1) Speaking foreign languages fluently. When it comes to ordering in an upmarket French restaurant, Casey's not entirely wrong. When it comes to watching German copshows in the office because he's the only one who gets the jokes -- it's not cool.
2) Magnetic notepads for fridges. Casey thinks they're a great idea and highly useful.
3) A developed understanding of the physical world around us (read: weather patterns). While knowing when to bring, or not bring, an umbrella is important for both health and appearance, a fascination with the Weather Channel will never become a sign of cool.
4) Compilation CDs, like "Time Life: Sounds of [insert decade here]'s". Danny hasn't bothered explaining that compilation CD's are always two degrees less cool than the most uncool song/artist featured on them. A handful of three cool songs drowning in a CD of misplaced nostaglia cannot hope to offset the uncool factor.
5) Polka-dot bowties. The logic that goes that if Dan -- a self-proclaimed authority on all that is cool and all that is not -- wears one on-air, they must be cool.
