I personally don't understand that concept. I HATED all of the Kevin smith movies I have seen thus far (except dogma - chris rock really made that one float). I cannot imagine on what planet 2 dope smoking, foul mouthed, retarded social rejects are considered cool. I knew a guy like Jay when I was in high school, he was cool then - IN HIGH SCHOOL. Now he does oil changes at the local jiffy lube. I personally would like to see more movies where the main characters are not the dregs of society. All that being said. I have not seen clerks 1 or clerks 2 and I ain't gonna. to be cool? I personally don’t understand that concept.

I hated Napolean Dynamite, but I thought Clerks was pretty good (not sure I could watch it 10x though:) I’ve never been one of those people that liked things or did things, just for the sake of fitting in (standard protocols and etiquette aside).

I actually watched my first one when I was just browsing the TV channels once, and I got hooked. But that's not the issue here, right? I never do things because everyone does them. In fact, I remember my college friends teasing me because I wasn't a Star Wars junkie, and I had no idea who the hell Chewbacca was. Same thing goes with attractions parks. People love them, I hate them. I don't like rollercoasters or any other kind of stuff that makes me feel nauseous. I've seen more than one person endure the suffering just to fit among their friends. No, thanks. You have to like me just the way I am. :-) I love Kevin Smith movies. I actually watched my first one when I was just browsing the TV channels once, and I got hooked.

I don't think cool has anything to do with who you are or what you do but who other people think you are. Cool is something people get called by others. Many times being cool has nothing to do with conforming. For instance, Fonzie of Happy Days. He was definitely not a conformist and everyone thought he was cool. True, it was a sitcom but art imitates life. I've never thought I was cool. However, my nieces and grand nieces have always said I was the "cool aunt". It doesn't mean other people think I'm cool and certainly doesn't mean I think I'm cool. Cool is something different to different people. Like beauty, cool is in the eye of the beholder. The Chinese alphabet analogy is pretty amusing. I've never heard it before but I can see it catching fire. And, by the way Logtar ... I think you're cool and I always have. XOXOX Well, of course, I’m the “odd man out” on this topic.

As long as I was having fun that's all that mattered. I like what I like and I have friends that like other things. I don't conform to a crowd because they are in the now. I hope to teach my children the same as they grow. Never considered being cool a priority in my life. As long as I was having fun that’s all that mattered.

Well -- I love your "chinese alphabet soup" -- and I don't know if it's original or not -- won't matter soon though because now you've printed it - it will get around! ;) Being cool really was NEVER on my top ten list.... even in High School... I was the one who said NO to drugs! Oh ... remember me? LOL! I think that's what I was noted for in our yearbooks! As for the movies -- I don't like them - because I don't LIKE them. I rarely find "off color" or "raunchy" humor to be funny. Although I am going to see Ron White this week -- and I think HE is hysterical!!! LOL!
