Whose up for round two of Awesomeness! on DAPS? That’s right YOU!
Coming directly from the “Awesomeness” fan page on the Facebooks, we’re delivering a bunch of cool shit so you don’t have to find it! WOO!
First off we have the most ingenious maneuver on an escalator..in the history of mankind! Watch this and then tell us that you don’t want to try it yourself. However don’t forget Brodie’s famous words.
Next on the Awesome train, is a man who we can only assume is the grandfather of Chuck Norris. A burgelar broke into the home of this old dude (72 year old Frank Corti) that happened to be a former boxer. Whoops.
The blows were so powerful that McCalium, who had just lunged at Mr Corti with the knife, was left looking like he had been in ‘a car accident’.
The pensioner then restrained him until police arrived. He was jailed for four and a half years yesterday after a judge told him he had ‘got what he deserved’. via DailyMail.Co.Uk
By the way here’s the Assailant’s mugshot after the arrest. We think, “OH SNAP” is appropriate here…
Joining Gramps the British boxer in today’s awesome roundup is this guy who isn’t a good enough human being to fly a kite.
Yeah, that was kinda funny. But nothing compared to a gallery of people posing with that big bronze bull in New York City. Check out the entire gallery here.
The saying goes “grab the bull by the horns”. However, the part that everyone leaves out is “unless you’re in New York and the bull is made of bronze. In which case you should grab the bull by the testicles”.
You don’t believe me? Well I’ve got over thirty pics after the break to prove it. via Don Chavez
Speaking of balls, if you’re interested in acquiring balls of the blue variety, check this ish out.
That would be this year’s Sports Illustrated cover model Bar Refaeli, the only reason to ever be jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Well give you a second…
Ok, we’re all good right? Here’s our two favorite user submissions of the day. First Mikey Anderson gave us this fun little number explaining the newest in personal training trends!
Second, we have this pretty awesome Jib Jab video which Vincent Miele dropped on our page, about the #1 Superhero of our generation.
And finally we’d like to leave you with just a little bit of irony. Consumerist made up a list of the Top 10 most ironic ads in history, We’re personally sold on Heroin as a solution to that nagging cough!
Check out the rest of the list on Consumerist here. (Did you know James Dean did a safe driving PSA? We didn’t!)
Happy ID4 everyone, Make sure you follow “Awesomeness” on your Facebook profile for Awesomeness delivered directly to your Facebook News feed!
