agree with most of them

number 1: Funny Ringtones

WHY YOU THINK YOU?RE COOL: A ring tone is a great way to give strangers and coworkers a little peek into your personal life and let them know that your grasp of pop culture is vast. You?re pretty sure that having a silly quote from Monty Python or the Transformers theme song as your ringtone will make those around you realize that you are a the guy everyone else wants to be. There is definitely more to you than meets the eye.

WHY YOU?RE NOT COOL: Having your phone play Right Said Fred?s ?I?m Too Sexy? just makes you look (and sound) like an asshole. And the fact that you let it ?ring? 15 times while you stand there and look around for reactions to your hilarious little joke not only reeks of desperation, but it makes everyone around you want to cram that phone up your taint. Put it on vibrate like every other normal person and keep your witticisms between you and your collection of Star Wars figurines.

he forgot:

the hat sitting on your head at an odd angle

..ffs put that shit on right you look like a moron

also the t-shirt, 70's avaiator glasses, and stupid toque look is just that: stupid ..stop imitating justin timberlake from 3 years ago, you are not him and you look like a doofus ..especially indoors

also pouting in photos: both sexes, stop it you look like a moron

 

[Pesmerga]

The ones Stern don't agree with are the ones he thinks actually make him look cool.

 

[Que-Ever]

Cigarettes aren't on that list because they actually do make you look cool.

guitar hero and the iphone ..except I dont have either of them ...so no

 

[Que-Ever]

Why do you always ruin jokes? Do you always have to take things at face value? Don't you get on christians for following the bible verbatim?

 

[Nitre]

That.

Definitely.

what are you talking about?

 

[Adabiviak]

Yeah, longboards FTL. They're a hoot as a novelty, but otherwise are kinda lame.

 

[Dan]

I greatly dislike hipsters mostly because of the hypocrisy of being part of a group that thinks they are non conformist.

 

[<RJMC>]

agree 100000000000% whit the ringtones one

 

[CyberPitz]

Lets all pop our collars so we can be hawt.

9.Ironic Belt Buckles



WHY YOU THINK YOU?RE COOL: Now you can show up in bars and point at your belt buckle and tell people that you are a ?Rodeo Champion? or a ?Pac Man? or a ?Truck Driver? or a ?Jack Daniels.? And while they will know that you are actually none of these things, you think you?re being playful and a little bit mysterious. You also think this tactic will help you pick up women.

WHY YOU?RE NOT COOL: You?re the same person who has ironic facial hair (mustache), drinks ironic beer (PBR) and wears ironic T-shirts (Lucky Charms). You spend your entire life trying to look as shitty and poor as possible while, chances are, you have rich parents or a job for an accounting firm that pays you over $60,000. In four years you will be a Republican living in the suburbs and complaining about your 401k over wine spritzers at dinner parties.

That made me think of Radio Broker.

 

[TCfromBN]

Fact: Aviators actually make you look cooler.

 

[Tyguy]

[CptStern]

ok back to why you think you're cool but not really discussion

 

[Absinthe]

I don't do any of those things, but I'm still not cool.

HOW THE **** DO YOU WIN?!?!

 

[Que-Ever]

I don't do any of those things, but I'm still not cool.

HOW THE **** DO YOU WIN?!?!

The trick is to find people who think you're cool anyway.

 

[highlander]

Denial is the first step.

 

[L3N!N]

I like aviators.


Now I don't.


Beer in paper bags make you look cool, right you guise? you guise?! GEEZ YUH GUIZE.

 

[Crash]

Lets all pop our collars so we can be hawt.

Like these guys!!

 

[Que-Ever]

wow, that really makes me want to punch someone.

 

[Dan]

Stern, what makes you think anyone here likes you

Nobody really dislikes Stern; everybody just pokes at him because he's old and he always has an opinion.

 

[Trevelyan]

& this guy x 4

 

[Skaadi]

I have no idea if this is happening anywhere else, but here there's this sudden boom of Che Guevera merchandise. Everywhere I go, theres someone with a t-shirt, a belt buckle, a bag..

I have no idea what the hells going on but I guarantee that if you talked to some of these people they'd have no idea who Guevera was.

 

[Sheepo]

Dress shirt

Black socks

NO PANTS

Best look in the world

 

[Que-Ever]

like, this, but remove the shirt and socks.

Aviators are cool, it just depends 1.) Who's wearing them 2.) What else you are wearing.
Also, most belt buckles suck, but some are awesome. Namely (of course) ones that I have. :thumbs:

I' am actually considering making a custom HL belt buckle. Don't know of what yet though.

Aviators -clothes +long socks = win. Belt buckles are acceptable as well, but only if worn on the head.

Wurd, tbh I don't know who he is (1. that's one reason I don't wear stuff with him on it, 2. it looks goofy) I don't care who he is/what he did no matter how important or good, (assuming some revolutionary/rebel) I think the Guevera merch is lame.

I don't do any of those things, but I'm still not cool.

HOW THE **** DO YOU WIN?!?!

Live simply and always be naked.

 

[Saturos]

The guy with the NES buckle reminds me of some way an autistic kid might dress. Maybe it's just me though? Meh, it's just a personal opinion though. If that's what he likes, then that makes him cool to me then regardless of my personal preference. Much like the prejudice some of you have against dragon shirts.

Everyone's entitled to believe whatever they think is cool. Whether it's to impress someone else or a personal taste.

Making a list of things that is, "uncool" is in fact uncool imo. Especially material things like clothing and accessories. "To each his own" is what I say.

The only people who are uncool imo are liers, thieves, cheaters, murderers, and rapists. EDIT> and whiners. Dress style and hobbies like longboarding are silly superficial things.

 

[L3N!N]

Well, I've been digging the aviators I have because they are super, super old...I just found them rummaging around in my junk. Problem is, I haven't really had a daytime occassion yet to wear them to.

Althouh...it is very very warm over here.

 

[Raziaar]

A huge trailing post-count.

In before Stern thinks I'm only talking about him.

 

[Phobie]

I agree with most of these too, but aviators are awesome.

Popped collars are so very 1990s and so fail. If I catch any of you with a popped collar I'll take you down.
