Sometimes the simple solutions are the best ones. While the best solutions are sometimes the [[Boring but Practical|boring ones]], occasionally they achieve a sort of elegance that keeps them from being dull. While lacking the over-the-top badassery and flashy visual effects that would make it [[Awesome Yet Practical]], their very simplicity gives them a sort of awesomeness all their own.

While other things come and go, things that are '''Simple Yet Awesome''' endure. |
