Enoch Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Robert Johnson, . Awesome. Died at the age of 27. Records are sketchy, but the most supported theory is that the immediate cause of death was the consumption of poisoned whiskey. Awesome. Edited January 21, 2009 by Enoch
Enoch Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Special award for political awesomeness: Theodore Roosevelt. His military career, his political career, and his leisure time were devoted almost entirely to kicking ass. Was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his service in the Spanish-American War. Was permanently blinded in one eye in a boxing match, which he regularly held in state rooms at the White House. Personally shot about half of the animals in Africa. When campaigning for a return to the presidency in 1912, he was shot in the chest by a would-be assassin. Rather than do what a sane person would, he figured that so long as he wasn't coughing blood, there was no reason to interrupt his speech. So he went on to address the crowd for 90 minutes, with no microphone or amplification, with a bullet three inches deep in his chest and blood soaking through his shirt. Awesome. Oh, and just to show that he had other skills beyond badassery, he also founded the National Park System and won the Nobel Peace Prize.
taks Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 i think you guys have peaked. not quite. taks comrade taks... just because.
Laozi Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Special award for political awesomeness: Theodore Roosevelt. And it was under his watch that Americans broadened their focus of simply exploiting each other to exploiting the rest of the entire world. And props for Taks in bringing another Texan into the argument People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
LavenderGooms Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 just a note, it is cool to cry, as long as it is done in a manly way, when an awesome dude dies. there are no man-point penalties. taks ... or when winning championships.
theslug Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) The Last Emperor - Fedor Emelianenko 100% Russian bad ass. Number 1 fighter in the world. He shows no emotion and is quiet, quiet like a mega wolf in the tundra murdering a bear in it's sleep with a precision bite to the jugular and then making love to said bears dead body. There is no anger nor compassion, there is simply unrivaled destruction. No man is invincible but he's the closest damned thing there is to it. Great man or greatest man? Edited January 21, 2009 by theslug There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Gorgon Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hunter S Thomson went so overboard with the drugs the brain damage he received meant he could no longer concentrate long enough to write. That's just sad, not particularly awesome. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
blue Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) the most Awesome Dude who ever lived. Film critic Kim Morgan concurs. Marvin also makes her badass old guy list. Also: Harvey Keitel: Tura Satana: Edited January 22, 2009 by blue
Meshugger Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Whoa, i stand corrected. There is still a lot more in the neverending pool of awesomeness. Please do continue, fellas!

Aram Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) This is Bob "Tonsillitis" Dylan. He has a funny voice and and a couple of really awful albums but he's the greatest thing that ever happened to music. This is Sam "Bloodbath" Peckinpah. He is the manliest and therefore greatest director to ever live. Watching a movie by Sam Peckinpah makes you grow chest hair. It's a documented fact. He brought to cinema what is known as a bit of the old ultra-violence. He didn't invent cinematic violence, but he refined it to a bloody art. Behind the camera he was crazy, coked up, drunk, and extremely abusive to his actors--Awesome Dudes all. Randolph Scott, Charlton Heston, Warren Oates, William Holden, Robert Ryan, Jason Robards, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Harry Dean Stanton, and even Bob Dylan. Lee Marvin, the king of Awesome, was never in a Peckinpah movie, but legend has it that Lee Marvin was the one who gave him the script for The Wild Bunch. Sam Peckinpah is the cylinder pin around which all awesome dudes revolve and he is the hammer which fires them. As you can clearly see here, here, and here, Sam Peckinpah was a true connoisseur of violence. Not Matrix style backflipping in black trench coats BS, not retarded torture porn like we have now. Just pure manly ultra-violence. Edited January 24, 2009 by Aram
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Oerwinde Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Well, if Transformers are valid options I guess my avatar requires this: The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Monte Carlo Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Lee Marvin is still up there, closely followed by Ollie Reed. However, I give you Warrant Officers Josef Gabč
samm Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 All in all, it seems awesomeness has a lot to do with violence. Probably gonna take my suggestion out of this thread then... Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 It has to do with pretend violence. Its not like we're nominating Hitler or anything. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

Monte Carlo Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 All in all, it seems awesomeness has a lot to do with violence. Probably gonna take my suggestion out of this thread then... "How much can you possibly know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" Tyler Durden - Fight Club. Having said that, methinks a spiritual fight is as valid as a physical one in the right circumstances. I'm sure a lot of people would nominate a Mandela or a Ghandi.
samm Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Hm yes, you two kind of have a point here. I just rate spiritual strength higher and there's all these martial displays here. Can see the fascination for those, too, just not really share it most of the time. Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
Aram Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 Robert Johnson, . Awesome. Died at the age of 27. Records are sketchy, but the most supported theory is that the immediate cause of death was the consumption of poisoned whiskey. Awesome.
