2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee Drinking Game!!

Party rock is in the house tonight

Hey, hey, hey!

If you’re like me, you’ve been excited about this all week! Yes, it’s time to sit back, relax with your remote and favorite drink and watch some kids spell eudaemonic … or something like that.

The general rules are simple: have fun, comment and spare not the snark!

The rules for the drinking game are:

Drink whenever …
1. Chris Harrison’s face is on screen
2.  A speller had an older brother or sister who once particiapted in The Bee
3.  A speller comes from a state that starts with the letter “M”
4.  A speller made it to the finals last year
5. A speller asks for “language of origin”
6. You think the Spell master, Dr. Bailey might be pretty good in the sack (double if the moderator/head judge looks at him like he is)
7. A speller is homeschooled
8. A speller has three or more names (hyphenations included)
9. A speller is named Katharine, Kate or Katie
10. A speller’s favorite hobby is math
11. There is a montage of previous winners
12. A speller’s waistband is closer to his/her armpits than ass
13. The audience laughs at something that happens
14. The audience bursts into spontaneous applause (for something other than a correctly spelled word)
15. A speller has a better mustache than a middle school Tom Selleck would have had (double if it’s a girl speller)
16. While the audience laughs/cheers/applauds, a parent of the speller in question looks on only with a serious, intense stare
17. A speller uses a finger to ‘script’ out the spelling of a word
18. A speller adjusts his/her glasses
19. A speller has to take a hit off the inhaler
20. Double drinks if the final two spellers misspell their last word and both get another round
~~~
So, there you have it! Not too tough, right? And as an added bonus…no one will make you spell anything once you start drinking!
Bottoms up!
PS … SPECIAL T-H-A-N-K-S to SJO for helping come up with the list!

    I LOVE this entire post. Unfortunately I couldn’t play along cuz I didn’t even know I had ESPN until 5 minutes ago (shows how I feel about sports), but it sounded like a good time was had by all. Well, maybe not the intense-staring parents. :D

    I hate this new having to work until 10 every night because I forget what TV is on. Like the Spelling Bee. I didn’t get to play, but I just read all of the rules to my roommate and we are thoroughly impressed. Nice job with the rules! Hope I remember to play next year.

    Man, I think that double drinks rule would be a killer if you made it to the final round! They each miss like five words before one finally wins.
