    Whatever I am, please do not call me a Peep.

    All I can think of when I hear that word is those sickening sweet mushy things my Mom gave me as a kid on Easter. Every year for about 6 years straight I would take one bite, remember why I hated them, and throw the rest in the trash. Or, leave them out a day or so and make rocks.

    As long as it's not this definition:

    The billed performer's act consisted of a single geek, who stood in center ring to chase live chickens. It ended with the performer biting the chickens' heads off and swallowing them.

    C'mon, you don't want to be one of my peeps?

    Nerds and geeks are pretty synonymous and exist in all groups of society. I have always thought of myself as a cool person. Cool is just there no matter what you do (with some exceptions, of course), but it does come in to play in who you are. Cool is one who can operate in most, if not all, facets of life in some capacity. Cool is not acceptance, but self realization unhindered by opinion.

    Well my calling card has me down as "Eccentric Enthusiast"! I couldn't call myself an expert, as I have no qualifications, so Eccentric suited me fine.

    Of course the definition of an expert is arrived at through:

    "Ex" = hasbeen
    "Spurt" = Drip under pressure

    So I wouldn't want to go with that anyway.

    Of course most younger people just call me "Sad"!

    That is the nerdiest definition of "cool" I have ever seen.

    That is an opinion by which cool is unhindered.

    Wouldn't "undaunted" be more appropriate?

    I was thinking more "unwarranted" or "unrelated". :D

    You know how lawyers are! They think they can do no wrong until a judge tells them to sit down and shut up.

    That is also appropriate. Also: undeterred, undefined, unencumbered, unobstructed, unthwarted, unconcerned. I am sure there are many more words that could roughly be used. It is tough to define because cool is tough to define. Cool is a feeling, it is knowledge of what is.

    im a geek when it comes to coins, goof when it comes to life and a know-it-all when it comes to the TITANIC.

    I try not to push it that far, but boy do I have stories of other lawyers. It is rather comical to see a lawyer try to convince a judge that has already made up their mind. :D

    You just may be on your way to cool.
