Prentices made my day

Apparently the word "prentices" is another form of "apprentices," which is not only a former hit TV show and now a product-laden mess, but also the word that landed me 118 points on Scrabble Blast today.

I usually hit the msn games section at least once a day on a busy day, more if I'm slow and none if I'm really too busy to do anything but work. I can tell what type of day or mood I'm in just by looking at the words I've spelled in the list next to the board. Today's words included: groaning, whores, typical, slaughter, pensive, theater and wrenched.

Notice the use of a lot of suffixes. They add to point totals, people. The only thing about Scrabble Blast that pisses me off is that a truly brilliant word like "pensive" can actually yield fewer points than "eats" depending on how the bonus tiles fall. I'm using this as a metaphor for life.

Prentices, nice word, must say I will have to give that one a try if I ever land those letters.
