I thought I was borderline insane when I thought it might be fun to live blog the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, but I see it was done last year. So now I don’t feel so alone in my psychosis.
I’m excited/crazy to announce we’re live blogging (bee-logging) the bee finals along with the ABC (and ABC HD!) broadcast. Join us here on May 31 at 8pm ET for lots of temerity and schadenfreude. Perhaps I’ll break out my mad glottochronology skills on all y’all.
ESPN’s announcement that Mike Greenburg and Mike Golic are going to join the bee broadcast only makes this endeavor more noble.
So stop over here on May 31, sign up and post your brilliance in the comments while we blog the bejesus out of this thing. Johnnysweeptheleg is going to be here, too, so you’re guaranteed a good time. If not, you are all free to crane-kick him.
For that egregious error, I will catch flies with chopsticks.
Ah, yes, I’ll most certainly be along to add further bloviations!
Because if live blogging a Spelling Bee isn’t fun enough … then Live Commenting the Live Blogging of said spelling contest has to make this THE place to bee on Thursday.
Get it … be … bee … Oh I crack myself up.
That was me, dodging your attempted crane kick to my face!
Now PAINT THE FENCE!
Unfortunately, you’re out of the bee already after misspelling Mike Greenberg’s name. You were too busy double-checking “glottochronology.”
