Charlie Brown lost the spelling bee on "beagle."
Did he spell it S-N-O-O-P-Y?
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did he spell it S-N-O-O-P-Y?
I think it was B-e-a-g-e-l.
Lucy called him a blockhead.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I always spell it wrong. I mostly avoid using it while writing.

The other person from my school got out of the seventh-grade bee on "restaurateur."
