz talkin bout n it only slightly matta whether or not dey REALLY stupid--dess a helluva lot of NEGATIVITY i had on my plate. If u aint nevva SEEN me eat, i fuckin wolf food down sumpn fierce. i BARELY chew--meanin i SWALLOW a lotta shit WHOLE.

ok so da tourny dirctor replied to what i wrote by pointin out she ALWAYS give more to div 1 den da lower divs. Granted, i skipped a coupla steps in my commentary, but puhleeeeeeezzzz...

so i can get dhis shit outta my system, here's da maff:

82 headz @ $55 a pop is $4500. fuck da expenses & % return (irrelevant--cuz we talkin bout cuttin up money). da div breakdown on div headz n prizes (w/p/s) wuzz 14 div 1 @ 400/300/250, 26 350/250/200, 22 300/200/150, and 20 300/200/150.

FIRST, da notation of higher prizes 2 div 1 wif splits like dhis izz beyond criminal--violation of NATURAL LAWS izz generally fuckin SINFUL. onna personal note, i'd be inclined to fuck somebody up if dey SUGGESTED dat dhis kinda shit izz anything but STUPID, nevva mind ARGUED (da point izz i can BARELY believe i tolerated shit like dhis for YEARS).

da distribution izz CLEARLY inequitable. da first problem izz payin da same number of places in each div (n i don't give a fuck dat issa one day tourney). kudos 2 da directors properly pay accordin 2 div size. Thinkin along dat line--adjustin prizes--da movin money argument have ALWAYS bothered me. whoopdeedayumdoo i know WHY i overlooked da bullshit.

da expenses n return gain relevance when MERIT is (properly) considered. since it don't serve no point talkin bout it, i won't--juss like i anit mention dat class prize bullshit n hi play or whatevva da fuck got paid.

i will say dat a more SENSIBLE split of da money in da above example--n dhis come off da top of my gotdayum head (meanin it could probly be improved wif a lil more THOUGHT), would first consider dat da lower divs izz BASICALLY playin for FUN (dat DIRECTLY address da return n indirectly address da point about MERIT). Along dat line, payin 4 places in div 2 vs 3 places in da others despite da div size difs SHOULD be CLEAR. So if u say fuck da bullshit prizes (50 class + 40 wordplay), 700/400/300, 350/225/175/150, and 250/175/125 in divs 3 & 4.

u pay an entry fee to play in a tourney. if u wanna win more money, pay a lil extra in yo assigned div or improve as a player so u can qualify 4 a div wif a decent payout. But ALL of dhis izz arguin inside a STUPID ass box. u muhfuckaz izz crazy...
a local tourney director responded to my stipulation of participation saying i should show some LOYALTY (a laffed aloud when i typed dat shit). What follows below is my response wherein i intimate (i generally choose my words CAREFULLY--even if u THINK u know what it mean, look it up sometime) some SERIOUS shit.

i close by saying, i have REGAINED my SANITY--mostly meanin da LARGER portion. It JUSS occurred 2 me dat i dove n2 tourney scrabble on da heels of a nervous breakdown n i'm walking away having recovered from SEVERE depression (some of u muhfuckas readin would be DEAD right da fuck NOW if i had crashed in Dayton--as EVER, i'm HAFFjokin).

i HAD2B crazy not 2 realize bigtime tourney scrabble just aint gonna happen--it aint in da cards. Maybe it was more dat i didn't wanna ACCEPT it--iss probly (MOSTLY) WHY i draw so poorly. Given that i take life lessons from scrabble, i'm reasonbly sure that the poor drawing MUST have a DEEPER meaning than simply tellin me in--NO UNCERTAIN TERMS--dat i shouldn't continue to do some shit i NORMALLY wouldn't do. it MUST reflect SOMETHING about my life in general. E.G., i readily acknowledge that whereas i'm ridicuously unlucky when it come to drawin tiles, i'm BLESSED in other MUCH MORE IMPORTANT ways.

Whatevva, see whomevva whenevva...


=============================================


what i SHOULD do is simply STAY retured (FUNNY TYPO i JUSS noticed) BECAUSE the few of you who run tournaments don't cut up the money RIGHT. i bear no ill will against you--or any other tourney director--PERSONALLY. If it aint clear, i do take a bit of umbrage at you telling me what i SHOULD do--as if i should be grateful to rake in some freakin pennies.



