  THIS WEEK AT THE CLUB…

***  Season 75:  Wk 16 of 25 – February 18, 2020  ***

When a block becomes an opportunity.   David S was looking at a high-scoring play at the Club this week.  He had   M-O-N-S-T-E-R on his rack, and by hooking its S to OWL on the board, it would span two double-word-score squares — multiplying its face-value by four and collecting a bonus of 50 points for playing all his tiles.   Opponent Rena put paid to that by using OWL’s L to play WI-L-ED.   Or did she?  Quick reflection showed David that his MONSTER still went down as planned — but now, played parallel to WILED, it was sweetened by five cross-plays, as well:  WO, IN, OWLS, ET and DE.  § When physician Charles played HAEM (a coordination complex consisting of an iron ion coordinated to a porphyrin acting as a tetradentate ligand), opponent JudyMo refused to be intimated by his scientific prowess and promptly retaliated with URINATE.  To which Charles, ever the gentleman, observed that he’d like to comment but it would be impolite (or UNPOLITE, as Steve played this week, weathering the challenge that followed).  Earthier than Charles, Judy asked him: “Do you mean you’d like me to p— off?”
