This one goes to 11

So,
This morning - while writing my last blog, I happened to drink nearly a quart of black tea sweetened with nearly a quarter-cup of sugar. This made me REALLY productive @ work!
Until it wore off. I don’t think I’ve ever had to concentrate so hard to sustain a simple conversation. Lesson Learned.

This being said, by the time I was on the bus riding home I was in this great sober-but-drunken state where I said a couple of the best statements to crawl out of my mouth in some time (mind, I do admit to being sober-but-drunken for the rest of the blog)

They were:

Oh, Possum! (I commonly use “possum” as a doppelganger to “awesome”)

And

“More fun than a sack of Haggis”

Imagine my wonderment when I got over speculating exactly how much fun was more than a sack of haggis, and started to speculate exactly how much fun was its opposite

That’s right. less fun than a sack of haggis. Possum, indeed.

I realized right then and there a 10 step scale-of-fun was needed for the goodness to be truly measured, and started composing in my little head what the 10 steps of fun might be. The item or thought needed to be specific enough to not need any qualifiers, for example while I would love to put Death at the bottom rung, it’s way to vague. Death by chocolate isn’t anywhere near as horrendous as Death by gas chamber. Death on stage is too subjective. Terry Pratchett’s Death is great. "Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey"'s Death is a chump. See what I mean?

With that, the list of fun from 1 (the least amount) to 10 (whee!)

1. Reading Heidegger
2. Crystal Meth
3. A Sack of Haggis
4. Being Single
5. The Quadratic Equation
6. The Legend of Zelda
7. William Shatner
8. Learning Ninjatsu
9. Senior Skip Day
10. Wall Drug
