Shaun White is cool, but surely not cool enough to pull off posing on the cover of Rolling Stone looking like an emaciated Carrot Top clone. And yet it happened — showing once again that we don’t know know shit. Below are some of the highlights from his RS interview.

Here’s what he might do with his medal:

He could never take it off, eventually developing a medal-shaped tan line on his chest. He could use it as a backstage pass for everything in life: If a waitress ever hesitated to add eggs to his breakfast order, he could whip out the medal. Then the impressed waitress, White explains, would say, “I’ll see what I can do.”

And here he talks about getting a new nickname:

He feels like he’s ready for a new nickname, but he knows that by the international rules of sports and coolness, he can’t make it up himself. “I’d just come up with something bad like ‘Incredibly Handsome Man,’” he says, and then reflects for a moment. “Sir Shaun of Shaunalot.” His stare is completely deadpan. “If you wanna pick it up, that’s fine. I’m throwing out gold here.”
