Your Coolness Quotient
 

Wanna find out how cool you are?

This is a game I came up with on the Harley forum, where it's important to be cool.

Here's how it works:

1. We all come up with rules and assign values to them
2. After we have a good long list of rules, we score ourselves honestly and post our quotient
3. Max value for a rule is +100, min is -100
4. Repeated rules will be averaged.
5. No arguing over values. If you don't like a rule or a value, repeat the rule and give it your own value.
6. You can only post a rule once per person. (no posting 10 times for the same rule in order to tilt the scales)


OK?

+10 for having facial hair
-50 for driving a minivan
+25 for having a tattoo
+5 for each additional tattoo
-50 for frosted hair (male)
-75 for a man bun
-13 for being left handed

get creative. when we tire of writing rules and bullshitting, I will ask for a volunteer that has time to compile the list of rules, work out the averages and post the scoring system. Then we'll find out who is the coolest of the cool!

I bet it will be bruce

(no wagering. this is for entertainment porpoises only)

You lose 2 Cellar Gold bitcoins. I don't even have a reference for this "cool" you speak off, although I have been called cold.

I see what you did there.

You could have just said +50 for driving a minivan, but you knew that would be too obvious. Clever girl

Plus 500 for having a job.

+69 if you're a lady in public and a slut in the bedroom.

Oh no no, because I don't think driving a minivan makes you cool. Actually, I think wanting to drive a cool car makes one uncool, because vehicles are way overrated. But minivans aren't inherently cool.

On the other hand, I've expressed my distaste for facial hair many times. The number of millimeters of facial hair a man has is directly proportional to my Kinsey Number.

:lol:

+10 for every millimetre of facial hair

Girl, you are so out of luck for the next few years. Even Prince Harry has a beard.

- 1000 for attacking someone else's list.

Can we decide on a time to finalize the list, then make an easy way to just go down the list and check off the ones that pertain and get a tallied score at the end?

Isn't that what computers are for?

How can we do that?

I'd really like to help; but, I'm busy singing Danke Schoen and then it'll be Twist and Shout. Maybe one of the spectators ...

Tim? Is that you?

+59 if you've ever sold anything you made, played or wrote

-75 if you refer to yourself as mom or dad (or local equivalent) in terms of your pet
-50 if you have a dealer license plate frame on your car (dealer employees excepted)
+26 if you walk in a nature environment for pleasure more than once a month

-10 for not reading the rules of this game, and awarding more than 100 or less than - 100

+100 for compiling the score into point averaged values(duplicate rules as per the OP) , then listing them in rows, in order of appearance in a single post, thereby making it easy to quote, and fill in our own scores and post our total coolness quotient.

+20 if the most used car you own is a hybrid
+50 if the most used car you own is an electric car
+100 if you don't own a car and do your errands by walking, horse(-drawn) or public transport

Too soon.
