Are you Cool?

Does it get more cool than a man in his twenties hanging around with 16 year old school kids in a diner?

It’s actually a bit creepy. Possibly the most uncool thing you can think of.

Ah they were safe, Ritchie and Potsy were more to Henry Winkler's taste.

I thought he was the jukebox repair engineer?

TBH he did have a cool motorbike...................Triumph Bonneville, 650cc pre-unit

EDIT , Oooh I'm wrong google suggests it was a 500cc Triumph Trophy.

Long anecdote shortened. I worked in inner city Brum in the 70's and had a workmate Terry who was a 6'4" west indian, played rugby and was built like the proverbial. We'd go for a pint from time to time as we both worked a later shift on Thursday and clocked off at 8:00pm. On one occasion we both fancied another drink after chucking out time sovTerry took me to a club he frequented. Walked in and I was the only white guy in there, I was standing next to Terry at the crowded bar and getting a few puzzled looks when Terry turned round and said " This Ja Kev, he cool ". Had a great evening and finally fell out the door about 1am. So, for that one evening I was cool 😁

A definitive definition of tosh.

My experience of people trying to be 'cool' at school and elsewhere, is that they very often ended up being complete and absolute ar*eholes.

I couldn’t care less what people think of me. I’ve had people hurl obscenities at me when I’ve been out on some of my bikes, those were likely not cool, (assorted scooters) but I’ve also had some pretty nice things yelled at some of my other rides. Presumably the cool ones. (‘53 Triumph 500, assorted cafe racers)

the really pretty girl who stopped her Corvette in the middle of an intersection to proclaim my hulking Russian army bike cool may have been a nutter though. As the bike had been painted bright yellow.

the three teenaged boys on the bench at the bus stop looked like they thought my un-muffled two stroke in full road racer trim was cool, but there’s mouths were just hanging open so nothing was said. They did look funny as h*** though.

Of course I'm cool. I play bass.

That instantly disqualifies you - You are not cool, you are a cliché.

A cool, bass-playing cliche. There's no way around it, bass is cool, man.

I have fitted the equivalent of a knotted hankie inside my cycle helmet to help with this heat. Cool..and cool ?😂😂

There are a few 'cool' bass players Phil Lynot was cool as was Lemmy and Jack Bruce.

Tell that to a Tuba player! 🤣

You are instantly not cool if you are trying to be.
