The Storm Is Coming, Guy from Michigan
A storm's a'comin'. Too many apostrophes. Too much folksiness. I
don't have a down-home way of speaking. Some people do, and that's
nice as long as they're saying things I want to hear. Once a guy from
rural Michigan told me that I sound like a dictionary. A dictionary, of
course, does not speak unless you waterboard it, but I don't think that
guy meant it literally. I think he meant that I sounded uncool.
Additionally, I failed to wear my baseball cap backwards. That was a
sad day. But a storm is still coming, a tempest, a low pressure front, nature's fury (nature:
an abusive mother). It will have a way to make everything equal.
Being uncool will not matter, if it ever did.

Being cool or uncool is all a matter of opinion. I think you're super cool, even with all the apostrophes.
Sounding like a dictionary is better than sounding like you've just inhaled a lot of helium.
It's uncool outside right now. So uncool.
Y'know how weathermen will get excited over changes in air pressure, hype a big storm for weeks, get everyone to go buy bottled water, and then the storm turns out to be a flurry?
I don't like it when they do that.
The flurries are ok, though.
I think you're pretty cool.
sybil - then I'm going to start the Super Cool Club.
jorg - Yes, if you sound like that but haven't just inhaled a lot of helium, I find that true.
Rassles - Rassles! Oh my god, the perspiration!
LXI - That's one of the reasons I won't call them meteorologists. You gotta earn that title.
SG - Thanks. I only believed that guy for a couple years.
