I am apparently cool now.

About time.

(Explanation: while at Target, I overheard a bunch of what I'm guessing are college freshmen discussing an emo album. I made a comment that demonstrated I knew what emo was, which impressed them mightily. We parted ways. Shortly after, I passed them dissing Eberron, the D&D setting, and I pointed out that at least Warforged were cool. Now they were agog. I decided to give them my 'geek business card', and when I opened my wallet, one saw my Hot Topic frequent buyer card (which I've used exactly once so far). I was at that point proclaimed the only cool adult they'd ever met. Heh.)

You may be cool, but they also called you an adult. Who wants that? :-)

I've got one of those Hot Topic cards. I bougth maybe 40 dollars (4 stamps) worth of merchandais (Adult Swim action figures) but the guy stamped it like 8 times. We had done invintory at his store the night before and I think he liked us.

They were obviously unwashed heathens if they were dissing Eberron. Did you apply unto them the brain worms?
