      WAKE N' BACON
March 2009 Champion Say goodbye to beeping alarms and muzak to jump start your day. Masterminds Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini, Hsiao-huh Hsu are changing the way we wake up. They have invented the Wake n' Bacon, an alarm clock that uses the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon to start your day. Yes, you can have breakfast in bed.
PS. This alarm clock does not come with a snooze feature. If you sleep too long your fire alarm will kick your lazy ass out of bed.

Am I the only one who finds this one of the most boring Awesomeoff entries of all time? It basically amounts to "Infinite Distance" which can be a somewhat interesting concept to consider, but hardly deserving of a place the upper pantheon of Awesomnity. If you look at all the other Awesomeoff entries, they are people, things, or accomplishments. Infinite Distance is about as exciting as Perfect Roundness or Infinitely Repeating Numbers. Plus, shouldn't it at least be THE Extent of the Universe? That bothers me too. And don't even get me started on the fact that this entry's write-up is one of the worst run-on sentences I've ever read. It's practically an Infinite Distance Without Proper Punctuation.
reply
Haha, I found the description of my paragraph to be quite amusing. Point well taken.
reply
Sounds like someone took a s*** in your cornflakes this morning, Thad.
reply
If they did I would sooner vote for Shit on a Bowl of Cornflakes than for Extent of the Universe.
reply
I don't really know why but I think this if the funniest and most awesome thing ever
reply
No need to ask why . . . AWESOME JUST IS!!!
reply
who the hell is this pinsir f@&got? Im pretty sure this kid actually takes it in the butt.
reply
just kidding pinsir

Damn its awesome i mean awsomoff's are happening all thanks to that so called universe and its ridiculously far boundaries.. if they exist. Pretty darn awesome... its should be disqualified actually for unfair advantage.
reply
I'm just not feeling "Extent of the Universe" this month. It seems to abstract, and as far as abstract concepts go, it's not even the most awesome. I'd vote for simple "infinity" or the Greek "Logos" over Extent of the Universe.
reply
I have to say, this is shaping up to be the very first month where I just can't agree with the winner. I've got to vote for Wonka, because really I just don't see the awesomeness of "Extent of the Universe". Why not just nominate "Everything" or "Awesomeness itself"? It's just way too removed from the reality of anything humans can fully comprehend, and doesn't have that extra little "oomph" that would make it truly awesome - like the Greek "Logos" would have.
I'm not trying to bash here, and I'm sorry if EofU is your type of awesome, but I find myself for the first time just going, "meh". Here's looking forward to August!
reply
What does the guy with the pimples have to do with the Extent of the Universe?
reply
His mind is being blown. Make sense?
reply
Oh, and fyi - I did a little research, and bacon can stay out for days because it is a 'cured meat'. So judge the Wake n Bacon not by the Botulism it creates!
reply
Bacon, well pork in general, is one of the worst meats for passing diseases to humans: the book of Leviticus is bang up-to-date when it comes to food hygeine. I'm not just talking heart disease due to the fat content, but skin parasites, cancer, and all sorts of nasty stuff.
reply
there is no better way to wake up the then to the smell of bacon
reply
Unless you're vegetarian.
reply
Wait, vegetarians can't even smell meat?
reply
Spoken like a true virgin.
reply
Except: to a beer maid.
