I done been tagged.
And I have to say this is the first one I've ever not intentionally ignored! Okay:1. Grab the nearest book. If you are currently reading something, that'll be fine too.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your Blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet I know that is what you were thinking!
"It drives us, for lack of a better term, coo coo. And part of the reason we struggle is because there is no hard-and-fast clarity about what qualifies as cool. It needs to be original, but only semi-original: It would be legitimately inventive (and kind of "out there") to casually walk around with a petrified orangutan under your arm for no apparent reason, but this would only seem cool to a select class of performance artist. A better choice would be a t-shirt featuring the cast of After M*A*S*H."
Ironic that the paragraph pertains to the definition of cool (see rule #5 above)
