Geekboy and Ontartis stimulated this thought in another thread............. So............... What is COOL????? Cool is...................................................
Whatever you said in that other topic was kind of cool ... the Pubic Hair Stylist (can't remember the exact title )
Agreed. TBH i think good graphic designers are cool. I also think Zach Braff and Donald Faison is cool (Berry, you may be too old for this, google them).
Being the camera guy in a porn film is cool. - Long hard work and you go home really stiff afterwards!
LOL. What was the nickname I gave you again? Something like man of wisdom, or something? I take it back!
Tom, My eyesight isn't what it used to be does it say 'Giggle them?' Can you speak up! I can't hear you on my computer!

BREAKING NEWS FLASH!!! - Google hacked by Anarchists. All information rendered useless and void. Google to be replaced by books with really, really big writing. Satchels to carry these books are deemed Ultra Cool and the must have accessory. Dr Tam Benneton blamed for global information meltdown.
Cool is... Well there can be only one answer to that ... Joe Cool from the Peanuts Or the Fonz take your pick
Brands that make my life easier are cool in my world, Google & Apple... (It also helps they have enormous marketing and branding budgets to push it in my face!) As for people I think Will Smith is cool, every interview you hear from him he sounds down to earth.
Thought this might provoke some thought.... When I was at Music College one of my lecturers taught us about the circle of cool (beautifully illustrated above). What if someone is sooooo uncool they actually become REALLY FU*KING COOL. It works with loads of things cars, clothes, glasses... example: (which I doubt most will agree with) IMO, the old fiat panda is so uncool that it is actually really fucking cool! with it cordroy dash and boxy ugly shape. If you drove a beaten up old panda, with faded red paintwork and one door that's an odd colour to the beech with a surfboard on top in the summer, windows open and some good music playing on a portable cd player with little speakers plugged in (as you have no sterreo) you would be REALLY COOL. That guy that just parked next to you in his brand new ford focus playing Jack Johnson is going to show up as a poor imitation.
I remember Top Gears Cool Wall and Clarkson deciding where to put the new amazing GT40. He ws about to ut it in the sub zero cool when he changed his mind and put it the mass uncool cars. His reasoning was "Despite being a great car it can't be cool.....because I have one!"
