The Buckets by Greg Cravens for June 23, 2023

“The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo†, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.

†Cool, but not necessarily up to date."

- “Lords and Ladies”, Sir Pterry Pratchett. GNU.

True cool is a state of mind, basically. Anti-cool is still cool.

(Yeah, I’ve posted this before. Sorry. But the wisdom of Sir Pterry bears repeating.)

Cookies and Gatorade? I’m in!!

Never saw parents that only introduced themselves as mr. Steve’s dad…..

Garry looks a lot like his mom.

Most of the locals I know, I refer to by their dog’s name(s).

Sheila switched sides already. Anti-cool, yep parents can be that way.

Have we ever seen someone from Sheila’s family?

I don’t base my level of cool on anyone else’s opinion. They’re either too immature or just jealous that I’m cooler than they are ;)
