I'm guessing no one caught them on Saturday because the finals were Friday night. So, uhm, way to not even check out the Scripps web site, which says right at the top May 29 and 30.

I watched the bee finale (who says I have no life?). I thought the kid was asked to spell numbnut as well. That would have been cool. The runner up kid is like 13 and wants to be a neurosurgeon when he grows up. At 13, all I was interested was making it to second base with a girl.

you have to feel a bit sorry for the runner up. the kid who wins draws these for his final three: taleggio esclandre guerdon the kid who comes in second draws these: Kulturkampf introuvable prosopopoeia

So that's why there were so many socially awkward home-schooled kids in suits and dresses on the metro the other night.

I think I met ebonygentleman79 on match.com a couple of years ago. Weird date.

i guess i never would have been able to slip "numbnut" into a geography bee question.
