The very first fan person who likes us that responded was named Matt Cyr who wanted to start your day with a little Disturbed. Although he didn’t start the thread with the obvious “FIRST!”, Matt chose to just get down to bizness and get to his morning metal.
Oh, and here’s that song he asked for, “I’m Alive” by Disturbed.
I really have no idea where this image of Batman fighting a shark with a lightsaber originated from, but it is definitely full of awesome. (Via Slashfilm)
Amazing! Seriously, check out that slashfilm link because there’s a clip from the Batman series from the 70s that’s worth watching.
Tornadoes destroy things, and are by definition Awesome. Like power of nature awesome!
Tornadoes may be nature’s most violent storms. Although they are not large like hurricanes, there are about 1,000 reported tornadoes in the US each year. A tornado is a powerful column of spinning air that reaches from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. The strongest tornadoes can cause massive destruction and have wind speeds of 250 mph or more. The path of damage can be a mile wide or more and 50 miles long. (Via Dangerous Planet)
Being that this is a video from “The Tornado Channel“, i have to assume the high pitched voice in the video is a scientist. In his words, “That’s the hugest tornado i ever seen”
Here’s a video of some assholes yelling while you try to watch TWO TORNADOES AT THE SAME TIME!!!
Then we have TWO TORNADOES AT THE SAME TIME… IN THE FUCKING OCEAN!!!!
I’m not going to mince words today. I want to give the people what the people want to see, and what the people obviously want to see is videos of Kangaroos Fighting!
also here’s a tee shirt which is somewhat related:
There are few things in life that embody Awesomeness more than a Rooster-Zebra contemplating a grilled cheese sandwich. To learn more about this MASTERPIECE. Check out the artist (Matt Forderer’s) official website.
Our friend @porknbomb passed this our way, thanks for being awesome p&B!

These are three examples of why my Social Media allegiance has shifted from Facebook to Twitter in the past year. Why Twitter? 1.) Because Facebook used to be a nice/easy way of keeping in touch with people and 2.)Because Twitter allows you to do all of the useful things Facebook does, only there’s no place for all of the excess bullshit.
Thing is, Facebook (and the companies that create social simulation games like Farmville, cougZyngacough) are making boatloads of money from this nonsense. In order to get these games and fan pages like “You took too long to text back, so i fell asleep.” more inherently viral FB has actually went through 3 site redesigns!
Now getting gifts of digital sheep and becoming a fan of falling asleep and missing a text are pretty much the dumbest ways to spend your time online.. so, how come people do it? We need to have a scientist figure this out, like ASAP…Oh, there was? Oh, ok let me tell the readers!
There was this cat named Maslow, really nerdy Psychologist type dude. He proposed that there is a hierarchy of needs that every human being strives for in order to live a complete life. So what do sharing sheep and telling your friends you hate it when your Mario Kart falls off a cliff and you end up in 12th place have in common? They’re both was of staying connected to friends and family, albeit in the form of the lowest possible denominator.
Humans need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, whether it comes from a large social group, such as clubs, office culture, religious groups, professional organizations, sports teams, gangs (“Safety in numbers”), or small social connections (family members, intimate partners, mentors, close colleagues, confidants). They need to love and be loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others. In the absence of these elements, many people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and clinical depression. This need for belonging can often overcome the physiological and security needs, depending on the strength of the peer pressure; an anorexic, for example, may ignore the need to eat and the security of health for a feeling of control and belonging. (via Wikipedia)
Shared Experience makes us feel connected to others. People like to know that other people notice the same stupid bullshit they do, hence Seinfeld’s icon status. In the same way, people like to know that other people are also bored enough to give the gift of sheep.
Knowing that, I feel like complaining about it isn’t going to get me anywhere. Thank the lord there’s that other “C” word… Capitalize. Anyone here a fan of “Awesomeness“?
By the way, if you’ve been sitting there trying to figure out what that useful twitter stuff is I’ll be covering that next week.
HOLY SNATCH, have we got some good shit for you today! let’s just get to it…
Today we asked you good people of the facebooks “What is the most awesome superpower?” One of your answers made us pee just a little. (click image to enlarge)
Speaking of teleporting into people’s dicks… Stop being a jerk and admire what is probably the coolest concept for wedding invitations EVAR! (and please spare the “you’re throwing your life away” comments for just a moment)
This one ingenius couple sent their family and friends View Masters, complete with personalized 3d images of things they enjoyed.
Our invitations were kept secret from EVERYONE. My parents, sister, friends, everyone. So it was a complete surprise when they showed up in mailboxes. We are both graphic designers but wanted to truly splurge on our invitations. We knew a lot of our invite list wouldn’t be able to make it. With the combination of a destination wedding, our family scattered across the country and the economy, we wanted to give all of our invitees something special even if they can’t be there to share the day with us. This was our biggest expense vs. what we could have spent but I feel like it’s worth it. (via Offbeat Bride)
Yes, that is a Mecha-Godzilla. Too Fucken awesome for words… be sure to check out the rest of the images that could be seen in the couple’s View Master invites here.
To even out the estrogen : masculinity ratio here, let’s just jump to something with a little more BALLS. Everyone loves a good flash mob, most everyone loves them some martial arts, and then even more people enjoy Mortal Kombat…er why don’t you just watch.
If you weren’t into that video, you might have thought to yourself.. “FAIL” well, most of you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Check yourself before you wreck yourself with this ROCKETBOOM video or something…
Speaking of FAIL…
IDK about you guys, but we don’t think ass implants are a joking matter to be laughed at. A literal “life imitating art” situation straight from the pages of Charlie and the Chocolate factory however, makes us tee-hee… just a little bit. The only image CBS 2 had on it’s page was a cup of hot chocolate, so here’s Augustus Gloop…
A spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office says the 29-year-old temporary worker at Cocoa Services Inc. plant fell after a blade used to mix raw chocolate hit him. The man’s name has not been released.
The accident happened around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday as the worker was loading raw chocolate into the vat where it’s melted and mixed before being shipped elsewhere to be made into candy products.
Prosecutor’s spokesman Jason Laughlin says a co-worker tried to shut off the machine and two others tried to pull the man out of the 8-foot deep vat.
Cocoa Services hires a second company — Lyons and Sons — to do the mixing. (via CBS 2)
Actually that made us kind of sad, let’s just watch the Willy Wonka clip to forget about it…
We’re going to be giving you your daily dose of Awesomeness from now on! Join our facebook fan page if you want this kinda ish delivered to your facebook newsfeed!
First off we have this creepy sewer creature, people aren’t quite sure what it is.. but there’s early buzz that it might be viral marketing for Cloverfield 2.
Unknown life form lives in sewers, notice the retraction of a stiff nail like object from the third and last creature from the seam in the pipe.
This video is a repost after the original owner strangely decided to take it down… Via Youtube.
Next up, Something called LOLrio Kart which is a cool video with a kinda shitty name. This asian dude modded a Shopping cart into a Mario Kart like go cart that actually goes 45mph. LOL at his feet hanging out the bottom.
