Why do you drive on a parkway and cry in a driveway?

[bodysnatcher]

I pull head first into a driveway, and back all the way out. Like a real man.

I’m sure most people wouldn’t want to admit they peaked, but post high school did you:

Become less cool
More cool
Stay around the same level of cool/not cool

?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Definitely more cool post-high school

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I think I’m about the same. Maybe slightly more but only because I knew more people. I’m not sure I changed that much, but had more avenues to expand.

[bodysnatcher]

Less cool but better at golf

[Rangi Guy]

I've never been cool - so I'll go with 'stayed the same', maybe a bit of decline

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Definitely more cool post-high school

jesus, exactly how uncool were you were high school?

[wease]

Peak cool around 2010.

Today I would consider myself dad cool, which means I don't buy my clothes at target and I listen to better music than people half my age.

Good god

Ouch.

I was mostly uncool, but not disliked

Let’s throw him in a locker

The answer for everyone is less high school cool, which means more overall cool.

[BurtReynolds]

Probably peaked around my mid twenties. But at least I have some money now.

[bodysnatcher]

I’ll peak when I’m dead

[pepperwhiteMFC]

There are days that I can’t even deal with how cool I am.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

What is cooler than being cool?
