I've rediscovered Scrabble lately. I am SO in. :)

I have to point out that this person is clearly cheating, as she has one more tile on her tray than allowed by the rules! Shame on her! She makes us all look bad...

I'm in! But there's not a lot of points for Feminist in scrabble. Clearly we need to change the name of the entire movement and put a Q in there somewhere for the extra 10 points. I would suggest we now call ourselves 'Feminquists'

why is this filed under "anti-feminism"?

Now, we all know that American English was invented as an attempt to cheat at scrabble...

EG, that was one of the first things I noticed. Clearly I've been playing too much Scrabble online.

This reminds me of a Boggle board my friends and I set up for a photo contest a few years ago - it included the word heteronormative.

I love the idea of a feminist board game night - if it happens, can it please not be on a Wednesday? Pretty please? I was so bummed that the holiday party was on the only night of the week when I'm unavailable.

Needs more z's for extra points.

Now, the real challenge: only put down words that could somehow be relating to feminism-by-association, with explanations. I'd know I'd love a good empowermering talk about "zoo" or "qwerty" (favorite Scrabble word).

Pick me!

I'm totally in too!! How many of us live in NYC? I am up on the UWS if any feminist folks want to chill...especially now that my grad program is on winter break!

I <3 games! Where, when, and what games will there be? I don't live that far from NYC...

This photo reminded me of this article

Where's Monday Monty Blogging? I need my weekly dose of cuteness that leads to jealously (I want a Monty doggie!). :)

OK, how about FEMINIS for 7 letters, which can be added to an M or T on the board...? :)

I too want such game... Very well helps with English studying.

Because of the distance of London from Europe, Asia, and America, it was realised that sale of tickets overseas would be restricted by availability of means of transport and that most visitors would come by air. It was estimated that transport limitations would result in not more than 8,000 visitors (excluding teams, press, radio, and the like) coming to London.

Accordingly reserved seating was held for each day of the Games to meet a likely demand for purchase of tickets up to a maximum of 8,000 at the Main Stadium. These were spread over the various price categories and were held until the end of September, 1956, after which time any unsold reservations were passed over to the box office for sale over the counter.

This reservation proved to be adequate to ensure that all overseas visitors obtained reasonable seating at the Main Stadium. In the small stadia, approximately 20 per cent. of seating was set aside for overseas visitors. This proved to be sufficient also. Prior to the opening of the box office to the public, sporting associations affiliated to the Australian Olympic Federation were given a priority right to effect bookings for their members.

This right was used extensively. Specially reserved seating was also set aside for a period of five months to provide for priority orders from National Olympic Committees, after which period these reservations were transferred to the general overseas availability. This right was not used extensively by the Committees.
