Imaginary: Bono’s Evil Doppleganger
Real: Let’s go with Daniel Riccardo, or Mutherfuckin’ Dave Grohl
No. It’s Dave, either way. Face it.
Actually, after some … thought…
Mike McCready. I’ve not not loved a single project he’s been involved with that I know of, mainly because of his contribution. And so totally out of the eye. That’s cool.
Jeff Goldblum.
Can the Obama nominators explain this comment? How is he more evolved than the average person that makes him “cool”? Is his spine better suited for upright walking? Has his brain evolved beyond the addictive desire for sugar?
My nomination for coolest person on the planet would be myself. I’m pretty spiffy.
Also Kevin Smith.
Vladimir “Watch Me Pose Shirtless on a Horse” Putin is the working definition of a tryhard. He’s the opposite of cool.
He has the exact same coolness level as Obama, national leaders can’t be cool unless they lose their egos or put their money where their mouth is and Putin and Obama are about equal in the department. Teddy Roosevelt is a “cool” leader for example.
Obama is cool because he has evolved to the point where he would not have to nominate himself for coolest person on the planet. He just knows that he is and he will just chill and let other people reaffirm it for him. And give a little wink.
I thought about Kevin Smith but he wake and bake lifestyle has turned me off if he would go back to taking breaks from being stoned he’d be really close to #1.
I’m just glad nobody has chimed in with that putz, Elon Musk.
The only thing I’ve got is Sir Patrick Stewart. I wonder, though if you can be that dignified and cool at the same time.
Barack Obama won the Presidency largely BECAUSE he was so immensely cool.
As I pointed out in another thread, I’ve meet Elon Musk, albeit in university a long time ago. He was not cool, and if you’re the coolest human on the planet, you have to have always been cool.
My vote currently goes to Elisabeth Bik.
I might fight you on that (though that would be uncool).
I’m twenty times cooler than I was a decade ago, and certainly than I was in my teens. Seriously, growing as a person (“evolving” if you will) to the point where you don’t care as much what others think of you is pretty cool.
I think that the context of said coolness is implied here. Obama was almost certainly cool throughout his life within his age bracket and setting.
Sorry, it’s still Janelle Monae. Have you seen the “Make Me Feel” video? Janelle Monáe – Make Me Feel [Official Music Video] - YouTube
You may be extremely cool. However, we are talking about the coolest person in the world. Just being really cool isn’t close to enough to gain that title.
This is the heart of the matter.
The coolest person on the planet knows he or she is the coolest person on the planet. No need to prove it. No need to pose shirtless. No need to say anything, but when he does say something, people will listen.
Before Obama, Miles Davis was the coolest person on the planet (yes, I know there was a bit of an interregnum there – I don’t know who the coolest person on the planet was between them).
I was going to let it go but since you keep insisting… she does not hold a candle to those who defined coolness: Nina Simone, Eartha Kitt, Ella Fitzgerald…
Sorry, not even close with that painfully obvious rip-off styling from Prince.
Y’know, you could give that news a little more gently. Heck of a bedside manner, Dr. Rick.
Gotta go, I need some hopelessly ordinary comfort food…
You are making the hippo angry. I would advise you to fall back…
