Raleys commercial....Excellent Words!

Raleys is having a contest where "regular" folks or employees can create a 30 second commercial, highlighting Raley's Fine Food products or other private label items. Of course I had to enter, and here is the link to it on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYb6rf5PvAo (make sure you watch it in High Quality, or it will be blurry)

If you are interested in seeing other folks entries, then do a search for Raleys commercials on You Tube. Also, the top 3 selected by the contest committee will be posted on the Raleys website, and will be voted on by the public. Of course if mine is one of the 3, I know I can count on your vote, right? Thanks.

By the way, the Cheerleaders in the commercial are from Oakmont High School, Varsity girls. They will be going to the Nationals in Cheer competition soon. Way to go ladies! You did a great job in the video, thanks for the time and effort! (I work with one of the girls on the squad, Clarissa)

I was recently thinking about all the words that have the same meaning: Excellent or above average. Here is the list I came up with, in no particular order:

Excellent
Outstanding
Exceptional
Great
Awesome
Superb
Fantastic
Incredible
Tremendous
Terrific
Wonderful
Stupendous
Marvelous
Superior
Extraordinary
Splendid
Remarkable
Amazing
Outstanding
Fantastic
Magnificent
Sensational
Super
Fantabulous
Spectacular
Stunning
Astonishing
Dazzling
Glorious
Grand
Fabulous
Impressive
Brilliant
Breathtaking
Astonishing
Dandy

That is a lot of synonym's! Shouldn't there be a ranking system for them? How do we know which is better, Fantastic or Fabulous? Are you Sensational or Spectacular? Magnificent or Marvelous?

I know, you are thinking to yourself, "who cares", right? Well I care, obviously, or I would not be mentioning it here. I just think its weird we need so many words that mean the same thing.

Yes, I know Fantabulous is not in the Dictionary, but Van Morrison used it in his hit song, Moondance. That was an Awesome album. Or was it Astonishing? One can never be sure. At any rate, have a Dazzling Day, or an Extraordinary Evening. Or, be like the Farmer, Outstanding in his field......Never mind.
