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.
