(Really, not kidding. As a former NSB contestant, it is my curse to forever remain entangled with this unholy contest of will, luck, and nerdtacular tension. I'm going home to watch the whole thing on TiVo after work.)
I laugh every time the NSB comes up, when I remember what my husband told me. He was in the Fort Worth Startle-Gram Spelling Bee back in 1957. He won second place in his elementary school competition, so he got to advance - he was beside himself. Friends and relatives were there to watch.
It was his turn, so he proudly stood up and walked to the mic. They announced his word. He repeated it, "Sheep" - S-H-E-P-P.
(In my head, I can recollect him saying it phonetically , Es-atche-eee-pee-pee in that Texas drawl.) Bwaaaaahhhhhhhh!
I'm LMAO right now, just typing this. I think he's still embarrassed about it to this day.
