Now That Lars Larson Says “Cool,” I Better Pick Another Word
I was flickin’ ’round the Comcast digital cable lineup today when I unintentionally landed on the tv simulcast of fright-wing conservative talker Lars Larson.
Carried on Channel 14, the transmission also shows the breaks that Larson’s radio broadcast does not carry.
During one break, one of Lars’ producers tells him of a guest he has booked for tomorrow’s show.
And then I heard an exclaimation that may force me to drop a word I use from time to time.
“Cool,” Lars says, off-camera.
It is then that I realized that Lars, a man who stands for pretty much everything I don’t, just said “cool.”
Lars, you don’t know “cool.”
Lars, you are NOT “cool.”
Guess I’ll have to pick another word.
Can’t go with a word from hip-hop. Those words don’t have a long life span.
Hmmm. Has enough time passed so that “groovy” can be recycled again?
I never stopped saying groovy. But then, I’m so uncool I’m approaching cool from the back side.
