Return of the Roungetable/Ratio Referendum Roundy



It's been a while. Let's talk.


We've all got a good handle on the now standard km:live ratio (mine sits at 99:1) at the moment. However I think there's room to grow on this front - is one ratio really enough to encompass all of our feelings at any particular moment? The answer is yes, (100:0).


Changa and I were discussing the ratio of meat to egg in our breakfast sammies this morning (80:20). They were disgusting. Can we have a ratio that describes how much we want to pull the trigger:eat more food? In that case, the breakfast Changa (pictured above) and I consumed this AM was a solid -80:20, whereas my delicious quesadilla for runch was closer to -10:100. You see how flexible this system is in describing how you feel about a certain meal; clearly the totals don't need to add up to 100.


Any other suggestions? WELCOME BACK ROUNGETABLE :)

  1. ate half of a subway club for lunch. bread was crustier than subway bread should be (i.e. it was stale), and the sandwich actually had too many jalapenos on it, if you can believe that. plus, i ordered a footlong and the dude did a terrible job slicing the sandwich in half, so i ended up having to rip it apart myself which led to the all too well-known situation where the meat hangs past the edge of the bread on one half but there isn't enough meat to go to the edge of the bread on the other half (a classic situation when dealing with nathan's hot dogs and wonderbread buns). -90:10.

  2. i had spicy chicken from duke, nice mix os spice led to an enjoyable meal but stringy kim chi made for some serious point loss in the end (-20:90). Overall i think the most telling ratio from my lunch today was the -60:110 production:aimless perusing of the internet in a conspicuously productive manner, this has since changed to a conspicuouly unproductive manner. KM is 95:5 now that the brog is back though, nice work TG>

  3. My KM ratio is just about to tick over from 99:1 to 1:99 as I start vacation in an hour. But, just one of many things that drove it to its current state so close to the edge is the fact that my meal ratio today is "undefined"- I don't often eat breakfast and managed to work through lunch, so I'm working on a lot of coffee.
