When your opponent is very close to you at Scrabble, play "quinine" for 103 points. Not sure the math is correct, but a.rawlings just bitch-slapped me with it. Quinine. Makes your muscles go numb and suffocates you later on.

isn't that a proper noun? Is that kosher in Scrabble?

OK,'cause if I use it, and my wife calls me on it, you're in big, fat, ugly trouble, Mr. F!

I used to take it when going to India as a kid. I probably still would, of course, but I haven't been to India since '97.

I've just realized I've confused quinine with curare. Totally different chemical compound, though both are plant-based.

well... what's wrong with blow darts anyway?

tie your answer in with class consciousness using at least 2 thinkers from the Frankfurt School and your choice of any post modernist except Deluze, and we'll call our scrabble game a draw.

Mmmm, quinine. Preferably in tonic with Bombay Saphire. Tanqueray will do nicely.

Good to see someone list George Oppen as favorite... with Silliman's blog as one of your links, I shouldn't be surprised.

Come pay a visit to Jacob Russell's Barking Dog some time!
