To Scrabulous
Dear Scrabulous,
I support you in your ongoing legal battle against the tyrannical Hasbro Corporation.
You are far superior to Scrabble. While it is true that Scrabble may have been the inspiration for your creation, I maintain that Scrabble is the haven of the outdated nuclear family huddling together in a vain attempt to wring some shred of mutual familial love from a strained, painful “game night.” You, on the other hand, are on the forefront of the digital revolution. Hip, young entrepreneurs are networking and hatching plans and inking deals over fast-paced games of Scrabulous. Right now, you echo the sentiments of a nation–nay, a world–on the verge of something monumental and unprecedented. They cry out for digitized, multiplayer word games. And you, Scrabulous, deliver.
There’s just one thing I’m pretty unhappy about: the fact that you’ve already taken the best possible adjective to describe you and made it into a noun. I wish I could refer to you as “scrabulous.” As in, “This game is absolutely scrabulous.” It would be the perfect descriptor, because it juxtaposes the two powerful notions of “fabulous” and “Scrabble.” Oh well. In your infinite wisdom, you’ve already thought of that. I shouldn’t be surprised.
How many points do I get for “awesome?” It better be a ton, because that’s the next best way to describe you.
