I once blundered across a Scrabble championship on some cable channel. The tension was palpable. The players were down to letters like X, Q, and Z and they were STILL PLAYING. Also, the two guys didn't look like stereotypical word-geeks. They looked like redneck truckers.

It was a bit strange for me.
Work Freak by Stefan Fatsis is a great insight into the world of competitive scrabble. Apparently certain parks are the places to go to play -where you find all sorts of characters you wouldn't immediately peg as Scrabblers. There's a whole etiquette to joining in, though. I thoroughly recommend the book if you have any interest in that sort of thing.
