I found this on a web-site and I thought it was ultra cool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 1 Day

Here's How:

1. Get a pair of Blues sunglasses. You know the style. Glue them to your face and wear them 24/7.

2. Amass a wardrobe exclusively of white dress shirts and socks, and black pants, jacket, and shoes.

3. Tattoo your name on the outside of your fingers. Spelling doesn't matter.

4. Listen to great Chicago Blues Artists like Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, and Hound Dog Taylor.

5. Your culinary choices must be limited to four fried chickens or dry white toast. No substitutions!

6. Trade in your car for a good microphone.

7. Buy a retired surplus police car. Loudspeaker is optional.

8. Always run from the police.

9. Charm a homicidal gal to fall in love with you, and then dump her.

10. Hang out with old Blues Masters/Janitors.

11. Stop at absolutely nothing to help a charity.

12. Get up with God and find out your mission.

Tips:

1. Don't try to talk in a cool tone. Talk like a cop.
2. Always have a harmonica handy.
3. Attempt to be cool.

I think the "no smiling" and "look mean" were advices to Mac (John Goodman) in BB2K

Well The one with god I can't do you see:BB: now I am on a Mission from God's

Elwood-leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled, digitally sampled techno grooves, quasi synth rhythms, pseudo songs of violence laden gangsta rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine, soulless slush.
