The Rating System

A note to our audience: Our nature as insane, crazy people has led us to create a logical, but perhaps confusing system of rating the bars and restaurants we happy hour. In this post you'll find both our criteria for rating and the system itself, complete with explanation of the crazy. As always, we appreciate feed back about our system, especially if you, a completely sane person, can detect any oversight in our part.

Criteria:
Our rating will be based off of a number of categories that will be rated numerically, zero to three. Zero means it was a complete shit storm; three means we won the mouth lottery. Each category will be added up to equal one sum. The sum will then be translated into crazy person speak, because numbers are for nerds. If you are a nerd, you'll appreciate our inclusion of your mathematical friends.

Categories:
Price
Atmosphere
Service
Taste
Beer Selection

I'm not going to explain these categories. If you need them explained to you, you are a nerd. Go do some math.

Rating System:
A score of 0-3 is what we like to call a complete SHIT SHOW. Steer clear unless you want to go home with hurt feelings and explosive diarrhea. 4-6 is still cause for concern, hence the name CONCERNICUS. You won't get the runs, but you probably shouldn't test your luck. Next is 7-9, Mr. Mediocre or MEH. Then, 10-12 which is cause for celebration. For you Willy Wonka fans, we've titled this category SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS*. Finally, the Holy Grail of happy hours, 13-15 simply titled LOTTERY.

Look for our future posts complete with pictures, because let's face it, nobody reads all the words in a blog. Frankly I'd be surprised if you've read this far. Maybe pretty pictures will entice you. And if you need no enticing, you're probably a nerd.

*A note about Willy Wonka: listen to "I've Got a Golden Ticket" without watching the TV and tell me Grandpa Joe isn't a freaky pervert.
