Bananagrams anecdote
Four of us were playing. It was late in the game. I was struggling through some tough letters (something like two Xs and one Z), and I had just torn down a few words and was wildly reconfiguring them, when, with a few letters left, someone said "Peel", and as I began to reach for a letter, one came sliding across the table toward me. I thought, "How convenient! At exactly the moment I need a tile, one appears!". I initially thought the person who had said "Peel." had knocked an extra letter in my direction, but when I looked at the letter, it was a Q. Someone had pulled a late match dump (or something) without saying anything and then slid the letter to me! The moral of the story: Beware of flying tiles!
![If I stay there can be no party. I must be out there in the night, staying vigilant. Wherever a party needs to be saved, I'm there. Wherever there are words that need anagramming, I'm there. But sometimes I'm not because I'm out there in the night staying vigilant, watching, lurking, running, jumping, hurdling, sleeping. No, I can't sleep. You sleep. I'm awake. I don't sleep. I don't blink. Am I a bird? No. I'm a banana. I am Bananagrammer. Or am I? Yes, I am Bananagrammer.