The BUSINESS (financial) side of tourney scrabble is a very sore subject to/with me. Using your tourney as an example, it is twice as many entrants in div 4 as it is in div 1. Of the 20 people in that group, i'd seriously doubt if a single person based their attendance on a projected payout (the people in the lower div ESSENTIALLY are playing for FUN, NOT for MONEY). That does not mean that their entries fees (or their PARTICIPATION) should be taken for granted. While i might be the ONLY person who solely bases attending on a projected payout, that is irrelevant. Div one prizes should always exceed other div payouts--EXCELLENCE, in this case, relative to the rest of the field should be rewarded.



My comment about the in(s)anity of putting up $55 to win $250 reflects my abhorrence of prize fund distributions across the board. Clearly, money could and should be moved up--WHY it isn't and is even deemed a bad idea in some circles is just as clear (cuz yall CRAZY--n that only mildly apply to you if are among those who blindly help perpetuate the problem). i only considered playing in your tourney becuase it is local and i could use the money. But i'm i'm basically done playing in tourneys PERIOD. i have regained my sanity.



The bottom line is as i said before--i'll play IFF div 1 pay at least $300. If not, thanks for asking and indulging me thus far.

911 izz a joke

  • Sep. 11th, 2009 at 11:07 AM
i suppose da 1st thing i should establish 4 pryin eyes izz dat not only am i unafraid, but i also believe in reincarnation. da PRIDEFUL + KOOKY combo mean CERTAIN muhfuckas betta hope wif all dey bein dat it aint POSSIBLE 4 me 2 come back n pay da piper, u beddaassumbahdee

(READ: i am FULLY aware of the consequences of openly making controversial comments. WHOEMVER should be EQUALLY aware that i don't give a fuck considering my BELIEFS. EITHER it is POSSIBLE or it aint. IF it is POSSIBLE AND IF i do come back, MUCH WEEPING, WAILING, and GNASHING of TEEFIZ, yahurrdme!!!)

i use lj almost exclusively 2 discuss scrabble shit, but every now n again some shit come up--well, 2day izz 9/11. somebody on cgp posted a yuotube video n curiosity got da betta of me n took a peek. Piqued, i started lookin at da RELATED videos--da CONSPIRACY THEORIST type shit catch my eye cuz i could set a cornerstone in da foundation of any structure built on da certainty of amerikkkan involvement of da attack (even if Papa Bush sat dhis one out, Rumsfeld n Cheney's fingerprints n footprint izz CLEARLY present).

one of da related videos got Aaron Russo talkin bout a Rockefeller told him a year b4 shit happened dat shit wuzz GONNA happen. even if Russo wuzzint given a heads up, da shit he sayin about a WAR on TERROR izz almost unquestionably TRUE (2 anybody SANE--read NOT fuckin STUPID, GULLIBLE, or BRAINWASHED). kook dat i am, i posted a link on cgp.

here's a lil thought experiment. everybody in amerikkan stand up. sit down if u think amerikkka aint had a COUP. sit down if u think a man been on da moon (or went in '69). sit down if u think AIDS wuzzint used biological (AND PSYCHOLOGICAL) warfare. sit down if u think nobody n dhis side of da pond wuzz involved wif da plannin n execution of da 9/11 attack. wanna hazard a guess on how many peepul still standin???? da flipside izz issa lotta INSANE (SGB) muhfuckas...

Prize Funds, NASPA, Dayton, and Beyond

  • Jul. 29th, 2009 at 8:33 PM
so i don't keep pissin in Sam's living room, i'm SUPPOSED 2 do a sitdown with John Chew in Dayton. i have ideas on how to fund NASPA. i have a few other ideas. Anybody who want in on my sitdown wif John would b WELCOME.

i laffed 2 myself at da thought dat i would GLADLY trade doin well in Dayton for gettin a deal done in Dayton. i wouldn't GLADLY trade it, but i would trade it.

while iss OBVIOUS i have issues...

  • Jun. 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 AM
i THOUGHT i kept my EGO in check, but it look like i have a BIG problem. While i don't have a problem REMOVIN myself from da equation, i put 2 much emphasis on myself when i'm in da mix. dess bad--iss almost PURE PRIDE. n it sure as shit don't mesh well wif my justifiable abhorrence of stupidity--ESPECIALLY since iss SO MANY stupid muthafuckas on da loose (dess HAFF a joke)...

my wittle introspective blurb izz prompted by a few thangs dat happened in Hartford--notably my outburst dat stemmed from losin much more den da junk i wuzz drawin, mendin fences wif Chris Cree--who i dun cut 2 shreds about EGO, n dat idiot Matt IMAGININ dat he izz a BETTER player (read GOT MORE GAME) den me (manifested as we discussed Sam's SHAM).

