I think I had one cool professor ever, he was a former punk guitarist who got an MFA and taught me creative writing, I don't think he wore Chucks.

My one cool one was half deaf in one ear from firing RPGs as a rebel back home in El Salvador. It was literally the first thing he told us about himself

came here to talk about this! glad to see someone else acknowledge it, I thought I had made it up. Also, Charlie Korsmo from Can't Hardly Wait is a law professor at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. Torts, I think.

Their syllabuses (syllabi?) are printed in Helvetica? What the hell does that even mean? Is this person Team-Serif-or-the-gallows or something?

My single Cool Professor was also by far the most centrist one I ever had. My actual coolest professor was a 55-year-old socialist from Ecuador who wore Walmart shoes, cheap t-shirts, and black jeans every day.
