So Before I left the G-Spot the Super Value Menu at Wendy's had suddenly become a bit more pricey (and pricey, I mean more than 99 cent).
At Home, I once heard a clerk explain to a feisty landscaper one day that the price increase was seasonal and it happens all the time...........
GREENSBORO that was I just found today that the Wendy's near Prospect Park in Brooklyn STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I ain’t mad.
But in parting, PLEASE VISTIT our bff's @ to view the hottest footage of the 4th Ever HypePipe City-Wide Spelling Bea Arthur to ever be recorded and published on the internets!
And speaking of the internets.........in order to quail any rumors, the clip below is not me but represents what I have been up to 24-7 since arriving at my new home.
For those of you who have been concerned, we are indeed alive and are coming back with a VENGEANCE! And by “vengeance” we mean………
THE 4TH EVER HYPEPIPE CITYWIDE SPELLING BEA (ARTHUR)!!!
To celebrate the arrival of our favorite season, TWINter, we will once again converge upon The Flatiron @ 8:00 pm on Saturday, December 22 to spell, yell, and raise all kinds of (John Mc)!
We’ll be celebrating Patrick graduating from the university where they say that’s not possible (yoU Never Can, in Greensboro). Cedric will be celebrating his last week in the G-spot before moving to the hamlet of Brooklyn, NY. And Erica (remember her) will be showing off her new which will be sure to cause a STIR!
AND there will be a very special appearance and performance by Hypepipe’s resident house band SexxySexxyMuscularBlackGuys!!!!
AND our brand new friends from will be on hand adding fuel to our flame ( of course cause we’re still green ya’ll)!
So ditch your family (or bring ‘em if they can take it). Scalp those Daughtry tickets (Because if anyone will be back to GSO Coliseum it is him, or them, or whatever the hell they are). And get ready to spell a into the ground deep enough for us to make it to by the 2008 Summer Games.
HypePipe's Third Ever Citywide Spelling Bea Arthur was a SMASHING success. By our own standards. Which are fuzzy and changeable. (like a pair of chaps!)
Nonetheless, last night's Bea was special because 1) Patrick had returned from France and 2) the spellers and spectators were so into the spelling of words, we think we witnessed a rebirth of both SMARTNESS and PAGEANTRY that will sustain us until the 2008 Summer Games.
The hosts, foolish as ever, dressed monochromatically. We were Patrick the Grey, Erica the White, and Cedric the Black. We're not sure how it went over, we just love a THEME.
Cedric set the tone with an EPIC opening verse...
Spellers strategized...
Patrick drank
Hillary had a birthday! Everyone put on a Happy Face for the Spelling Bea (Arthur!).
When all was said and done, we EVEN HAD PRIZES!
for the tired lips of our spellers...
Honey for Theresa, our SWEET two-time runner up...
And BOOZE for Anna, the current reigning Word Champion!
Patrick awarded the grand prize, a gift certificate to the Flat Iron.
And let's not forget Mikey, owner of the Flat and our reason
for going out, drinkin' and spellin' and a hero to the citizens of Greensboro!
Yeah, it's been a while between posts. I joined a Medieval Mercenary Crusade group for a week:
They tried to make me eat pudding that tasted funny and ordered me to smuggle cheese in my checked luggage on international flights. I didn't really mind the pudding or the white stuff they stirred into it, but I had to get out for the THIRD EVER HypePipe City-Wide Spelling Bea Arthur! It's this Thursday at Greensboro's own Flat Iron at Summit and North Church. Registration begins at 8:30. Spelling will probably start a bit before 9:00. Drinking will begin whenever the HELL YOU WANT cause you're grown now. The prizes are fabulous, it's fun even if you can't spell, and it's FREE.
Its not over until we beat up the fat lady and say so!
Thurday, August 30

In the menaime here are our good friends The Wu Tang Clan paying homage to the hard work that all of you G-Spot Word Heads have put forth so far.......
Your lip-burning coverage of the HypePipe Spelling Bea (Arthur) in this week's will surely encourage the rest of Greensboro to embrace the joys of reasonably priced drinking and free spelling. Oh yeah, and it's FRIDAY WOoooOOoOooOooo!!!!
