Things You Can Never Make "Cool"

There are things in life that can never be cool no matter how you try to dress it up or make it look. There's a quote that says "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit no matter how much mayonaise you use." Here are some things that you can never make "cool" under any circumstance:

1) Cataract Sunglasses
2) A black leather "bra" for a car
3) Member's Only jackets
4) A "Rascal" motorized scooter
5) Minivans
6) A "combover" hairstyle to cover balding
7) The Jesus fish magnet on the back of your car
8) Giving a Chia Pet as a gift
9) Dressing up in a Star Wars Costume when it's not Halloween
10)Playing "Dungeons and Dragons"
11)Cranking up John Denver in your car
12)Being a Mets fan

Ok, Beach Bums....let's hear your "Things you can never make cool!"

Monday morning meetings are never cool. Also, picking your nose can not be played off as cool, no matter how hard you try to hide it.

waking up hungover next to an ugly stranger can never be cool.

You mean John Denver's not cool? But I really like that "Calypso" song. I always crank that! Geez...next you'll be telling me Barry Manilow isn't cool either!

Word- The pop ups are from that stupid poll I have on the left....I don't get the pop ups b/c I have a pop up blocker...sorry! :(

WordWhiz said...

Crap...first John Denver - now Sassoon jeans? I am so totally uncool.

Charlie: I have pop-up blocker at home. Currently, I'm not at home. I'm just taking a break from typing up the minutes from our super-cool Monday morning meeting. (BYOC - Bring your own coffee.)

Miss_Vicki said...

LMAO Sassoon - I was a Jordache girl back then :op

I agree with the Speedos too - fookin gross, not even Javy Lopez could look good in one of those.

Speedos is good, especially on overwight retirees from Quebec on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale.

Mullets is another good one.

How about Barry Manilow? I had a roomie for only one year in college (thank god) and made a habit of frisbeeing her Barry Manilow album off my turntable onto her bed if she left it there when she ran to class.

White wool socks with Birkenstock sandals. Now I own a pair of birkis, but would never be caught dead wearing them with socks. White wool socks just screams "German tourist," who is about to ask me for directions to Times Square or Rockefeller Center.

Tourists who ask for directions to Park Avenue from the East Village. I'll give them, alright, but won't bother to say that it's about a mile and a half walk up 4th Ave. to Park Ave. South, to 34th St., where it actually turns into Park Ave. proper. Get a map. They're available for free from many places. Even a subway map's normally good enough.
