Thanks all for the votes today; I just want to reassure everyone that my post was 100% fictional -sadly, I don't even have a daughter.

We're going to need a "just say no to drugs" representative at most of these parties. Whoa.

For the folks who used "Grey Goose" today, the first two letters are G and C. You might want to consider re-posting.

I love acronymity but find I'm very picky about what I like. I don't know why many decent posts don't appeal to me. Today however, I had a jolly old time. Are you guys slipping?

I really like someone's acronymity except for the fact that one letter is missing.

Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist/Dr.of Clinical Psychology at Self Employed in Rancho Mirage, CaliforniaAnd, Bean-O is an extra letter. Unless it's Beano. I have seen posts with hyphenated words which adds an extra letter and have wondered about that. In case Steve is nearby, I didn't wonder for very long.
-
Brian P ·
Top 100 Player · Lives in Bothell, WashingtonI'm afraid I shot first and asked questions later. I had that "wait a minute" moment right after the click. And I usually do not accept a hyphenated word to represent two letters. My argument being its listing in the dictionary.

Other than David D., I really feel my post today has not received the likes it deserves. Haven't commented till now. Feeling sorry for myself. (:

Thanks CMW!!
Christopher, there are some posts (most) where I go, "Neh, ok, but not a winner." And, others where I think they really have a chance. This is why the sad face today. Same happened in movies. So many great posts all over the board. Just another...See more -

Carl N ·
Elder (Over 100 Rounds) · Worked at Weis Markets in Las Vegas, NevadaI dunno; I just can't seem to get into this game lately. If there was a vote to drop one, this'd be mine. A few responses (always the super-early ones, of course!) make spot-on sense; the rest are totally absurd non-sequiturs that merely start with the required letters. Meh.

I was in the middle of leaving a comment on someones post that they maybe needed to seek counseling when I remembered I'd recently had a dream where a dog had hold of my pant leg while I was riding a bike. Suddenly we were off the bike, the dog was in a 3 piece suit walking with his arm around and his friend, another dog, on the other side and they...See more

Janine F ·
Top 100 Player · Works at W.F. Biggins Associates, Inc. in East Longmeadow, MassachusettsI'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Acron leader-board has several players listed twice. Chris Martin Worley (63, 64), Tim Sniffen (91, 92) and Martha Manning (96. 97), as well as more people who are not ahead of me, and therefore I don't really care about.

Top 100 Player · Lives in Auckland, New ZealandHey Cyn, please don't leave! It's not great if a few people choose not to consider the early posts but so what? My reason for engaging with Marie was to query her position on "any time zone changing being cheating". I can appreciate it must be really hard getting up in the middle of the night to post....See more

Dot Cassidy D ·
Top 100 Player · Lives in Hyannis, NebraskaThe US Mountain and Pacific times are too early. Getting up at 3:45 or 4:45 is ridiculous. I'm used to having a lot of my ideas taken before I get a shot -I can accept that, but I'm getting sick of getting up in the middle of the night to play when other people can play in normal hours. I have...See more
