Spelling Bees are a perfect way to prove to your sixth grade teacher that you actually have made good on that oft referred “potential”. Especially when your spelling prowess leads to a stack of crumpled bills and a couple gift certificates Hal’s… On second thought, that sounds a little dirty. Please over look any sort of entendre that you may encounter.

Tuesday’s Spelling Bee night at Hal’s brought out the biggest quiz we have had. It was like a gathering of past and present, with prodigal teams from many months ago returning and many new challengers both in for the long haul. In the end “Primal Compulsion” spelled their way into the the win and walked away with a nice stack of cash, gift certificates and the coveted BELT OF PUB QUIZ AWESOMENESS.

Also, I am pondering the idea of getting an actual championship belt. I’m not sure how it will be awarded, but if anyone out there in the blog-o-tubes has an idea, please let me know. If anyone wants to make one and give it to me, that would be kick arse as well. Woohoo to crafty people!
