Things that aren't cool

[Bluetonic]

I was in college earlier, sipping a Capri-Sun, when I realised that there is no way anybody drinking said beverage could look cool in anyway. Firstly, the drinks shape and packaging is notoriously ugly, and it has always seemed like a child's drink.

Following on from this I thought of other things that will never be cool -

- Posting on an internet forum

- Owning a pair of Chinos

- Listening to Shed Seven

- Boasting about either drinking too much at the weekend and what you got up to, or perhaps even more boringly, talking about why you don't drink or take drugs.

- Having a hamster as a pet.

Any more?

 

[Cricko]

Having Callan as a Mate ....:p

Oh and being called Stringfellow ..

Kiss and tell stories...

 

[OldBlueLady]

Hmmm - must make me very uncool then.

Which of the crimes are you guilty of?

Which of the crimes are you guilty of?

Now that would be telling! I don't own any chinos so that's a plus, but we do have 2 hamsters, the rest I shall keep under wraps.

Complaining about people smoking

Vomiting

Shouting "Oi oi!" at women from a passing car

Buses

Black denim jeans

Playing the guitar and whistling because you know that if you sing, you'll lose the beat and miss a chord.

Quoting Eddie Murphy/Chris Rock/Richard Pryor in a 'black voice'

Quoting Bill Hicks in an American slacker voice

Impressions of Alan Hansen that are basically you saying, "Diabolical," but really slowly as if your batteries are running out

Mint Imperials

Heat Magazine



So many of the above are in my top ten favourite things. It's really quite depressing.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Well according to Slipperduke I'm not cool! :hilarious:

Oh, neither am I. As I say, there's very little on that list that I haven't embraced at one point or another!

*looks at bookcase packed with Pratchett, Tolkien, K Dick and Rothmans Football Annuals*

*looks at CD collection packed with Iron Maiden*

*looks in mirror*

Nope. No cool points here!

 

[Lester Bangs]

Playing MMORPGS like World of Warcraft or Everquest 2, reading your guild website during your lunchtime at exactly the same time the office honey walks past.

'No really love, I like women , football and beer. Not geeky stuff like online games.'

(This may have happened to me this week)

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

- Listening to Shed Seven

What about playing football with Shed Seven?

the daily mail

You can definitely look cool skiing.

even the first result on youtube!

I reckon the mail has almost gone so far in the wrong direction that it may look cool.

Capri-sun will never look cool - good shout.

****ting your pants at a wedding/funeral/bar mitzvah.

Or reserve game.

Tell me the story.

It's a lovely warm place isn't it.

Can I add, owning and listening to Marillion.

 

[Bluetonic]

Also, new thing - being Chris Moyles.

When I started reading this thread, I relly hope Slipper had seen it and posted already, I am very glad I have not been disappointed

Agree with all of those except the last two. Most religion isn't cool, except for mine. And I read the Mail on Tuesdays and Fridays for Littlejohn because he's the bollocks. And I reckon my friendly relationship with stereoscene may be done!
