For those of you still addicted to Scrabulous on Facebook, I sympathize, because I was once like you: a twisted parody of a human being jonesing for someone to make a move so you play that QI on the triple letterscore. To offset my vitriol about the hours lost, here is a music video celebrating your predicament.
Right up until I quit, I was waiting eagerly to have it taken away, but there’s been no movement except threatening letters (get it?) on Hasbro’s part, so I had to take matters into my own hands and delete the game. I have to say, quitting was surprisingly easy, all things considered. I mean, after the first few days, which felt like a 72-hour-long waxing of the perineum. That shit is crack, yo. But I just kept thinking about poor Wesley Crusher and the challenges he faced with that headgear-braces game. If Wesley had the stronf to get through it, so did I. The power of positive thinking, people. And demerol. (Yes, I am riding Facebook without a single extra application installed. I might be the last one. Despite parttime Ninja Derek telling me I have to “gay this place up”, I prefer the zen, spartan surrounds of a base profile page.)

No way this is going to last, George. You may be master of your domain for the moment, but I predict a binge in the next 48-72 hours.
Me? I can quit anytime I want.

You quit!? Excuse me while I fall on my head.

I was hardcore into Scrabulous once upon a time. Now I’ve got 12 inactive games going. Shows my commitment I guess. I think I’ll see just how many inactive games I can play at once. Maybe there’s a record in there somewhere.

You said “gay this place up” and then you said “spartan.”
Just pointing that out.

About a month ago, Twinks! And Paul, I said “spartan” not “Spartacus”.

I think Paul was referring to the whole naked calisthenics thing, G.

That’s gay?

Technically, it’s homosocial.

Heh,
a lot of ppl know what you are talking about ;) I had one day where I quit all my applications on facebook because it tried to take control over my life..or something like that. It still feels weird not having them on my page but I have found other ways to get my share of addictions, like the scrabble-inspired page of Betapet. If you quit an addiction, surely a new but similar one can’t be seen as a fall-back? ;)
Good luck with the fight!

Waxing of the perineum. George. That’s just… well, its rude. Ouch. Ouch…

Yes, Sarah. That’s what i tell people when they give me grief about taking up meth after giving up alcohol. I’m not addicted at all….

I was addicted, too. Is this a support group? I notice lots of drug abuse ads on the sidebar there. I’m going to click on the one that says “opiate detox.”
