*Wonders how many blog guys will be volunteering to be the official Miss Universe sash spellchecker...*
Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 03:52 PM
Did she notice?
Posted by: Cat R | June 26, 2008 at 03:53 PM
she still wants world piece, right?
Posted by: crossgirl | June 26, 2008 at 03:56 PM
"We need a volunteer to check the sashes of all the contestants."
*Thundering sound of feet approaching podium*
*Gentlemen, the word was sash. S-A-S-H."
"Awwww!"
Posted by: Hammond Rye | June 26, 2008 at 03:57 PM
Who sent this in? Siouxie?
Posted by: Suzy Q | June 26, 2008 at 03:58 PM
They failed to mention Ms. Phillipines pronounces 'two' as to sound like 'do'. Like in, "I have do which makes them a pair".

no cg, she wants whirled peas.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 04:03 PM
If Ms. Netherlands' sash were misspelled, it would take me weeks to notice. Long, happy weeks. Hubba hubba.
Posted by: padraig | June 26, 2008 at 04:09 PM
Suz, wasn't me. I think the Blog was doing some research (iykwim)
Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 04:11 PM
No kidding, padraig. It took a moment before I realized there was a "Miss Phillipines" in the picture.

Not enough maps.
Posted by: SW | June 26, 2008 at 04:21 PM
During the 2006 Miss Earth pageant the official sashes for Guadeloupe and Bosnia & Herzegovina were misspelled- Guadaluope, Bosnia & Hercegovina.
So is it spelled Bosnia or Bosnia?
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | June 26, 2008 at 04:22 PM
Cheryl - the latter way.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 26, 2008 at 04:25 PM
For the talent segment she did some origami. They call her the Manila folder.
Posted by: SW | June 26, 2008 at 04:28 PM
Siouxie, I'll spellcheck 'em if they're in Braille.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | June 26, 2008 at 04:32 PM
I don't think it's fair that Bosnia & Hercegovina get to gang up like that.
Posted by: SW | June 26, 2008 at 04:32 PM
I got a great deal on my 'Friut of the Luoms,' from the same manufacturer.
Posted by: SW | June 26, 2008 at 04:34 PM
SW--
You should see the Friut of my Lions. I mean loins.
Posted by: JayP | June 26, 2008 at 04:37 PM
Hands off - she's mine.
Posted by: Phillip Pines | June 26, 2008 at 04:40 PM
As long as they spelled "USA" correctly, who cares?
Wait, was that harsh? I haven't had my coffee....
Posted by: clark Kent | June 26, 2008 at 04:44 PM
Tough week! They're either criticizing your sash or your...
Posted by: Merri Lee | June 26, 2008 at 04:59 PM
Pikcy, pikcy, pikcy!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 26, 2008 at 05:15 PM
Looks like they were using the contestants to do the sashes again. Doh!
Posted by: Margaritaville | June 26, 2008 at 05:39 PM
Three and a half hours, and no one has suggested they get the L out of there?
Posted by: oneblankspace | June 26, 2008 at 06:13 PM
I just picture them all wearing Girl Scout sashes anyway.
Posted by: CJrun | June 26, 2008 at 06:33 PM
Psst Cheryl, Bosnia and Herzegovina are one country, but you probably knew that.
Posted by: Elon@Rice | June 26, 2008 at 06:43 PM
She certainly won't get "Miss Congeniality" after creating such a fuss. Maybe they can create a new award for "Miss Spell".
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 26, 2008 at 07:03 PM
Like this even matters. Miss Venezuela wins every year anyway, fair and square and with multiple plastic surgeries.
Posted by: Suzy Q | June 26, 2008 at 07:20 PM
"The Miss Universe Organization has already announced that the host of NBC’s hit summer show, "America’s Got Talent," Jerry Springer and actress-singer Mel B will host the 2008 Miss Universe Pageant live on NBC."
Hey, Martini - perhaps that is why Jerry was chosen as host this year. He handles these things so well.
Posted by: SandyEggo | June 26, 2008 at 07:47 PM
the official sashes for Guadeloupe and Bosnia & Herzegovina were misspelled- Guadaluope, Bosnia & Hercegovina
The latter isn't really that awful. Hercegovina is a fairly common alternate transliteration.
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | June 26, 2008 at 07:57 PM
Jerry Springer, and the word "talent", should never collide in the same sentence.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 26, 2008 at 08:01 PM
*snorks* Martini...
(btw, on your previous post, "misspell" only has two s's esses)

Elon, Unlike people in Iraq I have a map. I was making fun of the reporter who spelled Bosnia correctly in a mispelling article which references the incorrect spelling of Bosnia. But you probably knew that. ;-)

