Now, if you disconnected the power to the house, turned off all of the UPS backups, and brought out Scrabble and forced him to play, then he might start crying for mercy.

Playing Scrabble against a computer? Hmm. I would defintitely miss seeing the fear in my opponent's eyes as I plop down a triple point, 7-letter word.
