The Spelling Bee

It’s Spelling Bee [1] time again. It was on the TV at lunch today, and I couldn’t help but watch in shock, horror and awe as the various home-schooled kids hemmed and hawed, asked for definitions and origins, and definitions and origins and “oh, please, could you use it in a sentence.” What was hilarious, though, was watching it with the closed captioning going:
[WORD]
>> [WORD]?
Yes, [WORD]
Can I get a definition please?
*definition is lovingly pasted here*
Okay. [WORD]
And they make the attempt.
Seriously, Deaf people watch this and laugh, I guarantee you.
I wonder what the descriptive video service does for it…
Be sure not to miss DC Sports Bog’s coverage [2], which is just as funny.
