Alright, guys, this is probably the weirdest chateroni thingy you've ever read! So, you get to choose how cool I am. Pretty neat, huh?

Just one thing. Why did you create the poll if you think you're so brilliant? By making topics like this, it actually decreases your popularity.
Before this topic, I thought I was the most narcisstic person, within the entire Yoshi community, since My sites name basically says "Super ME world" (Ahh see! I didn't advertise my site) but after reading this, wow. I was proved wrong.
No, you're not cool, if you think you're cool for creating threads like this. I will just look through the rules to see if there's a restriction against topics like these now, although, even if there isn't a restriction, I'll close it anyway because it's spam, and we don't accept that here.
I think this poll is so stupid, I won't even dignify using my vote wisely...

I agree with PFY. And no you are not that cool. You can possibly be banned.

Banned? Nein. That's like, the Agent Orange of the internet. Use only on severe circumstances. And Commies.
The "streets" defenition of cool: 1. When a person is popular, suave*, and you like them. 2. Something neat and pleasing. 3. "That's good, and interesting." You say that version of cool when you're not really listening. 4. Relatively low temperature.
Ho-k, we now have a clear base to work off of, and can go through the proper checks, to see if you live up to the postulate. Just like the infantry.
First, there's popularity, which is round, and is the end goal of coolness. You get there by being Suave. Check footnotes for definition of Suave.
Second, there's neat and pleasing. While not round like popularity, it isn't a regular quadrilateral, which is good. Unfortunatly, while this idea could be neat and pleasing, at least to those of us who enjoy incoherent rambling and entering "Clamp it!", the entry is withdrawn, the conclusion, forgone. Messes everything up, which is not neat or pleasing.
The third doesn't apply. Although it's difficult to pay attention to scornful egotism, the 7B cost for a 1/1 creature shows potential with the casting cost cards from Onslaught block.
Your body temperature is around 98.6F, give or take up to 6F. Not relatively cool, say biologists.
I'd ask you to draw your own conclusion from the data, however, the past hasen't made that such a good idea. To quote an old Chuck Norris move, "This juznot coo'."
* Suave = Smoothly agreeable and courteous; Sweet; pleasant; delightful; gracious or agreeable in manner. Forgone ideas are not deleightful, gracious or agreeable in manner. You know who else who had thoughts like that? Xerxes! You don't want to be like Xerxes... do ya?

Bah. I've had some time to come to a conclusion, and topics like this are not allowed because by creating this thread, you are demoralising the other forum members.
*Closed*

Actually I don't mind topics like these as long as Lazoshi is still around. His replies to such topics are better than anything on TV Tom was just trying to be funny, it's a shame no one caught his sense of humor... Just look at the options in his poll, they're all ridiculous

Heh, I think I'm brilliant, but I don't make threads about how awesome I am and whatnot, lol. I'll let my site do that for me.
And as for not seeing the funny side, I do tend to take my work very seriously...
...Meh, I've just contradicted myself because I broke a lot of rules during any work I completed during my college time. I liked having fun.
...Still, not everyone approves of things like these, and have much more sensitive feelings towards them, and can, fight to prove they are very low.
I've seen a flamewar break out over something similar to this. It was very messy. Thankfully, our memberbase is friendly, and just totally darn awesome, and flamewars are something that won't break out.
Meh? Geh, I dunno. I think I'll reopen this. Doesn't seem fair to everyone else if only us two are allowed to post in this...

Setting all horribly inappropriate jokes about flip-flopping and John Kerry aside... Before you try to do anything funny, you have to study your audiance. After alll, feminists don't like sexist jokes and people in the third grade won't understand the humor behind Finite Simple group(of order two) by the Klein Four group. (Our equivalence was stable, A principal love bundle sitting deep inside- But then you drove a wedge between our two-forms, Now everything is so complexified... When we first met, we simply connected, My heart was open but too dense, Our system was already directed, To have a finite limit, in some sense... I'm living in the kernel of a rank-one map, From my domain, its image looks so blue, 'Cause all I see are zeroes, it's a cruel trap; But we're a finite simple group of order two)No one really knows who you are, and the statement about always being cooler makes it very easy to see you as a scornful egotist. Even with the lunatic poll statements. Besides, anything that has to do with popularity, coolness and self-worth is shacky ground to begin with. For the same reason the British didn't put nuclear landmines in Germany during the cold war: It's not politicaly appropriate. The other proof still applies.

Well, at least I know Tom was trying to be funny... I've studied attention-seekers' behavior quite a bit, and I can tell you they never make jokes about themselves. They take every step possible to prevent others from making fun of them too, all the time (everything they do has to be "cool" and all...). So I know that a real attention-seeker wouldn't have put such ridiculous poll options.

Hey, I'm sorry if I offended anybody with this poll, okay? I was just trying to be funny. You guys are cool too. It's okay, but you can't go around boards saying you're cooler than everyone else. It's all about first impressions, once everyone becomes accustomed to way to act, maybe then this might've been more acceptable in the first place, after all, you closely resemble Yoshiken Draconi anyway, but he did wait before acting all arrogant and retarded.

Hey, I'm sorry if I offended anybody with this poll, okay? I was just trying to be funny. You guys are cool too. yeah, you should wait before doing stuff like this. Wait until everyone knows you like to joke, then it'll probably be a lot funnier to post something like this. Now that you said it was a joke, I get it.
