Have I mentioned I have a pair of Macs? Because I do.
Plus, for tea? Vanilla Chai. Which, if they ever figure out a way to package that shit in recycled tea bags, count me in!

I picked the new colors for our kitchen. My wife didn’t like the shade of green I picked; she wanted something two shades darker. We painted yesterday, and guess what? The green is too fucking dark! Should never have caved in at the paint shop.
Interior decorating is me!
Macs is an acronym for what now? Middle aged conservative skunks? Skinks? Sloths?
Face it, Jeff: You’ll never achieve these levels of cool.
You don’t have the requisite levels of ironic ennui detatchment positioning.
Macs are Macintoshes. No acronym. Just coolness.
My wife has a Mac. Both she and it are undeniably cool. I still have to fix it when it doesn’t work which I suppose would make me a cooler sort of geek? Is that even possible?
I don’t think I want to be an unhappy hipster. I have too much stuff to pull it off.

No, that’s not possible. Everyone knows that Macs never don’t work.
Angry, over-aged conservative men can bring the cool, too. Why, only this morning I… zzzzz
…
*hgggh*
I’m not worthy. The coolest I ever get is wearing an iridescent tie.
I discovered quite by accident that the coolest thing of all is how easy it can be to make cool people feel uncool when you don’t give a shit what they think.
This one made me lol.
I have a Mickey Mouse T-shirt!
Amateur. I’m so cool my neon tetras all live in water filtered by reverse osmosis and they feast on dried miniature shrimp I grind myself in a coffee grinder reserved specifically for that. And I have to put on shoes just to get the mail. So there.
You slaughter sea monkeys, bour3?
So not cool, bro.
Jeff are almost metrosexual…except for the rigorous classical liberal arguments combined with bone crushing hooks. And the unpretentious beer drinking.
dicentra, that site is very funny.
Is it sexist to assume that mails don’t like ugly feet?
I’ll see your pair of Macs, and I’ll raise you an arugula salad with mustard vinaigrette. And three martinis.
Proof that artists are just cooler than all of us.

Put an ampersand after the small s in the url.
@Lost My Cookies:
Mommy… I don’t want to see anymore art!
You should get you one of those Tumblr blogs, and post interesting typfaces over ambigous landscapes that turn out to me the musculature of someones extremity.
Out to be, not out to me.
The dicentra gift that keeps on giving…
You are not cool Jeff, promoting eviromental fascism is what is cool. For the planet.

Those little dewds come from the Great Salt Lake, where they swim freely with their tiny undulating cilia and microscopic black eyes. You go swimming in the GSL, you’ve got about 6 per cubic inch in the water with you.
And Joe: where you grabbing the permalink for those posts? I can’t find it.
I bought me some Jerry Garcia ties at JC Penney. That’s gotta be the ne plus ultra of coolness, doncha think?
At age 15, a pack of Gauloises cigarettes came into my possession. Thereafter, I looked at Sartre’s Nausea in a whole new light.
I make no claim to coolness. Manliness on the other hand. . .
Mack — French for “pimp”
Mac — Geek for “overpriced”
“Mac, Big” – MickeyD’s for calories.
Of course, by “mac,” Jeff could have meant , which is how they call them in England, so that would make him even more cool.
BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSITY!
I noticed the banker never wears one in the pouring rain.
Very strange.
I’m more of a cool enabler myself. The best part is the overwhelming embarrassment this fact creates in the one who is cool.
I forgive you, Makewi. With a heavy-lidded blink and a barely discernible shrug.
Most of my hip friends aren’t cool and most of my cool friends aren’t hip. They are different things methinks. Though I’m both, he anonymously insists.
Thanks Jeff. And thanks for not running up to your room and slamming the door screaming about how I’m ruining your life. My days are just better when that doesn’t happen.
“Vanilla Chai”
C’mon, Jeff, that’s like a code word, right?
Little arrow on the left side.
dicentra! You’re the … Dicentra! That is such a cool web site. I howled my way through it! Full disclosure: I once had one of those rugs. It was from Sweden and called a Rya rug. Very hip and with it, I was assured. We put it on the wall, like a mural. Roughly those colors. Circa 1972. I had forgotten. Some of those places reminded me of a layout I once saw in Sunset. It pictured the living room (?) o some Very Hip B.P.’s in Chicago. There were no chairs. You sat on stuffed sheep.
I have three, none of which is younger than 8 years old. (If you must know what I have three of, I refer you to Jeff’s original post.)
So help a guy out Alan. Middle aged conservative squids? Squirrels? Sasquatch?
I have a cool thing. I copped it from my dead gay uncle’s house. Here is what it looks like cept mine’s blue… it’s a music box thing and then you click a button and it musics and goes sort of round and round and the doors open up and you can reach in and get a cigarette if you didn’t quit already. I linked this before a few years ago but it’s still the coolest thing I own.
It was from Sweden and called a Rya rug.
Oh, so THAT’s what a Rya looks like. The word “rya” shows up in crossword puzzles occasionally and it cheeses me off because THERE’S NO SUCH WORD.
The Swedes have those no words for the things they do sometimes. Which. I’m not going to fill it in for them if they can’t be bothered.
i think they do that at coffee parties
Heh. Dicentra, unhappy histers indeed. This killed me: “After many months they ventured, blinking, to the Outside. But it would be even longer before they felt brave enough to step from the deck onto the uneven, unexpectedly spongy sod.” ROFLMAO
Speaking of spongy sods, how has Nishi managed to miss this thread?
nishi ambled away the other day and she hasn’t returned Mr. Hill… she can be mercurial.
It’s her way.
There are two things implied in your comment, Chaz, that, I think I prefer to believe you’re just guessing.
I keep a ten-foot pole at hand for not touching exactly such matters.
That center from the Warsaw Rangers? Good player.
I’m rockin’ the leopard print tights today. or at least I hope I am. nobody but RTO has said anything, and what does he know, really?
Hopefully he knows what to say and what not to say. Or to put it another way, he knows what’s good for him.
Very funny Passover parody songs. If singing the Passover story to the theme of Gilligan’s Island can’t make you cool, nothing can.
Sometimes it’s almost impossible to know what’s good for you, but you can certainly know what isn’t good for you.
What kind of person names their biceps Mac?
