The Periodic Table of Awesome
« on: April 21, 2011, 12:49:27 AM »
Bacon is of course #1.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

There is no Det Cord. ???

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

This thing is terribly flawed.  Where are the suppressors?  Sawed off shotguns?  If you're putting bounty huners on the list, why not Monster Hunters and Mall Nanja's?  Mr. T, but no Gunny Ermy?  No John Wayne?  No James Bond.  No Han Solo or Boba Fett?

Piece of junk...   :lol:

In the original version (http://io9.com/#!5113799/the-periodic-table-of-awesoments - which actually came from somewhere called Dapperstache) from a few years ago, the block occupied in our version by Samuel L. Jackson was given to... BOB SAGET?!?  :facepalm:

Perhaps a periodic table for APS is in order...

Bacon, detcord and yosafbridge occuping top spots

Fistful, burning floppy disks and zardoz occuping rotten spots

Once completed, it should be stickyed at the top.

I hearby motion for such a table to be commisioned.

Is the motion seconded?

Liz should be on the table, too  =)
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I third the motion that APS have it's own table.  The one in the OP is the Periodic Table of Meh.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

It doesn't even specifically mention guns, and is therefore Fail by default.

And without John Wayne or John Moses Browning,  you can hardly call it awesome.
