Tragic Attempts at Being CoolYou say 'I'm cool, I'm no fool' but then you wind up dropping out of high school'. It was Melle Mel who said that, I swear down. THE Melle Mel, that's right.
This week's question is all about your tragic attempts to be cool (pictures welcome), or perhaps times when you've witnessed another's misguided attempt to be a hep-cat daddio. Share the shame, it might make you feel better.

Sometime in the early 2000s I was working in an office in Central LondonIn time-honoured office tradition people would email round pictures and stuff that amused them and at the time, one frequent subject of general derision was the classic "business in the front, party in the back" mullet. Now I thought this was a bit lazy and obvious, so I sent round a new meme reading "Anyone can make fun of a mullet, but it takes a real man to grow one" before showing up to work with my brand-spanking-new hillbilly haircut.
For a few weeks all was great - I had terrible hair, people openly mocked it and the natural order of things was preserved. But then I started to notice more and more people around Soho and Shoreditch sporting similar dos and before long magazines were predicting the return of the mullet as being fashionable. Horrified at the thought that people would think that I might actually be trendy, I went to the barbers ASAP and had it cut off.
