Why should we have to try and be 'cool? Who are other people to tell us whether we are 'cool' or not? I say sucks to that Fritzy! Post your 'uncool' practices and stand up and be counted as an individual! Huzzah!

I'm sorry guys but I don't need no smuck to tell me if I'm cool or not. I was born cool
1) I'm cool when Im sleeping and drooling all over the pillow
2) I'm cool when I push out my stomach and scream at my naked self in the mirror
3) I'm cool hanging around 10-20 forums each day
4) I'm cool wearing my 7 year old red wing work boots while everyone else wears expensive nike sports shoes
5) I'm cool even when Im walking down the street in some ugly looking slippers and wearing bermuda shorts.
6) I'm cool because I don't use no bloody nokias
7) I'm just cool doing everything. BE LIKE ME

@lor
I'm not sure about being 'cool', but you definitely fit into the 'uncool' group here.
Welcome aboard!

welcome lor! grace these uncool pages with pride.
we are discussing coolness as perceived by others, not whether you are cool within yourself. it's all about your frame of reference. none of those things are "cool" to an outside observer, and expounding how cool you think you are negates any and all residual cool you may naturally accumulate. however, that has nothing whatsoever to do with how happy you are in your own skin or pride in not conforming to accepted social "norms".
the fact that i am able to delineate the bounds of this thread in itself is uncool, although i may think otherwise.
other examples of my "uncoolness" (some repeated from the "Cool Wall" thread):
i prefer music that requires an actual living person to play an instrument and sing rather than a computer program and digital voice enhancement.
i like to read actual books.
i enjoy board games and card games.
i am an occasional role-player.
i am not afraid to admit i have an education.
i work as an engineer.
i like gadgets.
i think the pursuit of cool is a self-defeating exercise.
i prefer the company of friends and good conversation to nightclubs and loud music.

@gelfen
I also prefer the company of friends to sitting in a nightclub having my eardrums punctured.
I enjoy dinner parties.
I enjoy medieval palaeography as a hobby.
I have friends who e-mail one another in Latin.
I prefer sitting down to a meal and using cutlery as opposed to shoveling a greasy chunk of chemicals, with some meat added, sandwiched between two soggy buns, into my mouth.
I enjoy sipping an alcoholic beverage whilst having an interesting conversation with someone, rather than gripping the glass in my teeth and wolfing as much of it down in as short a time as possible.

Well, you're right there. No one has the right to deem another cool or uncool. So what if a person likes to read star wars novels or speak in klingon on weekends...
Pisses me off to see the so called popular crowd determining what's cool and what's non.
Ok, let's see
1)I like gadgets as well (WISH I COULD AFFORD THEM ALL)
2)I actually read books (TONS OF EM)
3)I read manuals not because I have to but because I like to
4)Im in front of a computer almost 14-18 hours a day and I'm not playing games or just chatting
5)I can assemble a computer from scratch without looking at any manuals
6)I also prefer quiet gatherings to bloody loud club music
7)I play a lot of games and I role play as well (ON WEEKENDS)
I have a ton of anime
9)I've had computers since 1984 till present
10)I wear clean underwear everyday

@lor: i actually think number 5 is pretty cool
i collect miniature pewter fantasy sculptures, including Lord of The Rings goblets, shot glasses and chess set.
i read lord of the rings BEFORE the movies were made.
i think Friends and Seinfeld are grossly over-rated.
