National Spelling Bee thread! |
|
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 12:37 PM by ih8thegop
They said this is the 12th year ESPN has carried it live. Now,what kind of sport is a spelling bee?
I mean, swimming, wrestling, and water polo are sports, but ESPN doesn't carry them! But they do carry poker and a spelling bee!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh-kay.
Anyway, about the bee itself... they're beginnng the seventh round now. I wonder if Dan Kwayal would still be in it? Geiorge Dubya?

If I were the head of Scripps-Howard, I certainly wouldn't hire him as the pronouncer.

6. Bet they can't spell "pants" |

I always think there is a silent K at the beginning of that word.

I think we should try to start looking at academic challenges as sports, just so they get some damned recognition and funding.
Why should muscle be rewarded with notoriety, but brains less so?
