    I have never played a game of Scrabble. Never had the game. Never knew a friend that did and I do not think I have ever even seen the Scrabble box in real life.

    Baccharat. Very big in Monaco, never really caught on here in the bogs of Kildare. I think you need a tan to be able to play it.

    NEVER EVER mess with an Ouija Board. Even if you are an aethists its a machine that creates madness is people.
    In Thirty Years Among the Dead (1924), American psychiatrist Dr. Carl Wickland claims that using the Ouija board "resulted in such wild insanity that commitment to asylums was necessitated."
    Ouija Board Induced Hysteria

    Police arrested seven people in El Cerrito, California after they used a Ouija board on March 7, 1920. One fifteen-year-old girl was found naked because she said it facilitated communicating with spirits. Later, the hysteria spread to others, including a police officer who shed his clothes and ran into a local bank. Officials brought in mental health professionals to examine the townspeople. To prevent future hysteria, Ouija boards were banned from town.

    Ouija Board and Murder

    In the 1930s, courts convicted Dorothea Turley and daughter Mattie of murder after the child killed her father with a shotgun. Fifteen year old Mattie testified how the Ouija, used by her mother, directed her to kill him.

    The judge and jury determined the murder was more involved with a life insurance policy and Dorothea’s secret lover. She was sentenced to prison, while Mattie was sentenced to reform school. A higher court overturned Dorothea's sentence three years after her incarceration. Mattie remained in reform school until she was twenty-one.

    In 1935, seventy-seven year old Herbert Hurd of Kansas City told police he killed his wife, Nellie, because she received messages from the Ouija board claiming he had an affair and he had given his lover $15,000.

    Nellie tortured Herbert by tying him to bedposts and whipping him. She burned him with a hot poker, stabbed his shins and forced a confession by holding a gun to his head. Herbert got the gun after Nellie left it on a nightstand. He grabbed the revolver and killed her. The court ruled the killing a justifiable homicide.

    Carol Sue Elvaker of Minco, Oklahoma killed her son-in-law, then put her daughter and two grandchildren into a car and drove toward Tulsa. She slammed into a road sign trying to kill all of them. She managed to vault a median barrier, tear off her clothes and run naked into the forest with two broken ankles. Elvaker was charged with first-degree murder and found not guilty by reason of insanity.

    You are supposed to say "No, I do not wish to play rape"

    At which point "pmcmahon" would swiftly reply: "that's the spirit"
