A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

ON TO THE GLORY OF TV:  Matthew Koh is the final speller of the day with "topepo" -- which is some kind of hybrid between a tomato and a sweet pepper.  He spells with a bit or boredom as if to say, "is that all you got?"

45 spellers remain.  45 spellers make it over to cable TV where they will drown us with quirky tidbits and video montages and moving video pieces on children who spell on the spirits of their ancestors.   Let's ignore that stuff.  Let's all ignore the attempt to make the Bee cute and love it for the bloodbath of spelling that it really is!
