When you’re truly cool, you don’t actually use sunglasses to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Nothing conveys that better than movie posters from the ’80s and ’90s, as virtually every protagonist went with this look to promote their film. We’re not saying it didn’t work; it’s just bad practice. I mean, why even wear them at all, then?

If you couldn't tell by his photo, dignity flew out the window long ago for Cory. But that just means that nothing is off limits, making him the perfect fit to write for Mandatory. Hobbies include: eating pizza, thinking about going for a jog today, writing memes that no one finds funny, and wondering what life would be like if he'd actually put forth the effort to make something of it 10 years ago. He also owns two other hats (not pictured).
