Only after e-mailing her your responce should you look at the responses that will likely follow. We don't want to unduely influence your personal responce.

If you don't want to email a responce you are still welcome to give your opinion to the question here.

Please do not abuse the trust she has placed in me, and that I have placed in Hatrack, by abusing the e-mail address listed. Its not her personal one anyway.

Dan, can I reccomend you alter her email address to make non-detectable by robots. I've had recent bad experiences with this.

Something like vradvan (use an at symbol) mail (use a period or dot here) ru and get rid of the spaces.

Just a suggestion.

... or else she might end up with the impression that viagra and home mortgages are what we consider "cool."

OK Ayelar, what did you send? I suggested "Ferris Bueller" as he had style, fought authority, and was a good guy.

However I then realized that cool could also mean emotionless and uncaring.

(ps, do the spacings help?)

drop all the spaces in the address. They are only their to disrupt spammers.

"Give some example (situation) from the movie or some book that a person (A woman or a man) behaves himself/herself in such a way that you can call him/her "cool"?"

Personally, I usually say someone or something is cool if they just did something really amazing, that surprises and impresses me. So, from a book or a movie.... Even though I didn't like the movie, I'd say the Keanu Reeves character from the first Matrix was cool after he dodged all those bullets, or after he finally understood how to do the martial arts thing and beat that Morpheus guy up in the practice room. Like, "wow, that was really cool."

Other people use it for different meanings, though.

Good luck!

I used Jean-Luc Picard because he maintains a sense of self-control, no matter what's going on.

Jean-Luc is so cool! *hearthrob*

I picked that scene in "Conspiracy Theory" where Jerry pulls a gun on the (sort of) FBI agent and he says "what did you do to my partner" and Jerry says "you've got a gun to your head and you're worried about your partner. You might be alright." I thought the agent guy was cool. It's similar to what PSI said, cool means you don't change who you are based on the circumstances. It was also funny when he pretended to be knocked unconscious.

Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke" is the essence of understated coolness. I loved how he earned Dragline's respect by getting up after every blow even though he was on the verge of getting killed; how he said he could eat fifty eggs because "it was a nice round number"; and how he won a poker hand with rags and commenting that sometimes nothing "can be a real cool hand."

My second pick is Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction. That scene when Willis had the chance to escape from the pawn shop but decides to go back for his mortal enemy Ving Rhames is the coolest movie moment of all time. Baseball bat? Good. Chainsaw? Now you're talking. Samurai sword? Sublime.

Dan, I think that fixes the problem. If a spammer can get a usable address out of that, they've earned it.

I was trying to pick a good scene, and I realized there are very few people depicted as cool who are truly admirable people. At least the ones off the top of my head are all minor criminals or delinquints at the least.

*ponders*

I got an error too. I did remove the spaces.

I chose something from our email d+d game.

"Slash tosses the flashban- I mean thunderstone at the guy who just hit him and says, “Catch.” He doesn’t expect it to actually go off, he just wants to get it out of his hand. He will then shift his axe to a two handed grip, enrage, and cut that guy into two separate, half sized guys."

This broke me up. Slashy is definitely cool.

That's what I have. If it doesn't work, well sorry. We tried.

MOther Teresa. Cool or not?

Is there a difference between "Cool" and "Admirable"?

Here is the message I sent; Hi, I'm a 42 year old male from Kansas in USA. I think the part portrayed by Russel Crowe in the movie Proof of
Life is cool. He is hired by a woman to help liberate her husband who is being held captive in a Latin American
country. During the process of locating and planning his rescue Russel Crowe falls in love with the woman (Played
by Meg Ryan). He takes many risks beyond normal to rescue this womans husband all the while knowing it will mean
that there will never be a future for him with her. That is cool.

Dan, surely you don't think I'm one-dimensional. I am new to the board and the majority of my posts have been on the smackdown thread but I really do have a life and pursuits outside of silly word games.
