False pretenses

Today, my friend told me that he was having a Scrabble tournament at his house with a bunch of our friends. I told my dad about the tournament and he gave me a special Scrabble dictionary to bring. Hesitantly, I brought the dictionary and as I walked in, everyone was playing beer pong. FML

LOL i bet u looked like a loser

#45-48 you are a dumbass for not getting why this a fml

The timing of this post is impeccable... I'm currently sitting in bed browsing FML because I have trouble sleeping before (you guessed it) Scrabble tournaments. However, the tournament I'm attending has a first prize upwards of $4000 (http://www.cross-tables.com/download/2009/06/hartford.pdf) and I'm not getting tricked into attending a beer pong party. However, it is quite possible to enjoy both a "nerdy" activity and a more social activity as well; I play competitive Scrabble but I also play beer pong nearly every weekend. Yeah, Scrabble isn't stereotypically "cool" but even for those accustomed to playing drinking games it can be fun to play a more intellectually stimulating game once in a while. So to the original poster, if you enjoy Scrabble tournaments you should try to find a local competitive club to hone your skills. To the haters, Scrabble can actually be pretty intense when there are thousands of dollars on the line. Peace

I don't get it... Where's the FML in this?

I think scrabble is fun :D does that mean I'm a nerd?

How is this a FML? sounds like a good time

and this is bad because...?

yeah, what's the FML? toss the dictionary and pick up the beirut ball already!

Great you should be happy. Beer long is much better then scrabble
