I finally understand what it takes to be cool, and it's all so simple.

1) State you are cool.
2) Get someone else to state you are cool to people who haven't heard you state you are cool.
3) State to the people that have heard you were cool, but haven't heard YOU say you were cool, that you are cool.
4) Start a fan club.

It's just that simple.

It seems to me that you can skip steps 1 and 3 if you have enough 2 going on.

It does no good having people think you might be cool, if you never throw it in their face, to reassure them that if they think otherwise, they are wrong. People need reassurance, Tom.

Tom understands that if you're cool enough, you don't need to state it.

Exactly my point. Since when have I ever actually been cool?

This is just a nice fancy way to sidestep the whole actually being cool bit.

Actually, you're on the road. Being cool takes, more than anything, a large dollop of self-confidence and a knowledge of when to give attention and when to withhold it.

Worked out well, you can rule like the Doge.

Not sure I can jump right on the T_is_cool bandwagon. Somehow I feel a bit reticent. Now why would that be, I wonder....

It's all about acting like everyone else should already know you're cool.

See, this is the secret to playing the 'Rack, as taught to me by the eminent example of Mistress Ralphie.

P.S. This also works for sexy.

We could have a concert to raise money to pay for advertising that T is cool. We would call it Cool-Aid.

T is so cool, he's HOT!

You forgot one rule though. You have to be known by one name or just an initial (like T). Or be known as "The _____" whatever your name is.

Like "The Bob."

I'm a bit busy with my own club right now, but I'll join yours sometime when I'm less busy, T.

Or I may just go wash my hair. Gotta love that "organic experience."

Does getting a phone number and having her tell me that she was "Glad she caught me to give me her number" that that she "most definately wanted to do something sometime" count for anything, celia?

You mean thats not the point, well so much for my vestige of a life. This actully calling people up sounds like a far to much work, boasting about it omline can be done without getting up.

If I were to imagine T with writing on his butt, I think it would more likely say something like "This is my butt" than "I am cool."
