    Of course, this event is now so big time that even the guy who reads the clues is getting cocky

    Erin's got a pretty hardcore case of the 'dead eyes' going on right there. A few more years of having to cover the spelling bee and a Playboy shoot might be in the cards...

    @Scrappy McHustle: That reminds me, I have 5 years worth of Playboys that I need to dispose of.
    Would leaving them in the magazine recylcing bin at the local elementary school be considered "inappropriate?"

    Hey everyone, watch the inappropriate jokes about boners. Those were only funny on Deadspin when commenting on AJ's "Cultural Oddsmaker" post during last year's Spelling Bee.

    Yes, it's a little heavy on the home-schoolers


    The key to tripping these kids up is to throw them a word they never would have been taught, like "evolution".
