"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig. " —The Man With No Name

The Man with No Name is as fictional character played by Clint Eastwood in three movies: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, For a Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. Not only was this one of the greatest characters in any western, these are also some of the best westerns ever. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is currently listed as the #4 highest rated movie of all time on imdb.com.

The man with no name was totally awesome. He lived through all three movies, while killing every other serious opponents. He never lost a gun battle. He was captured a number of times, but never lost his cool. He was 'the good' but really never was all that good. He looked out for himself, but walked the edge efficiently enough to remain a morale man.

As well as all of his skills, he rocked a totally sweet poncho, carried a vintage Colt 1851 Navy .36, and wore perhaps the greatest cowboy hat ever filmed. We don't condone smoking, but if you have to smoke, the cigarillos the Man with No Name was hooked on were the coolest tobacco in the West.

I passed a van this morning with a Man with No Name mural on it.

The Man with No Name was the inspiration for Roland the Gunslinger in Stephen King's magnum opus "The Dark Tower." Awesome begetting awesome = double awesome.

Jack McTanner replied to DorkPower on 6/4/2009

The Dark Tower should definitely be nominated sometime or another.

the man with no name is what i've used for my basis of what is awesome since i first saw him when i was 9. and, from a purely feminine point of view.... he's really f***ing hot

I agree - anyone who can look that sexy and badass in a poncho has my awesome vote.

onetwobri replied to Ivana B. Awesome on 5/11/2009

i KNOW! i did not think it was possible. actually, it isn't possible. but the man with no name doesn't waste his time in such frivolous things like what is "possible" and what is "not at all possible in any way wtf" p.s. are we the only chicks here?
