It seems like being different has become so common that the only way to not fit in, and hence be unique, is to do what ever is currently popular. Or is that uncool?

If so then it would seem only logical that to be uncool must be uncool. Wait no, I mean yes. I'm getting a headache. I need a drink.

I'ld have to disagree, the worst and best movie ever was, "They Live" starring Roddie Piper. In my humble opinion this movie wins the title because Piper's character has the worst and best line in any movie ever made, "I came here to chew bublle gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum!!!".

By the way, some scientists have contacted me and warned that if we continue to keep talking about how Uncool is cool and that Cool is uncool, that we could create a chian-reaction that would cause the universe could start to implode and destroy itself.
