Spelling Bee II
Last night was ILM's 2nd annual Spelling Bee. It was to raise funds for the Aids Emergency Fund. This year, we raised $22K.
Last year I participated. Most of them were ILM employees and only 3 of us were from the Ranch. I was totally nervous about it and couldn't believe that I joined. Bryan actually printed out a 400 page document with spelling bee words. He even quizzed me when we drove down for Thanksgiving. And each time someone would come into my office, I made them ask me a word from the list.
But alas, it was all for naught. We picked numbers to determine our order. I was #2. So I had to sit in the front row! Who knew there would be about 200 people there watching. Well, they gave me my word and I almost sh*t in my pants!
They gave me dare-ee-air, the french word for buttocks. Well, I missed one letter! Not only was it embarrassing that I was the first one eliminated, but I had to sit there in the front row until all 30 contestants were done. At least I wasn't the only one eliminated in the first round.
I think the worst part was that this guy who worked on "Pirates" all year misspelled "Caribbean". Poor thing.
This year, they shaved 3 guys heads (with hair down to the middle of their back). It's awesome what people do for a good cause!
The girl that won last year won again.

that sounds like fun. I'm pretty anal on spelling :) I won our school spelling bee in the third grade. It was on the word 'acrobat.' bev
Bev, you would have gotten an "A" in my class for spelling.
Mur, I took French and I don't think I can even spell derrier?!
Tina, close but no cigar!
My sister was once in the national spelling bee held in washington dc. she got out on the word paradigm.
You'll now how to spell that word for now on (the buttocks one).
It was cool to see my sister on ESPN though!
