Fuck off....Steve McQueen was the coolest biker! At least he rode/raced one!

Is it wrong that I admit I would've rooted Joni.....was that her name?

You've been watching too much Red Dwarf.

Anyine with affiliations to the Clan Cunningham is alright by me so I conceed that the Fonz is cool.

**riffer** · 29th January 2007, 07:46

Pete's right.

Steve McQueen was the coolest. Everyone else was just sitting around.

**Ghost Lemur** · 29th January 2007, 07:49

Third the vote for Steve McQueen. Wipes the floor with that looser and his canned laughter, fucking stupid Sitcoms.

Cool, in popular culture, is an aesthetic of attitude, behaviour, comportment, appearance and style. Because of the varied and changing connotations of cool, as well its subjective nature, the word has no one meaning. It has associations of composure and self-control (cf. the OED definition) and is frequently used as an expression of admiration or approval. A great deal of literature has been committed to understanding the concept of cool in societies. (linky)

The Fonz, some guy in his mid thirties with no job hanging around with a bunch of high school kids = Not cool

**HenryDorsetCase** · 29th January 2007, 08:33

Uh, no. That would be Steve McQueen, Mike Hailwood, Freddie Spencer, Kenny Roberts, or Dennis Hopper. * Honourable mention to Jack Nicholson, although he was only a pillion.

*or King Kenny Roberts, or Gary Nixon, or Giacomo Agostini, or Barry Sheene, or Edward Turner. In short, just about anybody other than some white bread TV fuckwit. Having said that, he did singlehandedly invent the phrase for when TV shows "Go bad"...i.e. they jump the shark: that first appeared in a crappy days episode.

the only cool thing about crappy days was the '55 Chev convertible, and the actual motorbike (a Triumph I think). and that perky chick with the gap between her front teeth. Although the perkiness was probably underwiring and stategic padding. trickery abounds.

*dont ask me how I know, OK, I just know.

Nah I dont think he (the FONZ) was in his thirties.
He was a high school drop out, but only by a couple of years.

In reality he still wanted to learn, but felt it was uncool...... but learnt more by hanging out with the nerd, Ritchie Cunningham.......... plus he had the 'hots' for Mrs Cunningham. All those other girls were just there........

Until Suzi Quatro appeared in the series...... and then he only had eyes for her.

Sadly Suzi moved on, and then he drooled over Mrs C again.....

AAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

PS: Fonzie did work...... He was co-owner of Al's and then he owned his own garage/workshop and he also taught at the local high school in the car maintence dept, showing the kids how to work on and fix their cars and motorbikes.

PSS: The other one who looked cool was James Dean.
