Scrabble

I spent much of this afternoon and evening looking for a product that, apparently, does not exist. This has happened before. This time, it's a vinyl roll-up Scrabble board - I swear I've in fact used one of these, but that seems very unlikely - they were never commercially produced, and near as I can tell, there was ONE guy who custom-made them - and his website no longer works (my guess is that Hasbro shut his ass down). So, if any of y'all could help and actually find me one of these shits, I would love you forever; as is, I'm perilously close to getting the travel folio Scrabble (though my made-up roll-up vinyl board would be much better).

Comments:
See, that's the whole problem, JB - I, too, SWEAR I've used one. But, apparently not.

"Can I get some of that beer with the candy floating in it - you know, Skittlebrau?"
"Mr. Homer, such a product does not exist. I think you must have dreamed it."
"Oh, okay. Then can I have a six-pack of Duff some Skittles?"
 
This is the best tile-laden word game to come along since Scrabble. And it's highly portable. And British. No vinyl board necessary.
 
Jen, that's a v. dirty name for a game.

Also, I don't games that involve things being timed. Tetris is the one exception, kind of - but I HATE Boggle. Though I do like Set, so maybe I'd like Snatch. Probably only if I was good at it, actually.
 
ah, but jkd--

there is no time limit in snatch. you just get to make other people feel stupid by being smarter and better than them.
