We've had the uncool thread, so what makes you cool?

Air conditioning.

Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.

Air conditioning.
Ice cubes stuffed down the front of my underwear.
Oh, yeah, that's brisk. Oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah . . .

Er, ahem. Sorry, I didn't mean to keep typing what I was thinking, it just sort of all came out.

Making fun of everyone else on this forum.

It's Fall, nights are chilly, days are cool. Snow's coming. I'm cool.

Smoking, clearly.

Hookahs

Hookahs

Very true, I love hookah

My body temperature averages a cool 97.1F rather than the 98.6F of the majority of people.

My body temperature is measured in metric you ningcompoop.

In terms of cool; I just need an open window to make me cool. Being serious though, absobloodylutely nothing of mine makes me cool.

One of the great things about working with young children is that you are always cool to them, even when they claim to hate you. You're twice as tall as they are, you wield the ultimate authority over snack time, and you can read. And sometimes you have Batman stickers. Uber cool.

Plus, you can smoke.

I can! But I actually can't. :/ I had to stop when I started teaching. Not that I was ever a smoker, exactly, but... okay, no, working at a newspaper made me a smoker. But little kids, and more importantly their grown-up handlers, can smell smoke on you, and the latter do not find it cool. :(

My job makes me smoke. It's the long periods of time doing fuck all waiting for an emergency. Eventually, you need a smoke.

It simply seems to be my natural state of being, little I can do about it even if I wanted to.

Figure Skating is a very good way to keep cool.

Solid gold fridge

what makes you cool?
High speed with the top down on an early winter morning.

My underground death metal fridge magnets, as well as my deejaying skills.

A thin layer of mud. *nod*

Hookers and blow

Just being me, folks, just being me.

Not everyone of us is as blessed by nature as you, Katganistan.

My massive penis.

Getting smashed every weekend mane!!!! :rolleyes:

(I must be getting old when I no longer find this cool)

storing my underpants in the fridge.

The esteem of others.

The fact that I am so epically an uberloser and social failure means that when people draw a cool/uncool diagram I go so far to the extreme on the uncool scale that to plot my position on the graph requires the line to come right round the world, meaning that I end up in the cool section from going right back round:p

The esteem of others.

Wow, you must be really cool then.

The fact that I am, yup. That makes me cool. :tongue:

Kat beat you to it.

Kat beat you to it.

So? <.<

So? <.<

My answer was better.

My answer was better.

I will not feed your ginormous ego, dear Rhyno.




But yes, your answers are awesome.:tongue:

That's because I'm awesome.

Right-o...

The air condition is blowing in the studio 24/7. That keeps me pretty cool...



Ok ok, serious answer? I have no freaking idea why so many people consider me cool. I do all the things that are construed as NOT COOL. Maybe its the same reason as DI?

My massive penis.You misquoted me.
I said, "freakishly huge", not "massive".

I own two BMWs, obviously this makes me cool.

The fact that I don't give a shit about being cool? Either that or this makes me uncool... meh.

The esteem of others.
That's not esteem you're getting off others, my dear Fass, it's contempt mixed with a dash of pity, a pinch of disgust and a good serving of ridicule.
It's easy to get the two confused.

My Hugo Boss trousers makes my ass really cool ;)

I know Linux and a number of programming languages, listen to strange music and am a conlanger. That makes me cool (or nerdy, I use these terms pretty synonymously).

My flares, tank top and medallion.

My searing wit and bad spieling!

Smoking is definatly cool.

The way you walk down the street with a cigarette in your hand and everyone gives you dirty looks yet you know (Or want to think) they're telling themselves; "Wow, that guy is cool".

My job makes me smoke because I sit down at a computer all day working on web design. The tiredness just calls for caffeine and nicotine.

The flamethrower I carry around with me all day allows me to ensure that I am far cooler (as well as less on fire) than anyone who gives me any trouble.

My damned good looks, of course. ;)

Oh, and I second smoking. As I always tell my teenage siblings, smoking is a very cool thing to do.

I totally agree, and the only reason I don't smoke is because I have a history of high blood pressure going back several generations on both sides of my family.

I have severe asthma but I still smoke, and so did all of my family. But I think smoking in itself is only cool because of how it used to be advertised and how people see it, it's not cool itself because well, it kills you. You also feel disgusted in yourself as you root through the ashtray forging yourself a throw me down cigarette when in desperate need.

As cool as smoking is, don't do it kids.

It's really not as bad as all that. I only ever smoked one a day, two a day like, once a month. But that's because I have good self-control, and more importantly I probably don't have the smoking gene (http://www.apa.org/releases/smoke99.html).

So if you have the smoking gene, don't smoke, because it's harder to quit.

I miss smoking, though. It did make me feel cool. And it's kind of a social thing because when you're all standing around smoking together you have fun conversations.

I haven't actually heard of this smoking gene until now, it seems quite quixotic, but I'm on about 20 - 25 a day, unless I'm drinking, and then it's more like 40, but drinking is a rare privelage nowadays.

And yes, the social aspect of smoking is great, like here in England smoking has been illegalised in public places (Clubs, Pubs etc.) so everyone gathers outside to smoke and you meet loads of new people that way.

Two of my best mates i met when one of them asked me for a lighter, and the other asked for a cigarette, it's great.

Also, *snip* This is now a "how awesome smoking is" thread.

the fact that i dont give a fling fuck about what anyone says about me

It's easy to get the two confused.

Sort of like you get yourself confused with people.

I have a pick-up truck with a gun rack in it(and a gun in the gun rack, that's important, otherwise, what's the point?)

I have a front porch where I can sit, prop my feet on the rail and drink beer and smoke cigars. Apropos of that...I can crush a beer can on my head

I can win a fight (most of the time...no-one wins all of them)

There´s a smoking gene?!:confused:

See my post.

Paraphrased: if you have this gene on one side you are like, 20% more likely to smoke and less likely to quit. If you have it both sides it's somewhere around 80% or summat like that (forgive me if the numbers are off, it's been a while since I've actually read the article).

Yeah, go go internet badass!

nope that's never happened. Sometimes I might get myself confused by people, by never with.
Oh wait, there was that one time when a group of us all got confused together. So I guess I have gotten myself confused with people.
my apologies. I stand corrected. Well, more of a slouch corrected really.

My air conditioner

The serial killer murdered me by locking me up in a walk-in freezer.

My real name is Snake Pliskin, this makes me the coolest of the cool folk. *nod*

Ahem.
Knock off the personal attacks.

It's got nothing to do with being an 'internet badass', whatever that is. Which, now that I think of it, would probably involve having flames detailed on your laptop, or maybe a tattoo that says 'Born To Be Wired.'(unless you are Japanese, in which case you are back to 'Born To Be Wiled', by a sort of roundabout way)

All I was doing was listing the things I think make me cool, like the original question asked. If I inadvertently kicked your insecurities into gear, rest assured it was not my intention.

Ice.
