And here’s a clip of Thrones producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss on Kimmel, apologizing for… well, for everything posted above.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee aired this week on ESPN, finally validating our claim that spelling is a sport. The live-tweeting was strong, with solid jokes coming in from word athletes across Twitter.
Every word they give these kids to spell basically sounds to me like:

I'm pulling for the little boy dressed as if he's ready for bed. That kid is wise beyond his years. #spellingbee

Poor kid, tripped up by the schwa sound. Everybody drink. #spellingbee

The #SpellingBee is really heating up, but I'm gonna say it: are they tested for performance enhancers? A couple of these kids look 30+…

Thanks #spellingbee! My white friends keep asking me for the correct spelling to words I can’t even pronounce.

Ah, word play humor. Puns on puns on puns…
"That's the only pronunciation." "Are you sure?" "Oh I'm panachure." #spellingbee

I can't be the only one who thought "Wookie hot sauce" when the word chubasco came up, right? #SpellingBee #scrippsbee

I wish they showed the whole #SpellingBee. These overproduced video packages are a floccinaucinihilipilification.
