So does it work? Hey, maybe we can get Lyle Galdeira of KHNL to put it to the test.
Outstanding Ironman
Hawai'i's favorite Ironman competition is beginning to look a lot like "Frasier."
The 2003 Ironman Triathlon World Championship was among the nominees announced on March 4 by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the 25th Annual Sports Emmy Awards.
The Ironman broadcast was nominated for outstanding edited sports special, outstanding camera work, outstanding short feature and outstanding open/tease.
It could have been five, but the Emmy's don't recognize most outrageously fit ensemble cast.
Over the years, the Ironman Triathlon production has won nine Emmy awards and has received 35 nominations.
The Ironman broadcast, which originally aired on NBC on Dec. 6, is to be shown again July 25.

Yep, nothing inspires creativity like a good April Fool's prank. And if you've ever been a perpetrator, a victim or just a reliable witness to an inspired act of April 1 trickery, we want to hear about it.
Send your best April Fool's story, along with your name and phone number, to mtsai@honoluluadvertiser.com by tomorrow. If your story is interesting, funny or clever enough, we'll write about it in an Island Life story April 1.
No foolin'.
Feel free to mix colors

Each season, Pantone Color Institute surveys the designers of New York Fashion Week to find the most directional colors. Pantone reports that designers looked to nature for inspiration — from garden to beach and desert. Colors are feminine, passionate, rejuvenating and energizing.
Among the hottest: pinks of every persuasion, from pale peachskin to fandango (hot pink) and cayenne (orangy pink). A sunny cadmium yellow plays off leaf green. Blues are big, with vista (a deep sky blue) and dusted periwinkle complemented with plaza taupe.
"Color mixing is more obvious and dramatic than ever," said Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone's executive director, "evoking feelings of freedom, energy and excitement, it is an affirmation that there are better things to come."
