Justify, Justify, Justify. It's all about Justify. I hate Justify.

You think Justify is so special? You think the triple crown is so elusive? Give me a break.

There's been 13 of them since the Kentucky Derby started in 1875. That's about one triple crown every 11 years. You want to read about some feats of athleticism that are actually impressive?

Check these crowning achievements of athleticism that I've accomplished over the years, that also happen to make up the bulk of my resume.

Made four consecutive three-pointers in cornhole

And it was kind of dark out, making it that much more difficult.

Scored 84 points in a single basketball game

Giphy

Regardless of the fact that it was against a third-grader on a nine-foot hoop. 84 points is 84 points.

Dunked a basketball

Giphy

Same third-grader, same hoop, but a lot more shit-talking.

Ran a mile on a broken foot.

Giphy

How long did it take? About 25 minutes. But that wasn't so much a byproduct of the broken foot as much as it was the byproduct of me being an overweight child.

Caught a seahorse with my bare hands.

Albeit it was dead.

Killed a bee with my bare hand.

Giphy

Let me set the scene: senior year, baseball dugout. I hear a bee buzzing behind me. I thought it would be funny if I turned around dramatically, swinging at nothing but air, only to say "Man, I really thought I had it". Quite the comedian, I know.

The thing is I actually managed to swat the bee out of midair. You just had to be there.

Snatched a tennis ball out of midair

Giphy

This is a tough one to explain. My sister was standing a foot in front of me with a tennis ball. She tried to throw it past me. Perfect. My comedic mind thought: try to catch it, miss it, make funny joke, let laughter ensue.

And once again, I underestimated my athleticism and actually caught the ball. Again, you had to be there.

Took a perfect game into the bottom of the ninth with two outs.

Giphy

MLB 2K11 was my shit.

Threw a football fifty yards.

Giphy

A real, leather, regulation-sized, youth football.

Spun a basketball on my finger.

Giphy

Justify can't do that.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
