a thread about cool guys named Al

[Cheswick2.0]

First, of course, there is Al Gore (this is my thread after all). Then there is his father who was a fiddle playing orator and all around liberal Senator from TN. Then there is Al the 3rd who shares the exact birthday of my second son, even the same year.

Al Sharpton is cool because he is a liberal black politician/preacher who I would rather listen to than any of the other candidates.

How about some other cool Als?

You are very cool. And you have the cool new house of which I still have not seen any pictures! :hi:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

3. That would be me

My middle name is Alan, and I am most definitely cool, in every sense of the word.

Trust me.

:evilgrin:

You Can Call Me Al

Paul Simon

A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

9. If you'll be my bodyguard

I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me

Very good song, I love Paul Simon.

[Kahuna]

5. My son is a cool Al...

His middle name is Allen. Me and my family call him Al or Allen. :D

His friends all call him by his first name, Greg. :P

[Cheswick2.0]

10. I prefer Al too

Greg is nice, but Al is better. My ex has the middle name Alan, but he isn't cool at all, probably because he never ever uses the name.

[Cooley Hurd]

7. checking in...

I'm an "Al" and what makes me cool? I'm a Democrat! :evilgrin: You had to ask?

[Cheswick2.0]

11. are you really an Al?

Or do you just play one on DU?

I am not really Cheswick you know.

[JVS]

8. Don't forget

Al Cohol.

[Cheswick2.0]

13. Pun Man!!!

We always need a good Punster around here. :hi:

[short bus president]

12. one of my best friends in HS

was nicknamed "Al," because he was always really f*cking white, and it was shorter to pronounce than "bino."

[Cheswick2.0]

16. I love the sense of humor of

smart-ass teen age boys.

[stanwyck]

14. My brother

Al (actually Alan). But we call him Al. He's a former Reagan Republican who voted for Clinton and Gore. Why the change? He's the president of a savings and loan and Bush I totally screwed the savings and loan business. Plus, he won't support a candidate who isn't for sane gun control. He's cool.

[Cheswick2.0]

15. Yup he qualfies

I am glad I only have one right wing brother and his middle name is Albert, he is cool too. He's just been in the Navy too long.

[Divernan]

17. Don't know his politics, but Al Pacino is sooooo cool.

But if anyone tells me he's republican, I will reluctantly stop considering him cool!

[mitchum]

18. Al Kahol was never at the Tube Bar whenever I called

[SOteric]

19. There was a physicist named "Al" Einstein

as cool as they get.

And "Al" Schweitzer... totally cool

Al Unser... quite cool and really, really fast
