Am I the only one who finds this one of the most boring Awesomeoff entries of all time? It basically amounts to "Infinite Distance" which can be a somewhat interesting concept to consider, but hardly deserving of a place the upper pantheon of Awesomnity. If you look at all the other Awesomeoff entries, they are people, things, or accomplishments. Infinite Distance is about as exciting as Perfect Roundness or Infinitely Repeating Numbers. Plus, shouldn't it at least be THE Extent of the Universe? That bothers me too. And don't even get me started on the fact that this entry's write-up is one of the worst run-on sentences I've ever read. It's practically an Infinite Distance Without Proper Punctuation.

Haha, I found the description of my paragraph to be quite amusing. Point well taken.
reply
Sounds like someone took a s*** in your cornflakes this morning, Thad.
reply
If they did I would sooner vote for Shit on a Bowl of Cornflakes than for Extent of the Universe.

Having been a fan and follower of this sport since 2004, I can say without any reservation that it is the most exciting, hard hitting, and awesome sport to watch. It's got something for just about everyone: amazing action, speed, hitting, strategy, beautiful women of all shapes and sizes, and it's totally DIY - almost universally skater owned and operated! Roller derby is the sporting incarnation of awesome itself!
reply
hell yes!! roller derby is life!
reply
Damn its awesome i mean awsomoff's are happening all thanks to that so called universe and its ridiculously far boundaries.. if they exist. Pretty darn awesome... its should be disqualified actually for unfair advantage.
reply
I'm just not feeling "Extent of the Universe" this month. It seems to abstract, and as far as abstract concepts go, it's not even the most awesome. I'd vote for simple "infinity" or the Greek "Logos" over Extent of the Universe.
reply
I have to say, this is shaping up to be the very first month where I just can't agree with the winner. I've got to vote for Wonka, because really I just don't see the awesomeness of "Extent of the Universe". Why not just nominate "Everything" or "Awesomeness itself"? It's just way too removed from the reality of anything humans can fully comprehend, and doesn't have that extra little "oomph" that would make it truly awesome - like the Greek "Logos" would have.
I'm not trying to bash here, and I'm sorry if EofU is your type of awesome, but I find myself for the first time just going, "meh". Here's looking forward to August!
reply
What does the guy with the pimples have to do with the Extent of the Universe?
reply
His mind is being blown. Make sense?
reply
Rollerderby is here to stay!
reply
Roller Derby is the most awesomest of the awesome! I play this wpnderful sport and love everyday of it!
