Your ride to the moon tower

August 18th, 2008 by Mike Nelson · 25 Comments

matthew mcconaughey hook em hornsMatthew “Sahara” McConaughey (pictured*) is auctioning a few items off on eBay. Among them, his Commemorative Texas Longhorn National Championship Motorcycle. (Yes, to answer your question, there really is such a thing.)

His reason for selling? The June bug welts on his chest were too frequent and too painful. He briefly considered wearing a shirt while riding but dismissed it when he remembered that shirts are for non-awesome dudes.

*Though attending a Texas Longhorns’ game, contrary to what you might think Matthew is not signing “hook ‘em horns” but rather is preparing for that night’s Dave Matthews concert.

    Riding a motorcycle with a shirt makes a person not awesome? I’d better inform the local motorcycle gang of this…

    it appears he is paying homage to the black forces that enabled him to have a career, and to breed.

    Somebody should have helped poor Matt out and turned him around, pointing out to him that the field is behind him.

    “Matthew, the game is going on in the other direction, man.”

    “Beef!!! It’s what’s fer dinner!!! Wooo!!!”

    Looks like he’s about to get hit by a car from space. Or maybe he’s the goalpost in a game of Dorito football.

    I thought that preparing for a Dave Matthews Band concert involved a lot more pot than seems to be depicted… although upon closer inspection of the facial expression of the McConaughey-creature (not something one should attempt on a full stomach) one must assume that the doobage is just off-camera and that there is indeed a LOT of it.

    He had to get rid of his bike because they’re raising emission standards in the land of lean beef.

    Just caught him in Tropical Thunder. It was pretty good, but he was much better in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4

    I will just take your word for that.

    Seriously; somehow he managed to play a deranged, murderous, possibly inbred redneck wrecker driver almost perfectly!

    From reading the headline I thought someone was sending McConaughey to the moon… That was a happy thought.

    Hey suzanne…McConaughey…Isn’t that a division in the whole state quarters thingy?

    Cruel? Perhaps.

    Funny? Not really, no.

    He’s obviously doing shadow puppets what with those spotlights behind. The McConaughey cannot resist.

    No, he is rehearsing a scene from the new remake of The Giant Spider Invasion. In this scene, he is celebrating not getting killed in a car crash and seconds later he is put up the giant spider’s butt.

    Yeah, it seems rural Wisconsin and rural Texas are disturbingly similar.

    In the immortal words of rifftrax-”who wants to scale mount mcconaghey” & “lookit my chilsed arms!” best lines ever! (it was from that dragon movie-ring of fire? or something)

    another option for his face is “I, like, so, rock!”
    plus he’s got this boyish charm. something about the hair. mmmm…hair.

    According to IMDB, Matthew “doesn’t wear deodorant or cologne.”

    Bravo on not wearing cologne, but no deodorant?

    Can you see the stink lines creeping out from under his leather jacket? I bet he smells like an Italian hoagie.
