Cool? Me? No not at all. I I am the boring person who never says or does anything remotely interesting. On purpose.

Haha.

It has to do with who you're with and your own ideas of coolnees, I think. To a large percentage of the population, I am in no way "cool". I'd prefer the word eccentric myself. (To indicate my own defination of coolness, one of the coolest people I know once told me that she thought that it would be a good idea for one's brain to be a tape measure, so that you could use it in exams as a ruler).

As for me... I might be cool. I might not. Who knows?

Yeah, I'm cool, I have this thing where I fucking rule...and um, being cool is like only part of that, man. I also rock, which is also a part of the totally ruling thing.

I'm cool because I have so many more comics books and video games and...

Oh...

Wait...

That's not cool...

OH MY GHOD!! I'M A NERD!!

I'm too much of a geek at heart. So no. The guy I'm trying to shag at the moment is cool, too cool by far... *sigh*

No, and happy about it. Although I did once hear that being cool was not caring what people think about you, and I've totally got that down. Personally I've noticed being cool mostly involves practising a painfully blase facade to impress anyone who might be looking that you just don't give a shit and you're like the fonz you're so cool.

I do things to make me seem cool (fire staff, Tarot, witty conversation) but I am not cool myself.

Hmmm...cool, is such a broad term, really. In general, yeah, I'm cool, but lately my coolness has been at a low ebb.

BTW, it's possible to be a nerd or a geek and still be cool. "Uncool is the new cool." On the other hand, that quote came from a comic book. Then again, it was a cool comic... and so it goes.

The only thing I know for certain about coolness is this: if you're trying to be cool, you ain't cool.

Yeah, I mean, have you guys neve heard of this 'geek chic' business? It's an absolute lifesaver.

I'm cool as fuck, by the way.

But then, that's only because I decide my own subjective standard for what constitutes "cool" and I'm pretty sure that if I met myself I'd think I was cool.

Where my coolness stands in the eyes of the rest of the world, I neither know nor care.

Cool as Ice. Vanilla Ice, unfortunately, but it's a process, you know...

I used to be as cool as a dropped '99 after three hours of direct sunlight. With flake of course.

Polar bears come and rub their noses against me. I have tiny tiny penguins living in my tear ducts. In Summer I shrink by several inches, only to put on weight dramatically with the Autumn. I was briefly banned from South West Trains because my presence causes ice on the rails, but later asked if I would mind sitting in First Class on hot days as a way of saving money on air conditioning. Many species of migrant bird roost on me from March to October, then fly South and return the following year early, so as to get the best nesting sites on the upper reaches of my eyebrows.

No. I'm not cool.

Mordant C@rnival: Well, by "cool", we mean "totally sweet".

are you a mammal?

my girlfriend's a penguin, and thus not a mammal, and thus not a ninja. therefore, it's highly likely that she is, in fact, a pirate.

I'm immediately forced to consider the possibility that your girlfriend the pirate lives in my tear ducts.

Which would explain a lot.

I have a problem in which I'm too cool for school, but not cool enough for other things...

I am so uncool it hurts. I'm 25 for christs sake, but i still get excited when i see a supremely evil metal t-shirt from a supremely evil metal band. I also like Pokemon.

Mazarine

10:39 / 06.06.03

No. I am far too maternal to be cool. And my hair is an absolute disaster.

Sudden change! My situation has shifted so that while I may still not be cool, I'm ginchy! Ginchy I say!!

Well, let's see:

I'm a climber -- advantage : cool
I wear sandals with socks -- advantage : uncool
I'm well traveled -- advantage : cool
I'm a geek -- advantage : uncool
I'm gorgeous -- advantage : cool
Okay, well, maybe not -- advantage : uncool

Conclusion: I am decidedly lukewarm.

God, I'm really surprised that so many of you really truly believe yourselves not to be cool. You all really need to start defining cool on your own terms. Flyboy's definitely got it right.

Although, hey, a lot of you may be absolutely correct about yourselves.

No. I was, once upon a time.

But I am now hot, hot, hot! I am what is known on Amurrican porn sites as a "hottie".

I'm just so totally cool, as long as you ignore the fact that nowadays my wife pretty much chooses the contents of my wardrobe.

This is what makes me cool :

I make a mean cup of tea.
I have had the same friends for 20 years.
I will still have these friends in 20 years' time.
When I can, I play all day with my 11 month old son.
I'm never rude to people. Never.
I make a fucking great cup of tea.

Is that cool, then, or what?

Saint Keggers
