Our friend XUP is all over the blogosphere these days and is even back to blogging. Last week, she posted two excellent pieces, one on how to be cool over the age of 40 and another on how to live to be much older than 40.
Today I am taking a break from the smoking and drinking XUP recommended, from my quest for an RNDP and from wooing Ms Twain, to bring you:
A handy table that shows how the ESIs stack up on XUP's coolness indicators

Notes- Aggie has a laptop and a cell phone, but doesn't know how to use either very well.
- The IO has a Blackberry.
- CS says she's in a band. Her bandmates are not so sure.
- 4D actually says "in my day" on a regular basis.
- Coyote: "***BLAMMO*** I'm on my butt with my tail smokin' and my ears ringing. You figure out which side I take".
- Unless you think 4D's limp-hop-stride is cool.
Obvious conclusion: If I am negatively cool, that means I am hot.