i wuzz WRONG n i KNEW it for ANSWERIN da moron i wuzz playin, but i WANTED to pick a fight at dat point--n please note if u EVER see me kickin somebody's ass, get somebody i WOULDN'T fuck up 2 pull me off em. an old lady would be good, but not dat old bitch (NO apology cuz dess EXACTLY what she wuzz--i got up n gave dat bitch a seat when i first MET her AND simply said 'yes mam' AFTER she committed da near unforgivable sin of SINGLING me out in a ROOMFUL of fuckin noise. but den DAT itself say SUMPN...) cuz i might backhand her 2.

i wuzz wrong 4 cuttin up Chris absent da complete recognition of my own problem wif EGO/PRIDE. Matt's comments bother me CUZ i like him but find his faults intolerable--which make him 2 a degree intolerable. or do dey REALLY bother me cuz my EGO demand dat he bow b4 me KNOWING dat fool wouldn't even afta i whip his ass--n i mean CLEARLY OUTPLAY him--in MANY sessions???

fuck Matt n fuck dat ole bat, aside from da rhyme, i'm happy i undastand da reason i do MOST shit. it might not keep me from fuckin up, but it help keep me from BEING fucked up...

Analyzing Positions

  • Jun. 2nd, 2009 at 2:13 AM
whenever i comment on a position, i have the benefit of looking at any given one with the benefit of years of experience. That, combined with my predilection for obsessively flipping shit around in my head, is the reason i speak so authoritatively when analyzing a given position.

My kooky sense of humor generally has a mocking tone, but it is totally devoid of malicious intent. i don't MEAN to sound nasty, but a GOOFY muthafucka SHOULD be able to take a joke (see). i should take into account that analyzing positions is easy to me NOW because of years of practice and study--and i'm often conversing with people who aint been alive long as i have been playing. It also don't help none that it is likely very few players who actually STUDY positions over the board...

i KNOW i aint juss FAINT...

  • Apr. 9th, 2009 at 1:26 PM
after reading something that confirmed some shit i was already fairly sure of, i THOUGHT i was gonna pass out--i lost feelin in my mouf, i got lightheaded, n it felt like my head was being pulled down into my chest when i inhaled.

i laid down--n was somewhat relieved when i woke up 20 minnits later (laffin at how my arms was folded like i was in a gotdayum casket).

when i peeked at cgp, i saw some FUNNY shit dat almost made me pass out AGAIN (funnier followin da link)...

EILMSTTUU started the trouble, i said SCOOPLESS instedda CESSPOOLS, totally guessed at AAADDEELN, & decided to pack it in when i looked at PEACOCKY n said what da fluck izz a COPYCAKE (n dat wuzz AFTA think along COCK lines cuz COCKSFOOT wif da dumbass S plural wuzz also in dhis set).

watchin da raggedy game...

  • Jan. 8th, 2009 at 10:52 PM
3rd n 1--WATCH dey (Oklahoma) fluck up...almost GUARANTEED to fluck up...

loss of 4; blocked field goal attempt (49 YARDS n 42 izz kicker's longest this year).

don't particularly like Urban Mayer, but he a much better coach than Stoops (who MUST be dat Scotus guy reincarnated).

Mayer is rubbin dat look 2 da sideline crap in Oklahoma's face. Oklahoma SHOULD have benn stompin Florida--n likely woulda been if dey had juss lined up n thrown da dayum ball downfield. But tryna be cute wif dat chesslike check off at da line crap, dey let Florida stay in da game--n NOW dey in GREAT danger of losin.

Nebraska lost to Miami, Houston lost 2 NC State, n da Vikings lost to Atlanta. Oklahoma losin to Florida wouldn't be quite as bad, but 60 freakin point 5 games inna row make it close...

  • Sep. 21st, 2008 at 9:51 AM
that i will also deliver in person, but since i mentioned it (albeit in somebody else's journal)...

like i said, because i don't think they are REALLY good does not mean that i do not respect their abilities. i was and am wrong to spout off about JKB and Olaf--they are truly exceptionally good players who certainly will become GREAT players in time. They have not been playing long, but thier BODY of WORK (as opposed to their RESULTS) does speak for itself.
While they do have peculiar ideas about HOW the game should be and is played, they simply are two of the best new/younger players who have come into the game.

Most of my frustration about the state of the game stems from the fact that the game is not where it could, should, and would be. Combined with my abhorrence of any form of stupidity--manifest in the shameful ignorance in considering WHAT with a total disregard for HOW (i.e., SPREAD arguments and ANY mention of RESULTS within a ridiculously flawed tourney structure)--i wrongly spoke of JKB and Olaf.

i do not apologize for offering my opinion about their ability compared to Kenji's--i think Kenji has a stronger game than both of them. Aethetically (for this reason alone), i hope to live to see all of them (and many more) become really great players.

thankz...
