How You Can Be Cool

How tacky is it when someone says “Hey, you wanna see a picture of my kids?” and then whips out an iPhone and pinches and scrolls their way through a bunch of jpegs?  Pretty tacky.

A real picture, now that’s cool.

Whether it’s a photo of your sweetheart, a sailboat, or an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, it just means so much more if it’s weathered and folded with some writing scribbled on the back.  You can kiss it good night before you go to sleep, and, if the object of your love betrays you, you can pin it to the wall and turn it into a dart board.
