Cool was in their vocabulary when they were under 30. I doubt that cool would bring out their ire. One thing I didn't hear at the show was, smoke pole, though.

I did hear "Smoothie" a couple of times, but didn't hear "Groovie".

Some how "cool" does not fit the rifles there, maybe if you under 30 it might.

Everyone one there was old, grey headed and bearded, cool is not in their vocabulary.

Oddly, I find it the opposite. I have no idea if "cool" is in the lexicon of under 30 crowd. I tend of to think of everyone who used it is pushing 40 if not 50 now, but it goes back much farther than that.

I thought the 2 Kibler Woods Runners I got to see in the white were pretty "cool", then again, I was 19 in 67 when I went off to the Army and the hippy movement was going strong in California but not around Ft Knox. It wasn't until I saw some "cool" crotch length miniskirts in England when I was working on a Huey at a small detachment at Burtonwood that I realized what was going on in the "world" and that I was missing out on it. I was stationed near Manheim Germany; the short skirts, hippies or "free love" hadn't gotten their before I left to go back home at the end of 69.

The word "cool" is ingrained in people my age, never to leave.

First time I got to see a Woodsrunner in person and immediately "cool" and a plethora of other words came to mind. The size and weight of that gun are astonishing. That completely sold me on buying a kit sometime this year.

Also I loved the guns Wayne Estes had on hand. So cool...

Everything Wayne does is cool.
