Why are you cool? - Page 7

Catwoman · 05-04-2004, 08:05 AM

I suppose I could be considered

because I:

- make adverts
- play jazz/blues guitar/piano
- street dance
- read The Guardian (edgy but pretentious Brit paper for trendsetting media types)
- drive a ferrari*

*that was a lie. But I do have a friend with a mini van....

I'm cool because :
- I was never drunk in my life (24 years alcool-free)
- I live in the richest country of the world and only have a Nissan Primera 96
- I actually have NATO Security Clearance
- I run a semi-marathon in 1h37 and still swim 400m under 8min
- I used SPSS (and understood what I was doing)
- I speak 5 languages fluently
- and I do understand women

People are constantly asking me what makes me so damn cool. I usually reply by doing that about-to-shake-your-hand-but-fake-you-out-at-the-last-second-by-fixing-my-hair bit. Oh yeah. I'm so cool that it hurts. No, really... it does. Ouch.

Well, I guess I can come up with a few reasons:

I'm married to a babe.
I appeared briefly in the movie Footloose.
I've owned some fine high-powered automobiles, most recently a supercharged 2000 Camaro SS (sniff).
I create computer graphics for a living (though this is a recent change from programming).
I CAN believe it's not butter.
I had one of my photos published on the front page of a metropolitan newspaper, above the fold, about 8x10.
I can burp louder than jinx. WAY louder than Lumberjim.
I can drink an enormous amount of alcohol without being affected (ask me about the only time I ever got drunk).
...and many other reasons I am not at liberty to disclose.

See? Did I tell you or did I tell you?

Pi dude, aren't you meant to be assassinating 3rd world dicatators and recovering nuclear weapons somewhere?

russotto · 05-04-2004, 01:49 PM

Well, we've already esablished in the other thread that I'm not cool. But here's some mitigating factors

- I drive a Miata
- I <strike>can</strike>could skate fast (damned injury)
- Have met Benoit Mandelbrot and Sergei Brin (on separate occasions) (OK, this is only geek-cool, not real cool)
- I can fake statistics in Igor way better than you guys can in SPSS, despite Igor being totally outclassed :-)

Jag, sorry I can't tell you otherwise I'd have to kill you

you only THINK you have clearance.

Kind of like how you guys only THINK you know what's going on?

Hey! You guys remember how Nixon got his security clearance cancelled one summer by some wise-ass kid? Could happen to anybody - even you!

Well, I'm cool because I'm multi-talented: I can draw, paint, sing, play keyboard, bass, & sax, make crafts (jewelry & hair accessories); I foster kittens. And I'm ambidextrious.

And I'm fair...which is why I am now going to the topic "why aren't you cool?" so I can list all my dorky qualities. And man, do I have them.

Would it be churlish of me to call you a bitch at this juncture?

Tornado · 05-09-2004, 04:36 PM

Uh, I suppose if you really thought it necessary to call me a bitch, then sure...go for it, LOL.
