bowls are super

i am not sure why we insist on calling these huge deals "bowls" in sports, when in really anything else, a bowl is never much more than somewhat interesting, dirty, hard to stack high, generally underrated, 100% necessary for cereal to even exist.  Cereal does not give bowls enough credit, a bowl is really the workhorse that makes your mornings possible, quick, and tasty.  the next time your cereal isnt really cutting it for you, just think about how the bowl feels, keeping the dissapointing and soggy "chips-n-milk" in one manageable peice.  even in sports, bowling is pretty much the most boring sport there is next to stare contests (which, depending on leinency on rules against physical attacks, can be quite amusing).  we should call it like the superbasejumping or the superfootballgame or just superawesome.  not "superScrapeThatDamnSpoonOnMyFaceAgain ISwearToGod EveryMorningMan?Seriously,EatAPancake"

there are cooler kitchen appliances, at least we could go with something like the superGinsuKnife or the superfork or the superknife.  i agree, i am glad they vetoed the supersaladbowl and the superplate or the superbrokenleg

back when they named them bowl games, how did that sound good? that is like going with can games or cup games.  dish games.   They dont even play for a peice of kitchenware like they do in tennis and golf.  I just realized that even in tennis they have the davis cup.  i dont know how the kitchen worked its way into our greatest achievments.  is there anything in the kitchen that is called a nobel? or are jock heads unable to even think of one word that originated with the event in referance, instead someone looked up from their chicken noodle and said "we will call it the superbowl" and then went over and did 50 pushups in celebration. 

i guess they did try to spice the bowl up with words like "super" and "fiesta" and "orange"... which at first you may not think is on the same level as the first two, but it is the only word in the english language that has no rhyme partner, which is damn awesome, so awesome, it may be on the level of the word "bowl" ...apparently

although using a buzz-kill word like bowl i guess helps with not building the event up too much, i mean with the half time shows and all being awesome, which they actually are when paul mccartney shows up and plays hey jude and the crowd all has signs and they flip them and i litterally start singing from the couch and flipping my own signs over and crying while sreaming "i can die in peace, i can die in peace, this bowl is truely a super one"

whos cooler? superbowl or superman? theres an essay here, but i am zoning out too much to write it or even care.


thats about all i have to say about the word bowl. enjoy your cereal tomorrow morning.
