Wanna know why? Because I freakin’ say so. This isn’t a rant, it’s more of a statement. I’m the absolute coolest motherfucker I know. I can swing with the crowd, I know a few hip sayings like “Hey baby how ‘bout you and me…you know, doin’ it?” That gets me lotsa honey’s. Sometimes, I switch from hip to cool in an instant. At least I think I do, I’ve never really timed it. One minute I’ll be like “Hey cats, dig my vibe” and **BAM!!** I’m talking like Fonzie…“What’s up Potsy?” I don’t know anyone else who can handle metamorfi…metamorfic…metamorphosis like me. Try it, you can’t I know. I gets all the dopest(not Straight Dope[sub]tm[/sub]) babes. Anyways I’m just letting you guys know, so there won’t be any confusion in the future. Also, consider the following: [John Winger voice] Chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it’s usually something unusual. [/John Winger voice] I’m the czar of hypnocoolness! ---
