the game & not having an std

i've made up a game. it needs a new name. the current name does not honor God - and is completely irrelevant to the game itself.

how to play: you must have a leap frog fridge set of letters (or really any set of alphabet letters) - one of each letter (ONLY one of each letter!). you try to make words using as many of the letters as possible.

scoring: when you're done, you count of the points of the letters that are left

vowels = 5 points (you really shouldn't have any of those left!)
W Q X Z V = 4 points
F J G B K = 3 points
L P H Y D = 2 points
C N M R S T = 1 point

hints: use "y" as a vowel; only use one vowel in a word if possible; nymph is an amazing word for this game

the best i've ever done was 17 points. my words were "why, quack, next, drops, limb" that left F(3) G(3) J(3) Z(4) V(4). i know i can do better...

the "ever so wonderful - super smart - i'm awesome at the english language - miss english major - genius in hiding - i love her so much - amazing" mary smith has gotten it down to 8 points. if you can beat that, let us know. we want to know how.

in other news: i don’t have syphyilis. i have the piece of paper to prove it. (not that i thought i did....but i had to get an "rpr" test as part of the adoption paperwork. so i go to the health department and request an "rpr"....as the lady is taken my blood i ask "so what is an rpr test actually testing?" she says "syphilis." i said "oh....well, i don't have it...and if i do, i want to know where it came from. guess it's good to get tested." glad to know that i don't have syphyilis.)
