And what was even funnier is that the fact that "one time" a bonus (bingo) was played
was even given the dignity of a response.

CSW12-only Threes (Part 1 of 2)

Good morning all,

The time is 2006. The place is North America. The word list is the OWL
and all kinds of excitement is in the air because...there are new
words. New beautiful delicious crunchy words, additions to the word
list that feel like getting a new baby in the family. Who doesn't
remember fondly as we welcomed EMAILED, FEST, PST, and, yes, QI, and
ZA into our cozy little lexicon. All these additions are new friends
to be made, embraced, and welcomed. It was a giddy time.

Well let me tell you want -- there are MORE NEW WORDS. The entire
world is rising up in jubilation as we welcome new friends such as
INBOX and ALOO and GUQIN into the fold. And yes, while there are no
new twos, there are nineteen new threes to welcome. And one, sadly, is
going the way of EMF -- a farewell to a friend who will soon be erased
from our board vision.

Those of us who have been immersing in Collins will enjoy this
once-over of the new three-letter words -- but hold off on them until
the first of the year! [1] And those of you who have been waiting for
an opportune time to play Scrabble with the full English-language
lexicon, the dawn of a new dictionary is a beautiful time to dip your
toes into the softly roaring Collins ocean. The water is warm and the
minnows are jubilantly dancing between your toes.

(Note that I'm sending this to world-scrabble as well as CGP -- the
previous editions were only to CGP. If anyone not on CGP wants to see
my mostly apocryphal series on Collins-only threes, it's been archived
at the Seattle Scrabble Club website:

WSC Reports Competition Result

WESPA received five reports in suitable format from:

Aaron Chong
Calum Edwards
Kamil Gorka
Stewart Holden
Brett Smitheram

All were reviewed by myself, Sam Kantimathi and Toke Aka.  They were  all 
very interesting, but the winner was adjudged to be Aaron Chong as it well  
covered all the things asked for in my original appeal.  This is attached  
herewith.

We shall try and put all the reports on our website _www.wespa.org_ 
(http://www.wespa.org)

Several suggestions here including...

Sim -> Simmons
Wee -> Webb
Cohen -> Koenig

Although the one originally cited by JohnO at the time was:

Ball -> Iqbal

... which in fact works as Ball -> Iqbal -> NickBall  :)

Re: Re: WSC player name quiz

Very unsatisfying, Stewart, as you originally asked for a surname hook of a surname!
