 It's Bee season.Dust off your wings, stop fucking the flowers, and come out to the first Monthly Mile-End Spelling Bee.While professional bees are unforgivingly arduous trials, at the MMESB, we have a moderately milder "two strikes" rule, and various coupons that can be used throughout the night, such as "Ask a Friend to Spell your Word" "Pass on This One" and "Word-Swap" that have to be used strategically. Top three winners of the evening will receive paperback book prizes kindly donated by the Quebec Writer's Federation.Additionally, the best speller of the evening will get their name spelled out in Scrabble Tiles and made into a nametag, as well as a small jar of creamed honey. This all takes place at Le Cagibi, Sunday September 14th.
5490 Blvd. St-Laurent (corner St-Viateur)
Registration is at 7:30 PM.
Bee is at 8 PM.
$5Please note that to keep things manageable, we will cap the total number of spellers, sweetly, at 16. If we get that lucky. |

Hee hee.
My tagline for this event on the Facebook page is
actually taken from Rocky Horror -
Don't dream it.
Bee it.
But I like yours too.

i'd really be into this, if i didn't get so nervous in front of other people! i was not-nervous and an awesome speller, as a kid. i came in second place at the central ontario spelling bee championship, in the 6th grade.
adult embarrassments and teenage drug use have made me nervous and kind of illiterate. BUT MAYBE! this is a really good idea!

Both. We have to cap the number of spellers at 16 tho because of time constraints. We also start off with somewhat difficult words to spell, then progress to moderately hard, then devastatingly challenging. |

From Difficult to moderately hard? Isn't that a step backwards of sorts? For a word thread, your lack of thesaurus use is uninspiring. |

this is a must-go should i get back to town in time for it. i don't think i'm spelling bee material but if i may gloat- in grade 6 we had a 20 word spelling test every friday and i got 20 out of 20 all year long! i think the hardest word was Saskatchewan.

I actually suck at spelling.
That's why I organize spelling bees
instead of participating in them.
