Oooh, Marsha, that's what I was originally thinking and I would have gotten it in under the wire!

I'm going with Kennyi Aouad (cause he's so darn cute) and Kavya Shivashankar.
Maggie | 05.30.07 - 6:32 pm | #

Maggie's absolutely right about Kennyi.

Tia Thomas and Shelley Clark (our sole remaining NW representative, plus her picture looks sort of disturbingly like my own childhood photos)
amy | 05.30.07 - 6:41 pm | #

Tia Thomas (California) and Rosa Nguyen, because how easy is transisthmian?
isaac_spaceman | Homepage | 05.30.07 - 6:47 pm | #

Isaac, if you know it means "going across an isthmus", though . . .
Adam | Homepage | 05.30.07 - 6:47 pm | #

Do kids still sing "Christmas on the Isthmus of Panama" these days? Everyone knew how to spell isthmus thanks to that song. (It had no other redeeming qualities, however.)
gretchen | 05.30.07 - 6:51 pm | #

Kavya Shivashankar and Soohyun Park
MMan | 05.30.07 - 6:54 pm | #

amanda | 05.30.07 - 8:09 pm | #

I'll take Jonathan Horton and Matthew Evans, and while I'm a bit skeptical on this one, to be honest - I would have made two different trades, both of which have been taken - I'm proud to fly the white boy banner.

Samir Patel and Rebecca Rehberger

any connection between the Brunei Darussalam spam and the return of the free gay realtor database?
isaac_spaceman | Homepage | 05.30.07 - 9:38 pm | #

I don't have a pick, but hell if the worst part about having a full-time, year-round job isn't not being able to lay around all morning on an early summer weekday, eatin' ice cream for breakfast, not being able to look away from the wonder that is the Spelling Bee.

Thinking about calling in tomorrow....
Christy | 05.30.07 - 9:51 pm | #

We'll close it at the end of this round.
Adam | Homepage | 05.31.07 - 10:46 am | #

Can I get in under the wire? I've never followed the bee before, and since this is my first year on ALOTT5MA during bee season, I'm in a bit of shock and awe at the bee coverage. (Which is to say, I'm loving it.) So just for the sake of participating, I'll take two totally at random:

Emma Manning and Prateek Kohli (closest to my Long Island hometown).
Sue F. | 05.31.07 - 10:48 am | #

this pool is closed. There will be a secondary pool tonight.
