I love working at MTV (I'm here this week) because you get to watch TV all day long. Today, I'm watching the 78th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee on ESPN. Jealous?
Amongst my favorite words have been:
BADIGEON...CHEILOPLASTY...GRIFFONAGE...ERGATOGYNE...and the always favored SUPERCALIFRAGILISTEXPIALIDOCIOUS.
UPDATE: We have a winner! Apparently I'm not the only person to be obsessed w/ spelling bees thanks in part to Spellbound (genius documentary). It's now the subject of a Tony nominated musical and a mainstream film starring Laurence Fishburn.
I actually watched the "winning" word being spelled. What the hell was he doing with his entry card around his neck??
