+440 When you cross the road just before the little man turns green, you feel like quite the young radical, and half-expect that you'll look over and see some cool guy in a leather jacket nodding at you like "hey, we both don't conform to social pressures when it comes to safety, how rebellious we are", amirite?

I had to walk through a crosswalk every day last year to get to class and figured out the timing pretty quickly. I almost always walked before it said to, but I never felt cool about it.

That probably means you're so cool that it's insignificant to your overall coolness total. ...Actually no, it probably doesn't. wary

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Maybe since I did it every day my coolness went up so much that I stopped feeling it go up (like you said, it was an insignificant amount compared to how cool I already was) and I just forgot how cool I felt the first few times.

I don't know why your comment was voted down so much. "He did this action and didn't feel like that!? Disgusting beast...THUMBS DOWN."

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

It's because the post describes a feeling in a humorous way, and Blake took it seriously.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

This joke was also parodying the people who do do that, and Blake was clarifying that even though he does that, he doesn't get that feeling of rebellion. It was justified.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

It was justified, but there really was no point to announce that. He could have just thought that in his mind without the need to share, which would lessen the humor of the post to anyone who agrees, when they read the comments.

So I was with some marching band friends when we went to the Rose Bowl in January. We were all decked in our school's Oregon attire, and we were walking back from some grub when some real smart people decided to run across the street when the crosswalk was red... while a cop was stopped at the light. He get's on the intercom to say "You must be for Oregon. Go Badgers!" I still haven't forgiven them, but at least we won the game!

Jay-walking and taking risks while crossing the street is so commonplace in my area that it can't be seen as cool. If they don't make it completely across, some people wait in the middle of the street (in between lanes) for their opportunity. If traffic is moving really slow, I've seen people just weave through the cars. If you wait patiently for a light even though there are no cars, that's when you should look around for a guy laughing at you.
