Then why did you belt out 'Livin' on a Pray-uh' at Chili's, the other night?
Then, you said, and I quote:

Don't get no realer...Nuff said."
I'm so confused, Thump!

Yeah, I hear that.
I'd so rock a mohawk if I were bit younger. And, didn't have this silly "employment" thing going on.

Thump is the embodiment of cool.

While many of the "hair bands" had some great music, I'll usually listen to the likes of Sprinsteen and Billy Joel in preference to them.
And I had NEVER heard of Stryper until a Thinking Atheist podcast.
"Hair metal" had some great music?
Sheesh, girl, bite your tongue again. There are a couple of good songs that came from that cesspool. The rest of it? Winger. White Lion, Bon Jovi, Autograph, Poison (though they had one good song), Ratt, Quiet Riot, Warrant?
... and that's what happened in 1991.

As much as I wish the following was an Onion article, it just is not. This man really is this stupid.
Quote:I've read a number of stories about how atheism is seen as "cool" by many young people, especially among college age youths. That's funny to me because I couldn't think of anything less cool than becoming an atheist. So, just in case any young people are reading, here are eight reasons that atheism is the in-coolest choice ever.
8) Religious people live longer, happier lives, according to numerous scientific studies.
7) Michelangelo and Bach (look 'em up kids!) were indisputably awesome Christian artists.
6) Typical Atheist gathering:
World Youth Day:
5) Most of your big time mass killers of the 20th century were atheists.
4) This is an extreme Christian.
This is an extreme atheist:
3) As a Christian, my wife looks at me like I'm a gift from God.
2) Many of your college professors agree with your atheist beliefs. How's that for the uncoolest choice ever?
1) Atheists have less children and that probably means...well you probably know what that means since you're all about SCIENCE! Once again, to sum up, you'll be miserable, have a shorter life, and quite likely less sex than your religious counterparts. And you thought atheism was cool? Reconsider and repent ye' fools. Jesus said he is the way, the truth, and the life. Left unsaid, is that He's totally cooler than Richard Dawkins!

He never once claimed Christianity was true so, he's got that going for him.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I caught a glimpse before he deleted it. Sad. Didn't your god provided with a spine. If you are going to throw an half arsed insult... at least be a man to own it.
I deleted it because it was a duplicate post and moved on to another thread. For the those who didn't see the post, I said I thought the row of porta-potties in the back seemed oddly appropriate. There! Good enough for you.

You could just shave off all the hair. Not everyone can pull off sexy baldness, but perhaps you can.
Nope, to many moles, scars and divots up there.

What a fucking retard. There's nothing less cool than having an imaginary friend as an adult.
Although who but a kid gives a flying fuck about coolness anyway? I don't give two shits about "coolness".
I'm both anti-cool and anti-anti-cool. I am just anti-any-position-on-coolness-or-uncoolness. Fuck the whole subject. Who gives a fuck?
This is all I care about:
Now FUCK coolness in the ass with a square wooden buttplug... and give The Prostate Of Coolness splinters.
Fuck coolness and fuck playing it cool.

Ah, you know what I mean A bit like those teachers trying to be cool or an aging rocker clinging to a bygone age
As a teacher, I'm just hoping that I'm naturally cool. At least I haven't jumped the shark yet and tried to rap about derivatives. Though I might...
I probably should.

My students sometimes chuckle when I wax poetic about the universe or some such thing, but in the end, they get it - at least some get it.
I had a math class that I thought was completely hopeless and devoid of curiosity, just going through the motions. I wasn't quite sure whether I should, but
I started to tell them about dark matter and black holes. Suddenly one girl who always got straight Fs, and always acted too cool to even try,
her eyes lit up, and she began to tell me about what she heard about other stars and galaxies, and a discussion ensued whether there is life elsewhere.
I thought fuck me, this is awesome, I didn't know they had it in them.
