The Idea of Cool


Nobody in this band really was that cool to begin with (possibly with the exception of Paul), so here's an outsider's view of what makes someone cool:

10. You wear clothes that went out of style 40 years ago. All the old people that used to wear the clothes and make them unpopular have died.

9. You never get caught in McDonald's, unless you're protesting.

8. Large sunglasses are a must. Large unusable glasses from the 1960's are even better.

7. You don't answer questions. You make statements, usually ending with a puff on your designer pipe that you bought from aborigines that you.

6. You play at least four instruments that nobody's ever heard of.

5. You wear a scarf in the heat of summer.

4. You scour the internet for obscure bands from other countries, and then rave about them to people you don't know.

3. If you ride a bicycle, you buy a new one-speed bike that looks exactly like a 1950's bike, and try to ride it while wearing a homemade skirt. (substitute designer skinny jeans if your a guy.)

2. You drive an electric car that you can't afford, and you're saving up to fly to Prague for a green conference. Approximate fuel used for your flight will equal 5 year's worth of gas for a Hummer.

1. You know you're cool, but would never admit it. That would somehow make you uncool.
