Are theme parties where everyone has to wear the same color still cool, or not?
I will wear what is asked of me if I go to the party.	No!	Either way... (you can) go outside your comfort zone (or) come as you are.
Should movie theaters be able to serve alcoholic beverages?
Absolutely!	No. If you're going to drink, you should do that either in a place where everyone's doing it, or in the privacy of your home.	No, because, obviously, minors are there, and it keeps it as a family-entertainment kind of place.
Is there ever a right time for a man to wear a thong?
Never!	No. I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem that it's right.	Absolutely not. Leave it to the ladies. We're built for thongs. Men, I'm sorry to say, no!

Barometer of Cool appears on Saturdays.
