I'm another word nut, so I'm just good at this stuff. Blame my mother the English teacher, my grandma the vocabulary nut, and my perfect verbal SAT score.

I don't mind helping though!

(If it helps, I'm Jess. I don't really care if people call me bangdrum though.)

This is NOT about me. This is about taking a guy who knows everything, and HIM getting beat!!!

I've already admitted that he is FAR more intelligent than I. What else do you want, dream crusher?

Dateline NBC....I WON!!!

And with my own word, for those feeling snarky.

The larger the word, the fewer guesses you get. I put Tropical, and he only got 4 guesses, and lost.

I feel so less inferior to him now!!!

THANK YOU, to those of you who lack the snarky gene.

Alan, I know that, my friend. You're not snarky, at all.

I AM however, addicted to this game! I'm playing 4 random strangers at the same time.

For any of you that like word games, there's a free app, for I Phones and Android.

Hanging With Friends.

I can't put my phone down!

I only snark, with love.

Good philosophy to have!

Ho sh*t, I'll have to really start working on that accent!

And have I mentioned my ABSOLUTE TERROR of flying...? I can do it, but there must be large quantities of booze involved!!!

What's the music scene like there? Lots of bagpipes, kilts, and drunk guys?

My advice is not to work on an accent unless you want to get on the wrong side of a few people! Besides, it's always better to have a different accent when you go on holiday somewhere! You'll be exotic and interesting, get drinks bought for you and, like my last time in Chicago... find it easy to be, ahem, "popular".

I love flying! Once I'm checked in etc and don't have to rush then the holiday starts at the airport. As for on the flight itself, I just relax and watch the movies! If booze needs to be involved for you then just as well it will be an international flight.. ffree booze!

Oh the music scene can be fantastic depending on which city you're in and if you know where to go. Yes, some parts of Scotland have fantastic traditional music - particularly the west coast and one particular bar where I am - but by that I mean brilliant folk/celtic etc and not bagpipes! Bagpipes are reserved for The Royal Mile in Edinburgh and are pretty much for tourists..shudder.. There's also some pretty good rock clubs etc but it all depends on which city you're in. Scotland is bigger than you'd think!

Did I make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of...I don't know, crushing that smart dude's dreams?

I was just posting an honest comment. I didn't realize the point was for him to lose & not for you to win. So, congratulations I guess?
