One of my blog buddies tipped me to
this quote from Terry Pratchett:
The monastery of the Monks of Cool is found in a laid back valley
in the lower Ramtop mountains. They are a reserved and secretive
sect and believe that only through ultimate coolness can the
universe be comprehended, that black goes with everything, and
that chrome will never truly go out of style. To become a fully
accepted Monk, a novice is given the following test. Several
outfits are laid out in front of him and the tester asks, "Yo, my
son, which of these outfits is the most stylish thing to wear?"
The correct answer is "Hey, whatever I select."
You know the type, right? Further thoughts on the
day I stopped trying to be one of the Cool Kids. If you
ever become an ex-Cool Kid, you'll know what I
mean.
