    Wish we could bet on the Scripps National Spelling Bee tonight

    Always a really tense and interesting finals. Anyone else watch?

    I have some capping thoughts on the final 10 but guess that is pointless.

    Got plans tonight but DVRing. Fine, I'm a loser. Telling you, boys, it is good shit.

    How come Indians are so good at spelling?

    Do they get dictionaries as toys when they're kids?

    It's not a question of Indians being "good at spelling" -- it's not like some natural thing, it's a skill that anyone could master with study; but they just really dig mastering this area. Along with, you know, medicine and computers.

    Anyone watch last night? The final two were straight killers... rolled through the entire championship word list without batting an eyelash. Finishes in a tie and two more championship rings for Indian-Americans, lol.

    I don't know, man, did you see those two last night? Once they've got a few years' experience, it's like these kids can't be stopped.

    Don't forget that the Shivashankar family now has TWO siblings who won, Kavya and Vanya. That's badass.
