When life is awesome, make it awesomer
Sometimes, there's just too much going on to jam into one column.
Fortunately, someone invented awesome/awesomer.
Awesome: Ed Hochuli wearing pink. Seriously. I forget the game he was officiating - it was one of five games the local CBS affiliate showed in the 10 a.m. slot Sunday and that made it hard to keep track. But he was decked out in the pink wristbands as part of the NFL's efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer and help battle the disease. I wonder if he wore an armband too. If he had, it would have been the widest pink armband ever created. Call it decorating for the gun show.
Awesomer: Yuma Catholic wearing pink in today's volleyball match. Coach Maris Grasis said that the team will be in pink uniforms as part of breast cancer awareness month. Grasis said they will be taking donations and will be selling bracelets and ribbons. If Eddie Hochs can go pink, I guess I can too. Now to decide if a bracelet or a ribbon is more manly.
Awesome: Rush Limbaugh's role in a group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams.
Awesomer: The punchlines. If the bid is successful, he's going to fire the left side of the line. He would never trade for Clinton Portis, but would overpay for Reggie Bush. Whoever he tries to acquire, I doubt Donovan McNabb will play for him. Feel free to add your own.
Awesome: The fact NASCAR needed to come up with a "playoff" to keep fans interested in the sport late in the season.
Awesomer: That playoff has backfired. Apparently, Jimmie Johnson owns the 10 tracks that constitute the Chase for the Cup. Now they might actually need to change the races to keep Johnson from winning every title between now and when he decides to retire.
Awesome: The Coyotes still playing in Phoenix.
Awesomer: This year's slogan: We play for you. Seriously. That is not a joke. Obviously they play for "us," because they don't have an owner. At least, they play for us until they move to Hamilton.
Awesome: "Community".
Awesomer: "Modern Family".
Not awesome in the slightest: "The Cleveland Show."
Awesome: Winning first place in a statewide column-writing contest.
Awesomer: Immediately following that award with a thinly-veiled hodgepodge column that includes yet another "Ed Hochuli's biceps are huge" joke.
