Brunching Shuttlecocks! - The Book of Ratings

SmedIndy · 02-12-2003, 09:51 AM

I bought the "Book of Ratings" on Amazon.com and found it hi-larious.

The author writes for "The Brunching Shuttlecocks" website.

http://www.brunching.com/speedracer.html

Here is his rating of characters on Speed Racer characters, which is also in the book.

Recommended highly for humor fans and people like me who rank and grade everything.

Very funny. I especially like his rankings of the Fisher-Price Little People.

Craig S. · 02-12-2003, 10:20 AM

Those are great.

I was looking at his ranking of numbers, and maybe I saw an incomplete list, but how can Pi only get a C- and where is the ranking for e?

SmedIndy · 02-12-2003, 01:19 PM

If he does a numbers part 2 it will be in there - much like the Orange Cupcakes were on the second Hostess ratings!

Personally, I always though pi was over-rated myself. Too damn convienent. Sort of like the square root of 2. It's always an out.

I'm sorry, anyone that gives a Suzy Q a C-minus is not someone that I want to hear ratings from.............

I agree with the Suzy Q rating. Every try to eat one while wearing a shirt and tie and look dignified?

More bad news, Max - did you look at the Speed Racer Characters ratings in the original post? Racer X only gets a B+.

Max Power · 02-13-2003, 11:28 PM

Inexcusable.

As charter member of the "I was gonna choose Racer-X, but Max took him first" club, I concur.

Different strokes for different folks, Willis....

Something an old college professor said to me a few years ago: today's writers write more and more on less and less

After this thread, I am rather inclined to agree with him

PW - that's the brilliance - especially in this day and age of TMI.

How could any wrong that he did compare with that?" - John Sears
