Scripps Howard Spelling Bee

[Yeti]

borborygmus rhadamanthine oligophagous Graustarkian recumbentibus ovoviviparous lansquenet arrondissement steganopodous

These are words from the 1st round. They are dropping like flies but Amarillo, Texas (where I live now) still has a girl fighting for her life. The poor kids all walk like a praying mantis and most are home schooled.

It is a bit freakish and will be televised nationally tonight at 8pm eastern standard time. I am thinking of hiring one of the kids to be my personal spell check.

Here is one of the kid's list of interests----
Mozart
Legos
Collecting bugs

borborygmus- A rumbling noise produced by the movement of gas through the intestines.

Jesus, after 32 years of speaking English, I'm finally learning the proper term for a growling stomach.

I'm the king of Boggle
There is none higher
I gets six thousand four hundred thrity six points
Off the word "Graustarkian"












Hmm. That doesn't flow.

i can't believe it's on primetime tonight.

sure, it's cool to watch maybeonce, or for a very short duration of time, but honestly, it's a spelling bee.

Spellbound (the documentary) was a pretty good movie.

Hitchcock's Spellbound was kinda iffy.

I understand spelling bees are broadcast on ESPN right now...?
