“macroni...what does it mean? Every kid knows a good mac n chee.”

“You won't find me there! Yall know THAT!”

“pswheapt!”

“I would love to attend the festivities, but I have to stick around to keep an eye on my crop of
z-y-g-o-p-h-y-l-l-a-c-e-o-u-s plants.”

“Forgive me if there is another thread about this and I missed it...and for all you Canadian this is nothing personal.

I am just wondering why is it called the National Spelling B. and students from Canada participate? Why don't they call it the International B and invite other countries? It is my understanding that Canada has their own National contest...do we participate in that?

Just curious thoughts.”

“It's just another example of Canadian aggression towards the United States. Well all be reading bilingual signs before you know it.”

“The finals were held about 3 blocks from where I was staying in DC! I would have gone over there and dropped in, but the competition is not open to the public. Maybe they're afraid of heckling or hooligan spelling bee fans?”
