Anybody see this on ESPN ?

They had a spelling bee, of all things. I'm just going to it during commercials to check scores on the ticker !

This kid (with hands in pockets ) gets some impossible word ( they all are ), he asks all kinds of questions... finally falls over in a faint... gets up and spells it ! Later they give him a stool to sit on, he still has hands in pockets. I wanted him to fall off the stool, so bad !

I don't know who won. The chalk ? It was the funniest thing I've seen recently.

The kid who fainted finished 2nd. David Tidmarsh, 14 of Indiana won.

THE CHALK in a spelling bee. That's one of the funniest things I've seen here in a while.

I was joking about "chalk". There wasn't a line on this, I hope ! Little leaque baseball lines are bad enough !

You should read Bill Simmons' articles about the Spelling Bee. It is some of the funniest stuff I have ever read. Me and my buddy actually sat and watched for 3 hours one day.
The Guey sisters are legends of the spelling bee.
