Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I only came in 9th in my 3-5th grade spelling bee because I spelled "straight" as "strait," even though I had asked for a definition and knew that the word I wanted was "straight"--I just completely forgot about the damn "gh"! I went to the back of the stage with the rest of the losers and cried my eyes out, but my dad pointed out I was the last of the 3rd graders left at that point, which made me feel a bit better (but still stupid).

I've never had a problem spelling that word since.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've never had a problem spelling that word since.

Charlie Brown lost the spelling bee on "beagle."

Charlie Brown lost the spelling bee on "beagle."

Did he spell it S-N-O-O-P-Y?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I lost the spelling bee in fourth grade on "kindergarten." (Well, got second place.) In seventh grade, I got to the regional round and then lost on "pigeon."

Huh. The dictionary gives "alright" as "non-standard usage." I've seen it used that way plenty of times.

Ann, that's a ferret.

In sixth grade, I lost on "granary." Seventh grade was really weird -- I originally finished third on "hundredths" because the word was spelled wrong on the answer key. After a big fuss (led by one of the English teachers), the top 3 got a do-over. That time I won.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Now I want "phonetic" to be one of the spelling words.

On the lj thing, was there ever a post announcing the mass suspensions?

I think it was B-e-a-g-e-l.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

On the lj thing, was there ever a post announcing the mass suspensions?

Nope. Just poof, gone.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I lost the 6th grade spelling bee on "Surprise". I spelled it with a "z".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In 5th grade I lost on "restaurant." I've never spelled that word wrong since.
