Can you spell V-a-l-e-n-t-i-n-e?

Well, neither snow, nor dark, nor lack of a love life could stop your intrepid hosts Matt and Jen from hosting the BuzzBee tonight at Blake Street Tavern.  And while the crowd was expectedly small, an epic battle ensued.

Thanks to all the bar staff who kept the $3.50 Old Scratch pints flowing. The game came down to a final four: Crystal (with her spelling son Christian in tow) was the first of our finalists knocked out. She earned a free drink for her efforts.

Finishing in third was Parker.  Parker could spell pretty well but seems to have had difficulty in finding someone to cut his hair well. So, in absence of a proper stylist, he turned to the old stand-by: The Flowbee.  That’s right, cuts your hair and sucks it right into the vacuum.  Next time Parker, dial it up to a 3 or a 4 rather than your 50′s flat-top. Still, third place earned him a $5 bar tab.

The final two came down to a battle between the shortest tall man ever: Jared, and our resident walking pedestrian accident: Ben. We switched to the harder list and these two battled through 16 words! Jared prevailed in the end by correctly spelling pleonastic and parsimonious in order. Ben took home a $10 bar tab for his second place finish and Jared earned a $20 bar tab.  Nice work gentlemen.

 We’re expecting to be back next week, so bring all your friends down to Blake Street for the BuzzBee!
