11 Reasons I'm Not Cool. Jump in and join the fun!

In My Humble Opinion
202

  1. I passed up the opportunity to have sex with my SO because I was so engrossed in this thread. I dare anyone to tell me that is not pathetic.

  2. I didn’t even bother to make any New Year’s Resolutions because I knew I wouldn’t keep them.

  3. The transmission went out in my 1984 Buick this past September. It costs $3000 to replace it, which is more than what the car is worth. It is now four months later and I still haven’t replaced the car or the transmission. Also, the car sat in the parking lot where I work for over a month before I finally sold it to the salvage yard for $35. Does this qualify as one reason, or is it more like three or four?

  4. I live in Kansas.

  5. I am 31 years old and have only had four sexual relationships.

  6. I have never owned a cell phone.

  7. I insist on having my paper clips facing the exact same direction in my desk drawer.

  8. Christopher Walken (sp?) excites me in a sexual way.

  9. I kinda felt sorry for Monica Lewinsi.

  10. I enjoyed playing the clarinet in high school.

  11. I’m listening to Taco’s “Putting On The Ritz” right now, after spending three hours to find and download it. Again, is this one reason or two or three?

203 
  1. I'm 50. Anything over 40 is automatically uncool.

  2. I hate contemporary pop music. For that matter, I have serious doubts and reservations about the pop music of my own generation. If I heard the Who or Led Zeppelin for the first time today,  I probably wouldn't like them. I haven't bought a new CD or a new cassette in at least 10 years, probably longer.

  3. I listen to old time radio shows like Jack Benny,  the Shadow, Inner Sanctum and Our Miss Brooks. I watch maybe three or four hours of tv a week. Most of the movies I watch are twenty or thirty years old and even older. I am often offended by excessive sex and violence in the mass media. People in the entertainment and media businesses often seem disturbingly like narcissistic elitists to me.

  4. I think the Three Stooges are funnier than the Marx Brothers.

  5. I have six or seven hundred comic books. Okay, they're mostly undergrounds and EC reprints, not the superhero stuff, but, hey, they're still comic books.

  6. In 35 years I've only had three romantic relationships. Maybe two and a half. This may have something to do with reason #13.

  7. I drive a '91 Ford Escort. This does not bother me. Neither does the dent in the left front fender, nor the fact that the radio doesn't work.

  8. I think people who spend thousands of dollars for a pile of junk or some random smears of paint on a canvas being passed off as art are even bigger yahoos than the trailer trash that sends money to TV preachers. 

  9. I like marching bands and John Philip Sousa.

  10. I prefer beer to wine.

  11. The latest “cool” stuff—fancy coffees, bottled water, cell phones, designer clothes, SUV’s, piercing, tattooing—usually seems like a complete waste of time and money to me, and sometimes seems down right repulsive.

  12. I’d rather read a good book than go to a party.

  13. I only get basic cable.

  14. I have the horrible feeling that there are thousands of people who would become cannibals if they thought it was the cool thing to do this year.

204

I have long nice hair, which everybody else, which are skinheads, doesn’t like.

I like history of the Soviet era, and I enjoy politics.

I’m the only person who could probably name a lot of politicians no ones heard of.

205

Oh, I don’t smoke pot, but whoever offers, I’m willing to take.

206
  1. I agree with about half of what most of the people in this thread say.

I could repeat that another nine times, but I think just the once is enough to make the point.

207

  1. I think it would be cool to own every new/useful gadget that I see advertised on TV (the GripWrench, every little Craftsman tool, the DentKing, SpaceBags, any DR Chipper/Shredder-like machine, etc.)

  2. I listen to talk radio

  3. I watch the interior decorating shows on Discovery Mornings

  4. I always keep captions on when watching TV

  5. I still can’t get enough of “I Ran” by Flock of Seagulls

  6. I love to tell and re-tell stupid/pointless/corny/lame jokes

  7. I thrive on trivia of any sort

  8. I like to vacuum

  9. I am a wallflower at any gathering

  10. I have always wanted to work a graveyard shift somewhere

  11. I know every word to “Breakfast Club,” “Pulp Fiction,” the entire original “Star Wars” trilogy, and “Real Genius”
