Hello everyone, it has been a long time yes, but I was distracted by one of the awesome things I'm going to write about, so you know it's pretty awesome. Secondly, as you may know from my previous post featuring guest writer Holly, I was watching Harry Potter movies. Except for somehow we only watched 2 of the movies, so that kind of failed. Also it was Canada Day and Scottish Festival last weekend. For those of you who don't know Scottish Festival is where my town displays its outrageous Scottishness (In fact, I've heard from multiple sources that our town is more Scottish than Scotland, so that's exciting). Furthermore, I went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 and Cars 2, which were both awesome, so if you've seen Kung Fu Panda and/or Cars (the last time I saw Cars was in Greek on a train from Florence to Rome when the kid beside me was watching it) you should definitely check out the sequels. And I coach soccer, which I can't remember if I said before, but we had a game and lost 14-0, so I was sad. But now I'm not sad, which means it's time to discuss awesomeness once again. Today we'll be discussing a website called Sporcle and Novelty T-Shirts, which you can also find on websites. Remember, becoming awesome is not a spectator sport, so get out there and start being awesome.
Sporcle
Level of Awesomeness: Mentally Stimulating
What Is It: Do you remember how you used to love writing tests in school? No? That's probably because if you got too many questions wrong you would fail and at the end of that slippery slope wind up being homeless for the rest of your life. Well Sporcle allows you to test your knowledge without the threat of failure (since it's just a quiz on the Internet) and in subjects that you might actually find interesting like movies and music for example. Maybe you want to find out how many of the original 150 Pokemon you can name or if you can name every Disney movie ever made or if you can tell the difference between The Beatles and Rebecca Black. Technically you could also use Sporcle to learn things that might actually help you in school like what are all the elements on the periodic table or the names of all the countries in the world, but that would be lame and something only someone like me would do. If you are thinking of a particular type of quiz you wish they had on Sporcle, but you don't see it in my suggestions do not despair. THERE ARE MORE THAN 5 QUIZZES!!! Go to Sporcle now, and type in what you're looking for.
Why Is It Awesome: Because you get to feel smart when you can name a bunch of useless facts or list off every item in a meaningless list, but if for some reason you can't there's no need to worry; no one cares how you did, and you won't ruin your life by failing. Finally, a place to show how much you know about insignificant things. Awesome.
Novelty T-Shirts
Level of Awesomeness: Letting mute people tell jokes since the 1960's
What Is It: Look down at your chest. Are you wearing a shirt? For the purposes of this demonstration you are. Does your shirt have short sleeves? Yes? Perfect. Does it have a funny picture or say something funny on it? If yes, congratulations you have a novelty t-shirt. If no, you need to buy a novelty t-shirt. Let's go shoppinggg!!!
Go Here -> Busted Tees
And Here -> Snorg Tees
And Here -> LOLmart
And Here -> Threadless (also sells other awesome shirts)
Now wait until your t-shirt arrives. Put it on.
Why Is It Awesome: Look in the mirror. You look awesome. Actually this is probably the best you have ever looked in your entire life, and it's all thanks to your novelty t-shirt.
