Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The only thing I can think of during this whole spelling bee thing is "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."

You've been the best-looking dude we've had all day
You're a real smart dude as well
Now go home and spell
Give your squeeze some affection
Go on, make a connection
Spell with patience and care
That, dude, is my prayer.

Re: lj, didn't the "We screwed up" message say that some journals would be reinstated "by noon" (no clue which time zone)? Yeah....fun.

hip deep in pie

three Canadians as the only foreigners amongst the finalists.

I'm betting on Anqi Dong as being there in the end.

The 12 year old in me must note that besides Mr. Dong, one of the other two left has the last name Wang.

Trust my rage

I think it's funny that some people care enough about phonetic spelling to actually protest. It's like that West Wing episode where Josh and CJ meet the upside down map people.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Bahahahahah! protesting the spelling. I love people.

I'm not a spelling bee fan, but it would be nice if students could remember that excited is spelled with a C. Or that a lot is two separate words.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A friend of mine has an English degree. She didn't know this (and didn't believe me when I told her).

Big Block of Cheese Day! Those were always such great episodes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The protesters want phonetic spelling. One of the less convincing signs has "good enuf for him" next to a photo of Ronald Reagan. sigh.

They need a giant sign that has a picture of a cat with the caption, "CAN I HAZ FONETIC SPELL?"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yep, I've been using Southwest for my travel to Boise.

OK, among the most terrifying sentences I've ever heard.

(Actually, I know nothing about Boise... it's just one of the default "well, its not like we're in _______, of course we can do that" along with Peoria, Dubuque, and sometimes, forgive me Tep, Cincinnati.)
