5th Place January 09 Phenom. Messiah. Revolutionary. Savior. Superhero. Barack Hussein Obama II will be sworn in to the United State presidency on January 20th, 2009. He will be the first black president in the history of the United States, a country who's history began with 337 years of slavery. He is a Harvard Graduate with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude (if you don't know what that is, just trust me, its awesome). He went from state senator, to US Senator, to President of the United States in four years. What more could Barack possibly accomplish? Awesomeoff champion maybe??
Nominated by Ivan Awesomeoff

![]() ![]() ![]() MOCK APPLE PIE
Special Selection February 09 Fer realz! You can bake an apple pie, substituting the apples for ritz crackers. This pie was invented 1852, during the migration west—when young women did not have those crisp New England apples available—being homesick they invented this pie. I'm not sure if this recipe has survived because of corporate cracker marketing or perhaps it has something to do with not outdoing your mother in-law. PS.. if you like cookin with the ritz....try Faux Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies.

The Nobel prize is just another way of saying President Obama is awesome.

Thoughts on baking and eating Mock Apple Pie:
"Don't you want a little taste of the glory? See what it taste like?" - Nacho Libre
Mock Apple Pie is easy to make. Besides Ritz Crackers, its main ingredient is a lemony simple syrup. Surround both in pie shell, sprinkle some cinnamon in there too, and you've got Mock Apple Pie. It has more of a citrus-like, lemony flavor, but I can see it being a decent stand-in in a time and place where apples were hard to come by or too extravagant an expense. But my take on it is it stands on its own. It doesn't need to pass as an apple pie imitation; its good in its own right.
The world hosts many castaways. There's the kid who doesn't get picked for the games. There's the girl who doesn't get asked to the dances. There's the Cubs fan, cheering year after year and always coming up short. And there's Mock Apple Pie, a symbol of losing here in the Awesomeoff community. But doesn't every castaway have a little awesome? The kid who doesn't get picked for the games creates a billion-dollar software company. The girl who doesn't get asked to the dance find the person who knows she's beautiful. The Cubs fan . . . well, isn't there some awesome in their undefeated hope? And Mock Apple Pie, wasn't it awesome to the western settlers, dreaming of the apple pies they had back east?
As I had my first bite of MAP I thought, "Sweet, tasty, pretty good and . . . (Dare I say? Yes, I shall) . . . awesome.

I had trouble uploading the pic of me eating MAP (I think I maxed out my photo content with too many pictures of the Most Interesting Man). Anyway, if you're curious, it's here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2370704&l=6f863b70a1&id=505254157

Thanks for the great post. Never shall I mock Mock Apple Pie again, and humbly beg forgiveness for those incidents of unrighteous pie mockery in my past. DorkPower, I salute you!
reply
Just when I was about to declare this one of the most incredible things to ever happen on AwesomeOff, it occurred to me... when they Cubs finally get their long awaited World Series championship ring, their fans will not devour them!?! You ate the champion! Mock Apple pie is awesome because of its ability to dance and sing, not because it was tasty!!??! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
reply
I think we're still along way from calling MAP a champion. It's simple earned the right not to be the benchmark for un-Awesomeness. From now on, the un-Awesome will be referred to as Couch Dress. I'd say Meat Suitcase (I too am turned off by the turd in the suitcase), but it still has 5,000 more votes and one less match than the Couch Dress.
reply
When Meat Suitcase gets a win, I'll eat it, too (except the turd, though).

I'm crushed. ==+Bob Ross HAS DEFEATED Mock Apple Pie by a final score of: 1254 to 1248==
reply
The battle is not over. I think MAP should win over Couch Dress, Meat Suitcase, and Moustache Balaclava.
reply
I switched my vote on this one at the last minute, and it was my vote that ended it.
I realized that Bob Ross was way more awesome than MAP. I realized that I couldn't bring myself to vote on the basis of a desire for MAP to get a win, when MAP didn't deserve my vote. Bob Ross did. reply
"OMG You killed MAPpy! You B@$T@RD!"

Obama is so cool, he can be at two places at once!

I am a big fan of Obama, but for some reason the thought of MAP winning vs. Obama seems like a very awesome victory. Elect Mock Apple Pie 2009!
reply
DorkPower commented ( about Mock Apple Pie ) on 9/4/2009
For some reason I really want to see Mock Apple Pie get a win this time. So here's my promise: if it wins a match I will bake one and make my profile picture for the rest of the month be of me eating it.
reply
Awesome!
reply
I don't know if I can vote against a real life mad genius. I didn't see him die and if comic books have taught me anything it's, if you did actually witness the death it most likely didn't happen. So I have no choice but to believe he is alive and has created an even more efficient way of harnessing electricity to smite his foes. So my vote is going to stay with Tesla.
Also, that pie sounds dreadful.

Obama being on Awesomeoff has caused actual political debates= not awesome
reply
Freerunning being on Awesomeoff has caused people to run around outside and try to learn how to do it (including me)= Very Awesome
reply
Ok, so I had to try it, with 8 foot snow drifts in the yard, what could go wrong...... Aieeeeeeeeeeee............ 25 foot drop to 8 foot drift, and I missed the greenhouse......... In hospital.... doc is putting in metal rod in about 30 minutes.... Amputation could be next, I don't know. This really sucks. Obama is more awesome
reply
obviously metal rods put anywhere in your body is awesome. Trying to jump across a 25 foot drop on your first freerunning attempt... not so much. (also... when these pros freerun what they're doing is dangerous, not stupid)
reply
p.s. I'm glad we're discussing this awesome-ly and not bringing ourselves down to the level of youtube comments. thanks for that. i do respect your opinion... just whole-heartily disagree.
reply
I'm glad you are keeping it civil too! Saves me from replacing more 'uck's with ***'s
reply
oh.. i meant political debates on Awesomeoff.

He's about the be PRESIDENT of the FREAKING USA...even though his middle name is HUSSEIN, his Dad was a Moslem AND was from Africa. Nothing can be awesomer. Nothing.
reply
Obama is fairly awesome.
reply
obama is not going to solve all of our problems, or all of the world's problems. no single individual has all of the answers.
BUT obama is handsome, articulate, intelligent, has great charisma, an open mind, a really cool name, and an excellent foreign policy. he's exactly the kind of leader we need. yay!
