yet another farewell post

In an epic night, the weekly scrabble crew has officially said good-bye to Luke. Don't bother checking his blog - it's BO-RING!
The night started with me in what i call the "show-dance" mood. People in my apartment building enjoyed a rendition of luli-in-the-bath which covered artists like Audry Hepburn, Elvis, Beyonce and Mariah Carey. All the while Luke and Nis were not so enthusiastic about my jumping up and down..suckers..

On the menu, i made some home made brownies and some instant Betty Crocker mashed potatoes. Me and The Nis made stir fried veg, and Luke - the "man" - was very proud of his steak - which was truly delicious.
Note: Luke's last name is apparently an old Irish term for gay, coincidence?

After a lovely meal, i got started on kicking some English-native-speaking ass. It was an epic game. We were all so close, and each of us took the lead at one point in time. We also covered the whole board with games - north, south, east and west. It was about time we learned how!

















After consistently being in our scrabble crew for 4 whole months, Luke is leaving us with no replacement. He also leaves the scrabble night in need of some testosterone and me in need of someone to be passively aggressive towards.
We all stayed up till 4 am talking and following the primaries and Luke was overly comfortable in my colorful apron. You can tell he's going through a whole lot of separation anxiety.







He might not have been the most challenging scrabble player like the uber-smart Annika, or the most contributing cook like the oh so yummi Kent but he surely was an entertaining piece of eye candy ;-P

There will definitely be a scrabble reunion sometime in the future. Till then we'll be busy interviewing new candidates for the new opening in our scrabble crew.

Way to kick ass, Luli!

I wish I could go back for a reunion game. Looks like Nisrin is getting way to close to winning.

Luke will surely be missed. He's lookin' pretty sexy in that apron, I must say.

I must intervene to correct a few discrepancies in this post.

1. Luli won that game on her last move. that was the one and only time she ever lead the game. So when she says she was kicking "some native english speaking ass" what she really means is that she got LUCKY with her last two letters, and eeked out a win at the last second!

2. I am a damn good cook! I apologize for not cooking more often. I will take the blame for my own poor time management. Remember the gravey Luli, remember the gravy.

3. There is no question that I am sexier in that apron than Kent. I demand an immidiate apron walk-off, Zoolander style.

thank you, good night.

hehe nice one Luke.
1)I had such bad letters at one point where i had to replace all my tiles and loose a turn, and i still made a big enough come back to win! that does not come with luck.. honey!

2) What gravy? we've never seen gravy? and the cooking? i'll belive it when i taste it. sorry kent's got you on that one

3) Agreed! Just get your butt back to Egypt and we'll have the walk-off, and i'll even throw in another lap-dance by the girl of your choice :P

Bonney is an old Irish term for gay? Puts the Bonney Shimmey in a whole new light.

Until then, you can dere-lick my balls, cap-i-tan. Haha.
