Life imitating art

Bunny and I went out for dinner and at the restaurant there were TV (Television)s tuned to a sports channel. It was rather surprising to me to see that it was ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) 8—the Ocho [1]! And here I thought it was just a fake TV channel from the movie “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story [2].” It's odd to think that a Cornhole [3] tournament beat out baseball and the Tour de France!

The sports being shown on TV were axe throwing and “fling golf,” which looks silly, but then again, isn't hitting a small ball with a stick silly anyway? Nice, but I would have loved to have seen trampoline dodgeball, or maybe even chess boxing [4], which is exactly what it says it is.
