May 29, 2009

Jacques Munkey writes to us about National Soul Patch Day on May 29th. (I guess any buffoon can declare a National anything day on the internets.)

What is National Soul Patch Day? Well, besides the newest, best holiday, it is also a contest with real prizes (well, real t-shirts)!

The soul patch is the very foundation of unshaven awesome. That’s why it’s my choice for getting the most bang for my self-expression buck.
The time has come for everyone to experience this kind of cool. WonderGroup is declaring May 29th “National Soul Patch Day.” To inaugurate this auspicious day, we’re holding a Soul Patch Contest.

There’s not much time! Facial hair comes more slowly for some of us than for others. For more information, read The Soul Patch Contest Details. You can also follow Messr. Munkey on Twitter and Facebook.

Props To Cincinnati

Someone going by the name of Kutiman has sampled a bunch of individual Youtube videos of people playing music, rapping, etc. and mixed them together into a single amazing music video. Not only is the raw effort of finding, clipping, editing, and mixing all of this video astonishing, but the final product is good. It’s not just good, it’s, yes, super awesome.

So where does Cincinnati come into all this? In one of his videos (Video #3, “I’m New”), he uses a dude in a Cincinnati sweatshirt freestylin’ out. Sweet.

Watch that video below. Then go to THRU YOU to watch the rest.

Cincinnati’s Union Terminal Totally Looks Like The Justice League’s Hall of Justice

I’ll be damned. Considering that Union Terminal was built before the Justice League appeared, I’d say there’s a good chance DC based it on the current Museum Center. Pretty cool.

Cincinnati Oddities, The Coolest Website In The World

(In light of the confusion caused by the previous post’s ineffective use of the word lame to mean awesome, let’s try this again.)

Eliz. Lasky has started a blog about the strange and odd things in Cincinnati.

A website dedicated to weird things?! I literally could not think of any idea for a website that could be cooler. It should not be called Cincinnati Oddities. It should be called Cincinnati Super Awesomeness. The only thing more awesome than Cincinnati Oddities would be a website dedicated to weird things that’s been around a lot longer. Like years longer. Fortunately, there’s plenty of room in town for awesome weirdness.

Cincinnati Oddities

Because the beaten path is crowded and overpriced.
