Strike and Turkey

I had just finished reading Adam #1's blog about the writer's strike, which includes a fantastic video you should all check out, when the following conversation ensued:

R: I know smoking's bad and all, but some people just look cool with a cigarette hanging from their lips.
B: No way. No one looks cool.
R: Some do! Not everyone, just a select few. Like that hot guy off of CSI - he was just smoking in this video clip and he looked cool.
B: I don't agree.
R: Oh yeah? What about James Dean?
B: (silence)
R: (sitting smugly, having just proved a point)
B: Yeah, I guess....kind of like that one singer every one's crazy about right now.
R: (blank look)
B: You know, the bad boy one....
R: (confused look, racking my brain for singers who may smoke)....John Mayer?
B: No, not him! You know, the one who's dead...
R: (still confused) Johnny Cash?
B: (losing patience) No! The one you can never understand!
R: Bob Dylan?!
B: Yes! That one!
R: Yeah - not dead. Nice try, though.
B: Well, whatever...he looks cool with a cigarette.
R: Exactly.
