FOURTEEN DAYS OF SOLIPSISM, VOL. II: Today's blast from the past as we approach the one-year TT anniversary: Throwing Things' live coverage of the 76th Annual Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee, with such thrilling moments as:
Don't tell me that the kid who's Spanish/English bilingual just got "zocalo". Oh, wait, he did, while New Jersey's Jesse Zymet got "lefse", some kind of Norwegian pancake. . . . .

That's right: while poor Shruti Mishra of West Lafayette, IN was faced with "phthisiology", Grant Remmen of Detroit Lakes, MN got "email".

Feel the excitement! Start here, and scroll up as the drama unfolds.
