If I had tattoos, would I be cool? What kind of tattoos do I have to get to be cool? Do they have to be original, or can I just pick one off the wall at the tattoo shop? Do I have to get more than one? Maybe if I get a tattoo I'll be cool. If I had a lot of gold jewelry, would I be cool? I mean, obviously, if I have a large obnoxious gold necklace or watch, it shows all the people around me that I have a lot of money. That means I'm cool, right? If I had piercing, would I be cool? If I got something pierced, it shows how much I don't follow mainstream fashion trends - that I'm a person who wants to express himself and show who I am? Wouldn't that make me cool? What if I wore baggy clothes and a tank undershirt. I see a lot of cool people wearing them - maybe I should, too. Would that make me cool? Or is it my strength and my muscles? If I hang out with a group of guys and and we can beat people up, I'd definitely be cool then, right? And I see all these cool people smoking weed and doing other drugs. Snoop Dogg does it, so it must be cool. It also looks like I need to spend a lot of money on elaborate cell phones, expensive cars, and stuff like that. Chicks dig that. I can just put all that on my credit cards. And being a pimp is cool. Actually, I don't think most pimps today are really true pimps - I think it's now just a phrase to describe an extravagant ghetto appearance. I don't think I really have to control some prostitutes in order to be a pimp, so I think I'll do that so that I can be cool. Hmm.... shopping list for being cool... 1. tattoos 2. piercings 3. baggy clothes & tank shirt (or no shirt) 4. Work out and practice in the mirror some "tough guy" looks 5. Abuse drugs and alcohol 6. Waste money on stupid stuff 7. be a 'pimp' Am I missing anything? -- droxford
No. I was reading the Indian rapper thread and, honsetly, I'm just fed up with this stupid BS image. -- droxford
Plus, you have to get it on like all the time. And have a cell phone on you wherever you go. And make sure it rings at least once every 15 minutes.
Oh yeah - forgot the swords. If I had some of those, and took some pictures in front of my parents' suburban home... that'd look REALLY tough. -- droxford
Get two or three Bushmaster M4's with telescoping stock, and flashhider to hang on your walls. Make sure to add a cool bayonet on the lug, ... Sponge paint the walls camo paint, and hang barb wire on the top like wallpaperborder on the top area... Keep at least 2,000 rounds at all times...(and at least 8 of the 30 rd. magazines) You can get a crate of authentic military M855 green tip ball ammo at: www.cabelas.com That's the ticket
Watch it guys...don't make fun of the OCP Word around here is that they're hardcore. They might just kick your ass for talking some smack!!!
How about some nun-chuck skills, some bow hunting skills, and some computer hacking skills? Girls only like guys with skills....
I see from your profile that you're 35-36. What did you do/look did you go for when you were in high school/college?
Wow, this thread is exactly like the season 3 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer "The Zeppo". As that taught us, the way to become cool is kill zombies and have sex with Eliza Dushku.
Drox, if you have to start a thread on a BBS in order to define what is cool, you will never be cool. It's best that you immediately go to WalMart for your pair of horn rimmed Buddy Holly glasses, and then on to Home Depot for the duck tape that goes on the nosebridge.
I didn't go for any look, nor did I do anything specific in order to try to fit in. I didn't buy the trendy clothes (back then it was easier to be cool - just buy some parachute pants and a Members Only jacket), I didn't go out of my way to try to hang with the 'cool' people, I didn't break dance... but I also wasn't a geek or a rebel. I was just me. (it's a sarcastic thread, RMT). I think I'm automatically disqualified from being cool because I wear my undershirts under my shirts, I have a full time job, I'm married and have a kid, we own a house, I conserve my spending... It's not cool to be responsible. -- droxford
I know. Just funnin' ya. I'm so uncool I have to play live music in order to get my coolness quotient back to break-even.
I'm living proof that playing music does not make you cool. In my case, it only makes you slighty less of a dork. Slightly.
