Gratuitous randomness: Still got it

For most men, the depressing realization that they are no longer cool comes somewhere around the late '30s -- and while many just give up, there must always be those few brave men of oblivious overconfidence who ignore that fact, who stare boldly into the face of cruel father time and say, you may have taken the trends that once defined me, but I will hold onto them until they are cool again or I die, whichever comes first! Today, because it is they alone who keep the fan-club of REO Speedwagon alive -- and also because it's Wednesday, the day we bring you the best of our weird internets in a compendium of images loosely related to whatever topic we happen to come up with -- we honor those stout-hearted men: Men who still got it.
