Yaay!! We broke Gmail!!

la_poubelle and I have been experimenting with seeing what Gmail will give us ads for based on what words we use in our emails.

Are you a Scrabble player? I'm always up for starting up e-scrabble games...

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I've never done it. What's involved?

Just give me an email address, and I can set up a game at e-scrabble.com ... it emails you when it's your turn.
