Fritz, we play American Rules here, although you do have a point re poor play. I note you did not. Penalties do apply; Bowles would suggest 3 should be appropriate.

While I'm at it, might I submit this dandy number as a fine example of proper game wear?

Gentlemen, Ladies, Others; rules REQUIRE you make a play. Empty phrases carry no weight. But to attempt to help you understand this particular game, just bear in mind, that River Time Brew Pub can only be used if Blue Moon Tavern is shunted after a double reverse has been played BEFORE and I emphasize, BEFORE, The Reservoir Tavern. In this case, as you will no doubt have noticed, it wasn’t.

Hope this helps.

Spot Too for the option.

Rules? Ever since that dust-up between Pembroke and Eddington in the '08 semifinals they now allow skoofing past the first round. In American play, skoofing is now required. Wankers.

In a typical American skoof move I will play the Alibi Room instead of the Bubble-gum Wall. I feel so quiffy now.

Now, this is very interesting. I believe that the aforementioned scoffing was actually negated by the diagonal. That being the case, there should be a strong case for a Northern switch, which can only mean

Sorry Mighty, no play no gain; play your piece man, play your piece! Oxnard be damned! You know full well that the decision of the Council in the debacle of the Finals in 1933 applies here and that means, as you no doubt know but seemingly refuse to acknowledge, that the so called 'comma' is not germane.

I think Anders is trying a Whimsy, which requires a pre-move. If he plays it right it might be the game.

He can Whimsy or he can Whamsy, but he should recollect that Oberton, trying to make this same move in the Cup Match of 1927 overextended, as has he! Really, a simple kipper means

I'm going for a Homeless Youth like Berberani in the Italy Cup of '93. It took the gas right out of Pecorino.

With a quarter moon and in the House of the Rising Sun? I remind you that the astrological signs apply!!! Simple nonsense, you should perhaps reread Grilding to understand the 'influences'.

Gentlemen! With some more study, I find that in the 1953 revision of the American rules, a first time player could object to the course of play, without being penalized for not furthering the game.

I can now only say:

Entrance duly noted. You do realize that upon realization of Paradise that the Trinity must be reconciled. How do you stand?

Very interesting Cosmic, but not a legal move per Tombias vs Alderson, 1947. Do you want a consensus as to your purported move, per Rule 13, or do you wish to actually commit to a move? Farthingale would suggest the latter, as your best interests may not be realized by committee. I agree.

Again, The Reservoir, for obvious reasons.

Mornington Crescent or Morningtown Pizza?

It'll be hard to play a game from another continent, going by strict rules. Having spent relatively little time in the PNW makes it even more difficult. My terrier could probably play darts more effectively than the move I'll make. It is based on true events.

Grassy area near the library at Evergreen College.

The most beautiful girl in the world and I bivied there half a lifetime plus 5 years ago. It was a memorable night under the stars.

Strict rules? Well Quimby has a bit to say about that doesn't he? So, I'm taking advantage of WyoRockMan's basic error (Rule 43 I believe) and blocking the south!
