My best Q in recent memory was Quinine. First word of the game, too, so I got the bonus for using all my letters. I also got challenged on it, so my opponent had to eat a turn. This opponent thought I was bluffing when I said, "quinine is an ingredient in tonic water and also a treatment for malaria." Imagine the disappointment when the dictionary said exactly the same thing.
My most recent Scrabble game was not my best. Although I won by a large margin, I never quite got over the disappointment of not being able to use "slut, " with which I would have opened had I drawn the low letter.

My brother has been banned from all family Scrabble games due to a propensity for cheating.
I gave my sister the mega-board for Christmas last year. She says games take about 4 hours now.
"Zebu" on a triple word score almost never happened because I didn't remember that "U - S" was a word. My sister said that she tried very hard to keep a straight face while I was trying to figure out how to salvage the word.
