Cool...

From a very long, very interesting, and very cool Sunday Times Magazine article entitled In the Company of Ken. Be warned, the writer seems to quote Ken verbatim (although he doesn't use any quotation marks), in all his verbal glory. If you can handle the following paragraph (Ken's thoughts on the word "cool") then you've passed Conversing with Ken 101 (kids under the age of 18, please get your parents' permission before proceeding):

"Fucking cool, what the fuck does cool mean, fuck off to that word, fuck off (his voice gets louder and louder), let's take 5000 fucking words in the language and put 'em into this four-letter fucking blandishment, just fuck right off, find a fucking word, would you, find a fucking word that says what you mean... fucking cool... it means fuck all to me, ah Christ, but, as you know (he splutters with laughter) because you want to be cool, you think, oh, I'd better use that word then."
