Chests

Chests, man. There's just something about them. Something that makes you just want to "open them" and see what's inside. It could be something awesome, like treasure. Or it could just be some old "bric-a-brac". It doesn't matter, because it's the act of opening the chest that matters. It's an act that really does elicit feelings of pure happiness and joy. At least in me.

"Colour" Personalities

Okay, this is one cool concept. It's the idea, usually found in fantasy fiction, that characters and character classes can have different "colours" associated with them, that signify what that character represents. For example, a White Knight is a hero, striving for the greater good. A Black Knight is (usually) an evil dude, striving for his own selfish needs.

But then there are the more obscure ones -- Red Mage? How cool is that? What about Green Mage? Maybe he or she would be a mage who uses the power of Nature? Is that cool? I think it is.

White Witch is another wicked one that most people know, but what about like, Blue Witch? A Witch that harnesses the power of the ocean. Yeah!

Colour concepts are cool.

Soldier for the Working Week

"The Simpsons" is a topic which hasn't yet been breached. For a few reasons.... a) because the internet is already full of Simpsons stuff, and nobody would care - and b) because The Simpsons probably really sucks still.

However, even if I'm only willing to acknowledge Seasons-2-through-11.... Homer Simpson is nonetheless one of pop cultures most glorious triumphs... The guy is more famous than Michael Jackson and the Queen of England for Christ's sake. I'll show you why everybody loves him so much.



Holy fuck. When I first saw this, it blew my mind. There's so much of an "untold story" when it comes to Homer, and this little piece makes him look like a total Hero. So, not only has Groening and his writers managed to create a character who stands for every white working class person in the western world- they've managed to make him hilarious, and incredibly multidimensional. Homer is a soldier for the working week. Cool.

Morning Coffee

Man, having a morning coffee rules. Makes you feel awesome, and generally kickstarts your day. I'm never going to be keen to start my "9 to 5" life and become a "soldier for the working week" - but if/when I do, it will be with plenty of fucken coffee at the ready.

Providing for your family from BEYOND THE GRAVE

This is such a cool, cool thing. So, there's things like life insurance, and wills and whatever - those are great. But, this concept is slightly more awesome: Basically, you're a very, very sensible guy, and you invest your money really well. You do this with very little regard for your current situation - you obviously pay all the bills and feed your family, but nothing extravagant. You're all about the long term.

So, when you die, not only do you pass down all of your assets to your significant other (financial dependents) and other remaining family - but they pick up "the books" to find that they never again have to work a day in their lives. Your investments are watertight, and there's enough to go around for everyone.

Providing for your family from beyond the grave. Nice.

Total Badasses: Arthas

Everybody hates Warcraft, or something - so i'll be brief. Arthas Menethil is an incredible badass. Here's why:


a) He's the Crown Prince of Lordaeron. Being the Crown prince of anywhere, is an awesome claim to fame.

b) He is a "Knight of the Silver Hand". Pow.

b2) This is all before he fell victim to the "taint of the scourge" - and became corrupted. Check this next part out.

c) He carries a fucken RUNEBLADE. The blade's name is "Frostmourne".

Ice

Ice rules. I will try and convince you of this, in this three-headed post. First head. Check out this ice:


This ice has gone bright blue, for some reason. That's awesome. Really just because the 'cartoon' version of what ice looks like, is founded on the occurrence of actual electric blue ice. Why is it so blue? Is it "extra cold" or something? Help me out here.

Ok, so second head:

Fucken blizzards, man. Treacherous. If I was to pick a natural disaster I'd NEVER like to find myself caught in - I'd definitely choose a blizzard. Keep me away from that shit. Treacherous.

Third head: Ice cubes.


You put them in your drinks, and its great. Definitely make sure you have these available in your house, at all times. Both my girlfriend and Luxury Wolf DON'T keep ice cubes, despite the fact they have freezers. Waste of a perfectly good "chilled drinks" opportunity, if you ask me.

Topless Girls in Jeans, man.

Girls being topless while wearing jeans is rad. Am I right, fellas?

Don't ask me why, it just is. Look at this woman! I think I'd like to live in a world where this was the social norm, to just rock out in a pair of Levis, and nothing else.

Coup De Grace

Dude.

Ripping out a beating human heart. Best way to "kill someone" ever.

Violence is wrong... but seriously, whoa.

The Old World

Old world maps are great! Not only are they really, really beautifully designed & decorated, but the "inaccuracy" of them is so amazing. Look at Australia, its just kind of "scrawled" because it was so hard to navigate and draw. So great.

There's also "continental drift" and stuff, but i don't reckon any of that has affected the lay of the land in millions of years - so this was the best possible result given the technology available.

Cool.
