The National Spelling Bee was on t.v. last night.
I couldn't stand it. I watched one kid spell one word and then I switched the station.
Baseball is more relaxing.
This just shows that if I am ever captured by an enemy and submitted to torture, all they have to do is run a tape of a spelling bee. I'll confess to anything. Uncle!

Did you see the girl from New Zealand? Those dumb judges couldn't understand it when she spelt jardiniere - did she start it with a j or a g? Sheesh! Anyway, she started it with a g, so she bombed out.
I've watched these before, and here is what I have learnt: Whenever anyone asks you to spell a word, always utter the following phrases..."definition?" "can I have it in a sentence, please" and "country of origin?"
JAW fan
Yep - if nothing else, it buys you some time to work how the hell to spell the word!
