I Thought Beer Was for the Horses And the Men Get Whiskey...

But this is pretty awesome. I was thinking "hey, wouldn't it be nice if someone started a website through which an appreciative US (or French, cough, WWII) citizen could buy a soldier a beer.

Well, of course it already exists, and now it's going on my page for the duration of our wars. So, uh, forever.

www.beerforsoldiers.org

And here's the song to which I alluded in the title. It's one of Toby Keith's best. His official video version is terrible, so we'll see how long this one stays up -

Florida Has a Gator Hunting Season

Too bad they don't mean UF alumni!

Gator huntin' season has officially begun. And to make it even more badass than you would ever imagine, you are not allowed to hunt them with a gun. You have to use a bow and arrow. Or, presumably, your fists.

Read all about it in the Miami Herald.

The American

I didn't even have to watch the whole trailer to know this is gonna be awesome. I find that things that start with "American" are totally awesome, and this goes to a whole new level.

Halloween Is Awesome

So, so awesome. And it's less than three months away! I have many ideas, as usual, and this year, one of them was Voltron. That is, until I looked up Voltron costumes and stumbled upon this -

  If you'd like to see more photos of an impossibly perfect costume, check them out at Gizmodo. The only way I could compete with this would be to become a cartoon somehow.

Space, B*tches

It's official. Time travel is not only possible, but necessary for the survival of the species, according to "world's smartest man," Stephen Hawking. Also, don't talk to aliens.

Chinese Public Transportation Is Going To Be Pretty Awesome

While the Chinese are designing buses that can literally drive on top of automobile traffic, we here in the greatest country in the world are building school buses that go 367 mph, just for the hell of it. This is what makes us so awesome, yet at the same time, pretty stupid.



The Chinese are planning to rule the 21st Century with the Indians and the Brasileiros, while over here we're still number 1, but clearly on the decline. Another concept the Chinese are working on is a high speed train that doesn't have to stop for passengers to board and alight (that means "get down/off"). It's incredible (I assume you speak Chinese, so turn the sound up to hear the hilarious voice-over)-
