I'm a big fan of Scrabble, especially when there's no TV or only hand-held internet access - and I enjoy collecting those inadvertent sentences that crop up in a good densely-populated board.

You know: things like "seamen wee badly", or "nuns howl insane"?

But I have a recent example here that can only be a Message. From Someone on a Higher Plane....

But WHICH Dean??!! We should be told....

It seems that Dean is used here as a noun, in which case he was axed. In a Porsche. In 1955. It's probably your tardy communication with a higher level that lets you read this message now ;-)

Oh my word! I've NEVER thought of looking for sentences in Scrabble. What fun! Must give that a try next time around. Thanks for the heads up.

@T_Ed: not so much axed as crunched, if you're thinking of Jimmy Dean. So I am thinking the communication is definitely contemporaneous. I know who I would PREFER, but let's not preempt the g-ds.
