Tournament of Cool (nominations/history/general discussion)

what if their connection to this board is tenuous, at best?

This guy voted, so should YOU!

Here we run into a problem of how to define "cool."

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing. The Harwell Johny Mac competition comes to mind. To me Johnny Mac was cool. I respect the hell out of Harwell though. I don't think there should be a collective definition of 'cool', but to each his own.

When I was growing up, peeps might ask this about a person: "Is he cool? The meaining back then: Does he smoke pot or at least not freak out if somone does? Or does this person call the cops if we're out on in the middle of a 40 acre field smoking a joint. That is NOT the definition of cool today.

Now that might be a lil dramatic, but cool is the mind of the beholder, I think.

So Dr J was the only upset and a mild one at that. Props to the seed peeps.

Hermy still uses that definition.

I'm unhappy about all of my "misc." nominations.

I'm going to start my own Tournament for people who are just barely not cool enough to get in. I'll call it:

The NITOC.

Starting next week on ESPN 5.

Wow! Our Tournament of Cool has spawned its own NIT! A certain Somebody would be proud!



And A certain Somebody has left something at the front desk for you to run this thing, Motown!

Wow, I wish Paul Newman could have been in the Misc bracket. He is also a race car driver/owner. He's not one dimensional.

This should come down to EK vs JFK.

Misc bracket is made up of peeps that I don't know much about or care about. I mean do I actually come across like someone who has read poetry? Hope not.

You bugle blowers knock yourself out on these cultural dudes.
Thats a fuckin joke, whether its funny or not, its meant as a joke.

Even though I'm not crazy bout this bracket, props to the peeps who put it together.

[Zip Goshboots]

I'm gonna let the above post go because it's Tahoe. But seriously, if you haven't read poetry, go out and get some.
Start with The Raven by Poe.
