Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces. They formed a band, the likes of which have never been seen
And They Called Themselves Tenacious D

Every once in a while, you'll stumble across something so beautiful, so sublime that your jaw hits the floor and you are too stunned for words.

Yes, of course, there is natural beauty, which has been well-documented on this website. I am living in a treasure-trove of natural beauty, and I am floored nearly every day by the things I see.

But every so often, a man-made work will produce the same effect. I am sure we have all experienced such things. Maybe a painting, a piece of music or a book so moved you that it causes you to contemplate whether the Hand of God was involved in the creation. You become rapt with wonder that such a thing was created by human hands.

Sometimes the sheer ambition that goes into such a creation is beyond the ken of mortal man. It shakes the very foundation of your belief system and makes you feel Anything Is Possible.

I have had such an experience today. Except it was not a work of art, music or literature.

It was a sandwich I read about on the internet.

A 30,000 calorie sandwich.

There are no words. Only tears, and awestruck wonder.

This kid deserves a Nobel Prize, an Oscar and a Purple Heart, all rolled up into one, disgusting sandwich.

Here it is, in all its Glory. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

How could a year have passed without the universe somehow notifying you of this sandwich? A year dude!!

Or were you keeping it all to yourself?

Antuan, Ashton... hello.

I think what struck me was the kid's expressions in the pictures.

Also that his parents' supported his endeavor. Dad even suggested he bread and deep fry the meat.

Now that is love.

If only every kid had that kind of parental support...

Also- you gotta love this statement-

"I can top this guy - he didn't fry anything!"

As well as "You're making Baby Jesus cry."

I need an intern, Kramerica-style. I wanna hire this kid.

Uh, Michigan State guy?

I think your "hero," Griff, is the one who ripped it off.

Look at the time stamps on the pictures. He lifted them right off that kid's website. His post at your Michigan State board was much later than this kid's website.
