Hmmm.

"Bands That Don't Exist ... That Can't Exist ... In Rock 'N Roll Scrabble®."

...

The XX for starters. There's only one 'X' in the game.

Don't trust the X-tile.

the number of X's (porno password & ben stiller's attempts @ cashing in on the concept aside really aren't even that funny) doesn't determine if SCRABBLE is fun or not hbk,
because there's still two z's.
that's 2 zee's, as in 'quizzes'

STEVE's message reminds me that snippets of a song I used to hear on college radio in Boston in the early 80s or possibly late 70s come into my mind on occasion, and I've never been able to figure out who it was. Probably a regional release, probably a single. With na-nas replacing the words I don't remember, it was like

We like peaches, kiwi fruit
(Fuckin A, Fuckin A, Fuckin AyYayYee!)
Entertain you with coconuts!
(Fuckin A, Fuckin A, Fuckin AyYayYee!)

We're the (nana) boys, and we'll play it all night
(Nana nana) sheer delight
(Nana) boys, and we'll play it all night
Fuckin A, fuckin out of sight!

I suspect the song may have been called Fuckin A. Any clues?

As an expert level player, I can tell you x is the best letter.

Simple xi / xu with the x on triple letter --> 51 points.

There's a song called "Fuckin' A" in the film EXISTO, but those aren't the lyrics.
