MOA? You two sound like you’re married, in the straight sense. Donna know about her?
David Caruso is the DaVinci of acting.
It pains me to hear this, as I have seen snippets of CSI: Miami in the patient rooms and I can only hope David Caruso become the next permanent guest on Hollywood Squares.
Warrik got shot!!! By a mole! Bad guy needs killin’!

Ohh, so is she the hot blonde chick with the skin job make up who “uploaded” in that X-Files episode? Back when X-Files was teh shit and the Lone Gunmen were so cool, before the brilliant series spin off mocked their very existence, and Gillian and Duchovney were all happy to be employed?

Yeah, but I watch it in a totally post-modern ironic way.
Oddly enough, that’s one of the excuses in the foreword for if your wife catches you playing the tabletop RPG Macho Women With Guns. Which I bought on the assurance that the feats would have me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off, as the saying goes.

You forgot the “It’s my turn now!”

By the way, what’s with the ordering of stuff on the front page? All the dates are out of order. Was that just from getting the site set up or something? Are new posts going to appear at the top from now on, as per usual?

I think that the posts do occur in correct order and jim has just made this a sticky at the top for the time being.

I completely agree.
...of course, I also think Carrot Top is the Shakespeare of comedy.
I am finally registered, and I told 2 people, like the Breck commercial. Now if they tell two people, and so on, and so on, and so on…..
Nice to have a site bookmarked that isn’t full of politics. I have enough of those.
I dunno about no Shakespeare, but he’s the Arnold of comedy, that’s for sure.
Oh, no-fucking-kidding, man! That’s completely sick, ain’t it?
When I first saw him running around like that, it gave me nightmares for a week!
I mean… yeah, dude. You’re buff, sure.
But between the freckles, the guy-liner and man-scara (wtf is that about?) and that little puff of prison-jumpsuit-orange pubic hair peeking out of your beltline, it’s the perfect recipe for industrial-strength instant gag-reflex.
What’s the point of all the lifting, man? Srsly?
As buff as you are, you’re still going to pick up chicks like I pick up cement trucks.
You just look like some kind of failed alien experiment at imitating a human being.
All the hard bodybuilding work, for absolutely nothing.
I can hardly think of a less attractive person.
...and yes, I am including Rosie O’Donnell in that thought.
Yikes.
Hey, there’s a thought. Since he obviously doesn’t mind changing his given name to something more catchy, for professional reasons or whatever… maybe he should just go ahead and legally change him name to “Yikes!”. Exclamation point, and all.
“Ladies and gentlemen… Harry’s Laugh Lounge is proud to introduce the comedic stylings of…Yikes!”
JimK: Hi kids. Welcome To Made of Awesome. The plan here is to talk about things we all love: TV shows, video games, cool tech and other stuff that is awesome. If you’re following me from another site, some of you may remember my MOA co-blogger Emily from a few years back. We did a little podcast together. She’s…unique.
Emily: Is that some sort of insult? I’m attempting to parse it in a way that is not insulting and I am unsuccessful as of yet, Mr. Smartypants.
JimK: Woah, slow down there, Miss Overheat-y McJumptoconclusions! I’m just saying that you’re special. Different. Unique in a good way. Let’s not start this new venture off arguing in front of everyone, OK? Maybe we could just tell them what we’re going to do, if that’s all right with you.
Emily: Fine. Shall I explain it to them?
JimK: I wish you would, and I also wish you would stop sulking.
Emily: I’m not sulking, I’m just not thrilled with your attitude. I shall endeavor to ignore that input while I explain the purpose of this site to the nice people reading.
Here at Made Of Awesome, Jim and I, along with our friends who will come along later, will attempt to parse the vast stream of data that is popular culture, culling the good from the bad and hopefully helping you avoid things that suck.
JimK: Well said, Emily. See? That wasn’t so hard, was it? There’s more on what we’re about here, but the short version is, we’re all about the awesome. Some things are obviously awesome, like Summer Glau, or Iron Man. Some things require a more nuanced approach, by which I mean we will savagely destroy any and all forms of entertainment that do not meet our awesomely excellent high standards.
Emily: You repeatedly and intentionally watch CSI Miami. How high can your standards really be?
JimK: Yeah, but I watch it in a totally post-modern ironic way.
Emily: Oh. Well I guess that makes it OK then. (Dear Readers: He can’t read this part in parenthesis. I am totally lying to him. The fact that he insists on watching CSI Miami is in no way ironic nor is it post-modern.)
JimK: David Caruso is the DaVinci of acting.
UPDATE:
JimK: Couple technical details…first of all, if you want an avatar for your comments, and of course to alter your profile info, you can go here and start filling out sections. Secondly, if you could click the stars at the bottom of each post and give them a vote, that’d be great. It will help me figure out which topics are more popular, and will probably lean toward me covering those, making your MOA experience all the awesomer. Thanks!
