Kind of Cool

So I moved desks on Monday evening at work for various reasons. This time around I decided to put my computer on my desk. No one else here, that I know of, does this. Due to the placement of power outlets, usually the tower would end up cluttering up the space down below kinda awkardly, so I decided I wasn’t having it down there in the way anymore. It’s nice because I also now avoid having any cables near my feat to get tangled in.

So a co-worker walks by later on Tuesday and says “why is your computer on your desk?” Rather than waste my breath explaining any of my reasons for doing so, I just responded with “I’m just cool like that.” She of course then proceeded to question whether it could possibly be cool since no one else was doing it. What immediately came to mind was a Strong Bad e-mail… “just a different kind of cool. More of a ‘I’m so cool, you don’t even know I’m cool!’ kind of cool.”

It’s a classic. Some of you will remember it for “you smell like pea soup…”

STRONG BAD: What!? You didn’t think Senor Cardgage was cool?

STRONG SAD: No! He was extremely sketchy and gave me nightmares.

STRONG BAD: And… What’s not cool about giving you nightmares?

STRONG SAD: Oh, never mind. Go back to your creepy comb-over story.

Enjoy!

I even mentioned this Strong Bad e-mail to said-coworker. She didn’t even know what Homestarrunner was. I guess we know now who’s more likely to be cool…
