2. I've been in the company of much hotness that was not cool.
Hotness denied.

11. And yet your
original assertion was relative to the suckworthiness of the not cool, not the uncoolness of some of the hot. Ergo I assert that the hot which is/who are not cool at least fail to suck inasmuch as it is/they are hot.

Denial denied.

3. Yeah, but there's a point where . . .
the uncool becomes sort of "underground cool," like R. Crumb's graphic work before everyone else found out about him. I like _that_ uncool stuff.

5. I don't think I ever thought of Crumb as uncool.
Anyway, I was more talking about my life. :(

9. I couldn't care less about your life, Hedges.
That said, I prefer uncool things, like saying "dawg." I like to pick up on a trend a good 5 years after it's become passe and make it my own. When I call people "dawg" (and spell it d-a-w-g) people don't mistake me for one of the Dogg Pound Crew, they just think I'm a dork. That's how I roll...

when I am pleasantly surprised. You should try it too.

18. But, but, but . . .

What does that say of me?

26. You're on the cutting edge of haute couture . . .
and if I'm wrong about that, just wait about seven years until I'm right. (Sometimes Goodwill and I are ahead of the curve.)

Just adding that caveat.
