This Week in Awesome - second week of September/08

First and foremost...

I imagine alot of you have seen this already, but holy crap.




MATT DAMON!!

He's Sexist!

No but seriously... Can you imagine if I was actually that dumb?

Lil Matty Damon layin' the smack down. Telling it like it is.
Sure, before you can say "applesauce, bitch", the right wing will be saying how celebrities should shut the fuck up and stick to acting, atleast 'till Toby Keith puts out another song about beating up Arabs, thus making him patriot and an American Hero.

Between being in Kevin Smith films, Fucking Sarah Silverman, and this, Matt Damon is turning into an awfully respectable fellow.

How do you like THEM apples, VP-Candidate Publicity Stunt?


Mambo About Masonry
Ok, I know in last week's "This Week in Awesome" I said Angela's "Hamblogger" was my new favorite Blog, but this is my new, New Favorite Blog™. Officially.
"Mambo about Masonry" is my boy Mark's new writing project, and it's the kind of blog that's so rich in quality it makes me want to quit blogging forever and write clumsy Batman fan fiction instead.
He posts short but clever essays pretty much every day, sometimes more than once, often relating a certain facet of life to music or pop culture.
It's like reading Chuck Klosterman, without that nagging feeling that he wouldn't be any fun to hang out with in real life.
Perhaps most baffling aspect is the quality/quantity ratio. It defies all laws of common sense.
Read Up!


Zack & Miri Make a Porno
Yes, I'm still going on about this fucking movie.
It's awesome though guys, seriously.


Pop vs. Soda vs. Coke
Well, what'll it be?
Personally, it's Pop.
I understand "Soda". It's an american thing, like "Restroom".
But Coke!?! Theres just something so wrong about that.
Calling every Cola "Coke" makes a certain degree of sense; because it's sort of like Kleenex, Rollerblades or Band-aids (not tissues, inline skates or adhesive bandages), where the brand name has superseded the actual product name.
For example, at the bar you don't hear anyone going "Rum n' Pepsi, please", even if thats what's in it.
But do people in Texas call every carbonated drink "Coke"?
Would someone point at your 2 litre of Mountain Dew and say "I'm parched. I'm going to nab some of your coke, guy."
Thats all kinds of wrong! WRONG!
ps. As for the Couch vs. Sofa debate; I say get fancy, roll with "Chesterfield".

Minor Threat Family Tree Billboard
Somewhere in London, Ontario, a punk rock historian is giggling...





Click for big.


This was put up outside of Call the Office in London, Ontario.
Varying reasons for this baffling yet awesome billboard have been given (eleaborate graffiti, art installation, etc), but no concrete answer has been given for it, nor has an artist/historian come forward (to my knowledge).
Queries to London correspondents went unanswered at press time.
The mystery continues...

Oh, and it's past midnight, so Fuck Metallica.
