I'm not really that cool, but at times I'd like to be...

How are you cool, and can others do what you do to be cool?

It's 82 in my office, but 65 outside. So your answer is not me.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I think peeing your pants can be cool, if you do it confidently and rebelliously. It seems like it would be very convenient.

Especially if you're a Brewers' fan....

They're a game and a half behind the Cubs, with a month to go. Will there be soiled undergarments in Milwaukee?

Will the moist crotched fans throw the peepeepants on the field when there's a home run? That would be cool.

My daughter thinks I'm cool. Not sure how long it will last though. My wife thinks I'm cool, so that's good enough for me.

Homer: So I realized that being with my family is more important
than being cool.
Bart: Dad, what you just said was powerfully uncool.
Homer: You know what the song says: "It's hip to be square."
Lisa: That song is so lame.
Homer: So lame that it's... cool?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Am I cool, kids?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool—not caring, right?
Bart and Lisa: No.
Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we've tried
everything here.
Homer: Wait, Marge. Maybe if you're truly cool, you don't need to
be told you're cool.
Bart: Well, sure you do.
Lisa: How else would you know?

I wear cardigans
Peter... umm... you should be wearing manigans, not cardigans, eek.

Beatles: Only a fool plays it cool by making their world a little colder
I used to live in the South west.. did the whole surfer 'cool' thing, now I'm a bona fidee designer living in Hoxton Square, I think I'm chasing cool, which isn't particularly cool, but maybe it's kinda cool, who knows, ummm, it's cool though, I don't mind not being cool if it's cool with you?

Heads turn when I'm walking or jumping around. Women can't stop staring at my chest, eyes, crotch and ass. Guys want to be me. They want to do what I do. They want to kill mushroom people.



And my house doesn't get robbed

Even though I have never met Doofy, I always imagined him as cool. He's the kind of guy that would drive around with a guitar connected to the cigarette lighter of his car (probably a Dodge Stratus), and when he gets a speeding ticket he would call the cop a hippy while he shreds this crazy guitar lick.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.

Within the past four months I have grown a full on handlebar mustache. I recently shaved my beard into a goatee and muttonchops. I swear If I applied to work for Scotland Yard, they'd take me in a heartbeat.

Oh, and besson3c is cool too.

Handlebar mustaches are the epitome of cool, and thanks for your support of my coolness. Your support makes me cooler. My strategy to achieve coolness is to be so uncool that I'm actually cool, so this has helped!

Mind you, I'm not as cool as Doofy's cigarette lighter guitar Dodge Stratus setup, I'm a different kind of cool... A different species. If you don't like me you are a racist.
