The Lord of the Rings musical set tried to eat an actor.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I can't speak and spell. Have to write it.
I've always hated spelling bees. I spell fairly well, generally speaking. Bees were torture and hell.

That which does not kill you should RUN
I love Buffistas. Of COURSE we all remember what word we spelled incorrectly in the spelling bee! (Grade 6, city-wide bee, "smorgasbord." I thought it had an "A" in the "b-o-r-d" part.)
Any idea what is objectionable about a spelling bee?
According to one of the Spelling Bee blogs I've been following, "the contest has drawn a good sized crowd of protesters who are demanding an increase in the number of words that are spelled phonetically. I kid you not."
I think this picture says it all. I wish this were a joke, but it's not.

Man, ever since grade school, my friends and family have used me as walking, talking spellcheck.

I only function as that if I have a notebook and a pen with me.

Boy, does the thread title fit that picture.

No thunderstorm up here, just a lot of blowing wind and overcast skies.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Not me. All I remember is that it was a homophone and I didn't ask for a definition. Doh!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ouch. Is it wrong that I want to know the details about the scenic mechanism?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can write in my head and then read the spelling aloud. But please don't interrupt me.
I crashed and burned (okay, came 2nd) because I spelt it refridgerator. I know it's wrong to this day, but it still looks all comfy and stuff.

Oh, the other thing I remember about that third grade spelling bee is that I'm a real softie. The person manning the dictionary looked really bored (nobody had asked her for a definition at all!), so I asked for a definition of "raincoat" to give her something to do. My friends mocked me afterward, but I felt so sorry for her feeling useless!
