Let’s play a little game. It’s called cool or not cool. You be the judge. Rank the following four scenes from one to four, with one being the coolest and four being the worst. I am sick of hearing my own opinion, so let’s hear yours. And anyway, I cannot decide which of these is the worst.
All of these are true, based on people I recently have spotted on the streets.
1. A very manly man walking two pitbulls. Manliness is evidenced by an exaggerated swagger and the fact that he is wearing head-to-toe camo. Except the shirt is a different color and pattern of camo than his pants.
2. Two women in the 50s to 60s walking their dog. Sort of. The dog is in a stroller. The dog is bouncing and barking, obviously active, so not handicapped.
3. Another very manly man. This one is wearing shorts sagged so low that they look like capris, and they actually land right below his butt cheeks in the back, exposing bright blue boxers. He is shirtless, but wearing a backpack, which is securely fastened across his chest and around his waist in case it… uh… in case something.
4. Three elementary-aged girls pulled something around town by three pieces of twine. Upon closer investigation, the object they are pulling is an infant tied to a skateboard.
Oh, where is your camera when you need it most?

I witnessed the Camo man. His camoflauge really stood out. Ironic.
Everything listed above sounds dangerous.

I just shuttered. Again. 4 isnt funny. 1 is ridiculous. 2 makes me angry. and 3 is just wow.
from worst to less worst i rank them as follows.
4123. And then there is 5. The 3 year old playing on TOP of a very tall suv.

1 = 3, 2 = 4, 3 = 3, 4 = 4. Sorry, I couldn’t rank of any of them as even resembling cool.
I must have a slight bias toward men being able to, uh, express their manliness? Personally I never bought into the fashion trend of expressing my manliness by displaying by boxer-covered butt, but the backpack chest strap exudes mountain man appeal….

4, 4, 4, 4. There’s no other way.

I would have to say Camo man - but then again, I did see camo man. And he was special!
