I think it started when I watched Word Wars
.Scrabble in itself is not necessarily a nerd's obsession, no matter what the pictures, hobbies (Siamese Cats?), and professions (numismatist?) of the experts might lead one to believe (Check out Marlon Hill's Occupation and Hobbies).
No, my nerdity does not spring only from the playing of scrabble.
It goes much further than that:
I've entered our scores into an excel spreadsheet and graphed them. See, here's a graph of our average scores:
There, I've said it.
(Our scores are trending up quite nicely, don't you think? I'll resist the urge to add a trendline)

I love that you graphed your scrabble scores! The Joyces are huge scrabble fans, and every holiday we look forward (or dread) playing with Ben's grandma, who is known for her seven letter words using triple word score spaces! It's a great obsession. Much better than TV.
Nerd.
Nerd perhaps, but how else does one discover how many Q words there are that don't need a U? Tile on brother, tile on.
I hope that score on the 23rd didn't involve someone playing an 'extra' blank by placing a piece upside down. That kind of cheating is grounds for table-flipping in the Foster household.
Dude, that score was on my birthday, and I got 2 bingoes in the game. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, you wouldn't understand).
