36. Tell your teen you used to be cool
until you had to listen to him/her blather incessantly about how cool s/he is, and that bled all your coolness off.

9. I'm the uncoolest individual on the planet.
I used to try to be cool, but it was like a donkey trying to be an elephant. People began to like me a lot better when I stopped trying to be cool and was just myself.

44. I agree in your case
However I know uncool people screaming at complete strangers in German regularly . The ones I've met during my physical examination even did a few things far more unpleasant than padding to me...

39. I'm anti-cool too.
In terms of style, if I were a literary character, I'd be Cayce Pollard from _Pattern Recognition_ (William Gibson). If I owned a Dremel tool, I'd be sitting here filing the logos off my jean buttons right now. :)

Actually, I'm so anti-cool, I'm usually about 6 months ahead of the trends. I pick something up, then everyone else discovers it, at which point I drop it and find something else. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Therefore, I voted "uncool." Just ask the Kool Kids at my high school, if you can get a time machine and go back 10 years! :)

28. It's hard work being UN COOL...all you have to do to be cool is spout
a popular mantra whereas being UN COOL requires a mantra all your own?? I have been UN COOL since my teens...though I do admit I had a lapse at one time and entered the COOL world...man it felt icky...like you could not disagree with the COOLEST of the COOL...even when they were total idiots. I quite being COOL real quick. I never bought the latest fashions and I recall about 1960 putting on a LONG skirt (mid shin-minis were all the rage) and thinking how much I liked it.

I did do COOL things like quit wearing a bra during the 60's etc, but not because it was COOL, but because my back has always been fleshy and the bra always put an indentation in my back??? I hated bras from the time I was FORCED to wear one till I trashed mine in the 60's never to wear one again...except under very strict requirements (white blouse)

30. As I get older, my coolness has increased.
Considering where it started, there was no place to go but up. Of course, I could just be more delusional now than I used to be.

That puts people at ease, which is necessary when you are intimidating in stature and are scary looking (I'll post a pic sometime).

I'm such a natural dork, I bring out the inner dork in people. Its a good thing, kids love dorks.

Very un-cool.:silly:

How would I answer if only given the two choices...I just don't know. Sometimes I act like like a complete dork, other times pretty cool, I know it can't be 50/50 but it's awfully close.


Woof.

52. I am the "cool" version of uncool.
I may be a dork, but I display lots of confidence in myself, and also I'm not particularly ugly. The goatee helps me look a little more trendy. Well, at least before I shaved it off.;-) I'm like one of those uncool guys who you see and think, "well, he's not cool, but he's no less than most folks."

My voice makes me sound like a dork, mostly.
