Says who?

I know a The Man when I see one, and you certainly ain't.

You're barging in, out of nowhere, and with your friends from the Times Rich List...

"The Man" status *is* conferred by others. But, really, who cares. I was just asking about what what kind of person lumps together B&R and Wrangler together as cool (along with some kind of Eastman Leather Jacket). I've only ever seen Wrangler on Cowboys (and B&R in Airport Duty Free shops). Don't take it personally.

It was and i seem to have to repeat myself "Damn you guys are so easy to wind up"

We were all just so enamored with your "new book" post, that we looked past obvious trolling behavior.

I have friends on the Times Rich List and unfortunately most are not cool and those of us that saw Buddy Holly live have been cool for longer than some have been alive (i'm waiting for the first responce to point out that that last statement is not cool!)

Is oblique name dropping, calling youself cool and being ancient cool this second? I thought that was so last second?

You're so right my cool window has passed

That window incident sure sounded "un-cool".

I have officially relinquished my cool status in the face of such superior coolness

Well then, welcome to the forum.

I've never claimed to be cool

I'll try and behave... honest, but no guarentees

I am however seriously interested in this Bono thing. Clearly if people are going to buy branded shit then it is a good thing if some of the profit goes to actual good causes. The whole thing makes me queasy, but then Bono always has. I used to think it was his Christianity but it's something more than that. I actually think I'm allergic to him and all his works. Maybe it's the sunglasses?

The numbers are merely pointers to the shape. Remember the map is not the territory

So you're saying that if they didn't have the numbers, had never had the numbers, and were not, in fact, even manufactured by the "right" manufacturer, as long as the shape and quality were right, they'd be cool? That's pretty reasonable.

On the other hand, I can't say I've ever been moved to exclaim "cool pants!" but, honestly, I don't know cool from a hole in the ground.

Oh yeah, welcome to the board, too. I don't think I said that yet.

Elsewhere I have retreated from my cool position. The whole thing was a product of insomnia, broadband and a computer in the bedroom.
Your analysis of my point about the jeans was spot on.
I will try and be good but can't promise

After some considerable thought I think that if you want to recognise cool then look to Johnny Cash (any period)

Yeah, but is it the pants, or the man?

It's the Man in Black Dummy
