The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Spellers?

Question:I'm basically asking the same question I did before, but with additional questions/information:

I have decided I am probably going to try and get a place as one of the spellers. Does anyone have any tips on how to get chosen? Wikipedia says they choose you for your last name (whether or not it's funny), your clothes, your hobbies and occupations. I work at a pizza place, so would I have a better chance of getting on if I wore my pizza t-shirt and cap, or should I try something else? I just want some tips on how to get on. Thanks!!!

If my assumptions are correct, they choose people that will be easy to (gently) poke fun at or make jokes about. The more obscure/silly/unique you look from the rest of the audience (without being too ridiculous) the better! I think the pizza tshirt, etc would be a good idea- it will set you apart from everyone else!
