Crayons?

After posting the top times/marks from this past week and the Penn Relays link, this question popped up courtesy of blogger.com:

What's cooler than a box of crayons?

According to blogger.com, the answer is choosing your own webpage layout, but it got me thinking: What is actually cooler than a box of crayons?

(Note to blogger.com: Ask random questions, and I'll give you random answers).

Crayons: Oozing Coolness

Top 10 Things Cooler than a Box of Crayons


1. Magic Markers

2. A Crate of Crayons

3. Shore Conference Boys Track (It would be number one if any of the team colors were periwinkle or thistle, both of which Crayola offers as colors)

4. MLB.tv

5. The word "thimble" (say it to yourself, and tell me it doesn't make you sound like you have a speech impetiment).

6. Nappy-headed...er, nevermind. Rutgers Athletics (The Renaissance begins when I leave, i.e. the football team, Women's Hoops, and Todd Frazier's tear through college baseball).

7. People dressed as crayons (the link doesn't work, but Google search "crayons" and you'll see what I'm talking about)

8. The Gyroball (aka a changeup)

9. Potassium (Of which Kazaksthan is the number one exporter).

10. Um, wow only nine things in the world are cooler than crayons.


Any ideas of what could be cooler than crayons? Whoever gives the best answer wins a free subscription to my blog.

On the track front, I'll be at the Husky Relays tomorrow where Manny Mayers (known by most locals as Emmanuel) is the athlete I'm most looking forward to watching. Whether or not he gets enough help to give Lakewood a win in the 3 x 400 hurdles remains to be seen, but the Piners should be give him enough to put him in position to win.

Keep an eye out for our coverage of that and the Colts Neck Relays (to be astutely observed by my compadre Josh Newman) in Sundays paper and, of course, more on the blog. I have to warn you, I'm long overdue for a baseball post. But until then, take your mark and go.
