What is the Second Coolest Letter?

There is no debate that the letter X is the coolest letter in the alphabet. In fact, you pretty much can take anything and put the letter X in front of it and it immediately becomes much cooler; Games becomes X-Games, Men become X-Men, Box becomes xBox. Shoot, laundry becomes X-Laundry. You suddenly want to see what going on in the dryer? Don't you?

But if the letter X is the coolest letter in the alphabet, what is the second coolest letter?

W. One word: LAIR. It's not double U, it's double V.

Q. You have to admit, Q leads a pretty interesting life until you realize that it's always hanging around with the letter U. What's up with that. Is it a Bert and Ernie thing? I think Q has co-dependency issues so it's out.

Z. Now we are getting there. The problem with Z is that it's pretty cool, but it's never around. How many words start with the Z other than zoo and zebra. What like 3? It's like it's Willem Dafoe or something. And when it gets used in the middle of a word, there's always 2 of them. You got to stand alone, playa.

The answer is the letter Y. Why? you say. And I say exactly! What other letter is it's own question? A, I guess, if you live in Canada. But that doesn't count. They pronoun Z, zed.

Here is a list of the rest of the reasons that Y is the second coolest letter:
  • Look at the order of the alphabet. Y has X's back.
  • Sometimes it's a consonant, sometimes it's a vowel. Y goes both ways and doesn't let itself be labeled. That's hot!
  • And finally, it's basically the letter V, but with a wang.

If those reasons don't seal the deal, I don't know what will. If you think you have a case for another letter, I would like to hear it?