Actually Frodo I was offering a new catagory: Miss(Female designation of title) Spell(the subject of said title). That's what makes me so smrt.
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 26, 2008 at 08:35 PM
*SNORKS* Knew that, I was just being a smart a$$ (Thought a fellow bloglit would cut me some slack after I just sent a case, free of charge, of beaver testicles to lil rascal...)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 08:40 PM
I got that!

off topic:
' 'ol' chumbucket' was on jeopardy!
[didn't win, though :( ]
Posted by: insomniac | June 26, 2008 at 08:49 PM
Want me to cut slack, send a case my way. But not testicles . . .
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 26, 2008 at 08:55 PM
Martini, on it's way...
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:02 PM
Frodo, apparently Miss Understood got that case of beaver testicles.
Posted by: CJrun | June 26, 2008 at 09:10 PM
I thought they went to the window and threw up the sash.
Posted by: Katie in FL | June 26, 2008 at 09:25 PM
*SNORKS* CJ!!!!!
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:38 PM
btw, Martini, what's your poison? I'll send ya' a case of that, too!!! (reminder: testicles applied to the tech support folks foreheads, booze to yourslf at your (not... oh, never mind) own discretion!)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:42 PM
Cheryl, the words "Bosnia & Hercegovina" were on one sash, which clearly has a misspelling, regardless of the fact that "Bosnia" is spelled correctly. That's what the reporter meant, which is why there was no comma between Bosnia and Hercegovina.
Posted by: Elon@Rice | June 26, 2008 at 09:43 PM
But you probably knew that. ;-)
Posted by: Elon@Rice | June 26, 2008 at 09:43 PM
or even, "yourself"... who knew?
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:43 PM
I had a hercegovena, but the doc was able to repair it surgically (been there, done that, got the t-shirt and surgical scar...) still hurts when I pee, though...
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:47 PM
*smacks Elon*
Ya'll probably knew I'd do that ;-)
(psssst..frodo?? Martini has enough booze, he doesn't need another case - trust me) (send it to me)
Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 09:49 PM
I had a hercegovina once, but the doc was able to repair it with surgery... (been there, done that, got the t-shirt and abdomimal scar...) still hurts when I pee though... (hoping the bot didn't hijack my first post of this, otherwise it comes up as a double...)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:52 PM
bots! BOTS! (terrorist bastards)
(Scratches out Martini's address on envelope, pens in Siouxie's...)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 09:56 PM
btw, Siouxie, read that VERY CAREFULLY, it's "pens," REPEATS, "pens," NOT, REPEAT NOT, "penis" (NTTAWWT), but we don't know each other well enough yet...
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 10:08 PM
(I am SOOOOO macheted...)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Wow, Siouxie totally jumped my claim! Was going to ask for a case of rum, but forget it now! (Retreats to garage to console self with one of the numerous cases of Bud Products)
Posted by: MartiniShark | June 26, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Martini, I'm guessing Siouxie's your friend, and since I DO NOT want to be macheted, you still get your case of rum... (and Bud products). Also, throwing in a second case of Siouxie's choice to her... (I've seen her machete!)
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 10:26 PM
HEH! frodo, if I thought you meant penis...you'd have been macheted already!
Sorry, Martini but knowing how much beer you already HAVE...I thought it best to give someone less fortunate the extra booze. We can't all be as fortunate as you.
Rum is good too. I prefer vodka. Got that, frodo?? ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 10:44 PM
And..on that note...I'll say my goodnights to all!
Sweet dreams. Hasta tomorrow ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | June 26, 2008 at 11:05 PM
God, Siouxie. Don't hog all the vodka! There are other martini drinkers here, too!
Posted by: Suzy Q | June 26, 2008 at 11:12 PM
Siou... Ketel One? Or name your brand... see ya' mañana!!!
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Sets Suzy up with a martini, dry, shaken not stirred...
Posted by: frodolives | June 26, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Obviously, blog bar has been opened... any other takers?
Posted by: frodolives | June 27, 2008 at 12:02 AM
I'm gonna crash, too... Not WITH Siouxie, mind you, (OMG, faces machete once again!!!) jus' goin' to bed... (Wonders how much a 3rd case of Ketel One is going to cost me...) Love ya', Sio!!! Sees all tomorrow! Niters!

"Miss Venezuela wins every year anyway, fair and square and with multiple plastic surgeries."
Well, she does have a nice set of Caracas.

Dang it! The one night vodka runs like the French from a barfight, and I fall asleep early. Isn't that just the way? *consoles self with knowledge that, come Monday, I'll be in Cozumel marinating in free booze for a week*

oooo- Bali! Have a great time!
