That's cool.

I saw a kid walking through the mall the other day wearing an oversized black t-shirt with a large flaming skull, snakes, a few dragons, and a demon of some description. Apart from being an unfortunate fashion choice, it did make the bold statement, “This is a cool shirt and I am cooler for wearing it.” You have to admire that.

I typically allow cool to kind of waft off of me, like an air freshener. It’s subtle and it gets the message out, but I know that doesn’t work for everyone. For those people, there are dragon shirts and fringed halter-tops.
