Christopher Logic's Scale of...

As mentioned in the previous post, I just thought that I should clear things up by displaying the complete scale of "Best Words to Describe Something That Makes Me Laugh" or whatever I called it before. You see, I use certain words for particular reasons (as do we all) but the specific word I choose is not synonymous in my vocabulary as you will see. Well, here goes.

1. Hilarious - This means that I was laughing a lot
2. Really Funny - If I put an adverb (very, so, etc.) or adjective (very, incredibly) before the word "funny" I mean it. It was almost hilarious. (the previous sentence was relatively humorous to me as is this one)
3. Funny - When the word is all by itself it means I laughed or it made me chuckle and smile.
4. Humorous - That 50-50 kind of funny where it is really hit or miss.
5. LOL - I should probably make a post about this... but LOL means it was trying to be funny but no one's laughing. Usually gets a courtesy laugh out of me.
6. "I guess it was funny" or "I can see how it was supposed to be funny." - Longer terms, I know, but if I'm trying to tell the joke but I know I am/could/did slaughter it and I have to explain it again it means the joke landed flat on its face. Other people do this often too. When it was supposed to be funny and it wasn't, in other words.
7. Not funny. - This is literally what I'm saying.
8. Lame. - All the jokes were barely worth a courtesy laugh.
9. Not funny at all. - Usually means that it might have been funny if I wasn't offended in the process. Usually from dirty, vulgar or jokes that have swear words in them.
10. _________ - If I say nothing I really have no comment and would rather talk about something else.

And there you have it!

Relatively Humorous...

So I'm not sure if I've ever used this term around friends but part of my definition of the term "relatively humorous" will explain why such is the case. In Christopher Logic's Dictionary, when I say "I thought of something relatively humorous" it means the following:

1. I found it somewhat funny, and sometimes (but not usually) I'm the only one who thinks it's kind of funny while the rest don't understand why it's funny, find it more amusing that I thought it was funny, or they laugh too because it actually was relatively humorous.
2. Relatively contains the word relative (don't all shout Eureka! at once please) so I am implying that what I say is funny to those who are related to me.
3. Relatively in this sense means mid-level; unlike highly, very, etc.
4. Humorous ranks number four on Christopher Logic's Scale of "Best Words to Describe Something That Makes Me Laugh." (see next post for complete ranking)

Yup and yuppers.

Today While Driving...

So while I was driving my car today after school I suddenly thought of "frenzied monkeys" and changed the way I gripped the steering wheel (because, you see, I find driving to be incredibly boring). Instead of resting just one hand along the middle of the bottom section for all my driving needs like I usually do I decided to grip the wheel with the edge of my fingers (excluding the thumb) with both hands on the 10:00 and 2:00 positions. Where did the thought of "frenzied monkeys" come from? Your guess is probably better than mine.

Additionally, I found out that I can buzz my tongue in such a particular way as to tickle the insides of my ears to an unbearable amount (a similar sensation to those who are familiar with the "blowing raspberries with your lips" tickling your nose feeling). I was originally noticing that I can feel my teeth vibrate when I buzz my tongue when my teeth (notably the front two bottom and top) are firmly pressed together.

You Should Stack Your Carrots...

Whenever I have the option to put carrots on my plate I always stack them. And I have a specific reason why although it may be considered to be completely absurd. It has something to do with being optimistic and positive. When you stack your carrots you make a pyramid/triangle that is pointing up. Optimistically positive people are looking up regularly. An arrow that points up has a lot more places to go than an arrow pointing down that will crash into the ground soon after its departure.

Right? Right.

Power Outages...

This morning the power went out for like, a second.

Does anyone else remember when the power went out it would stay out for some elongated period of time? I don't think that's ever happened since I've been home from my mission (it might have somewhere else but at least where I've been it hasn't unless I've forgotten already). I miss running around the house trying to "reset" all the light switches to the off position and boy howdy do some of the light switches in our house need it!

Food I Love A Little Too Much...

Honestly, if I could eat anything everyday without any consequences it would be:

Breakfast: Cereal, Chocolate Milk and a Doughnut
Lunch: Cheese Pizza and a Salad with Gatorade/Powerade to drink.
Dinner: Root Beer, a Cheeseburger from Wendy's and Fruit Salad.
Dessert: Triple chocolate ice cream and cookies. YUM!

Seriously, I love some of that junk way too much for my own good!

Sonic's 20th Anniversary...

So here's a really random memory from like, 2nd Grade.

There was a time that we got to play with jump ropes during some kind of gym like period and for whatever reason I imagined Sonic being a special guest to our school and being shown on the news. Oddly enough I imagined him breaking all laws of gravity and jump-roping on the ceiling.

Well, I thought it was cool. Congratulations Sonic!

For Some Reason...

I'm not sure why but whenever I e-mail myself (sending myself a homework assignment, a reminder, or a file, etc.) I'm never the nicest guy about it. Not that I'm being a jerk to myself on purpose but like I said before, I really have no idea why I do this. The subject line and/or body text for the e-mail always consist of "Hey you!" or "Print this bozo!" or "Here ya go lazy bum!".

I don't know if I can change it though. If I started being nice to myself and wrote "hey there handsome!" or "you got this 'cuz you're a star!" I would find it incredibly absurd and maybe question its credibility. And if I just send the file blank I'll think I'm giving myself the silent treatment.

I'm probably the only person in the world who would think of something like this.
