-10 for questionable math skills!!

Questionable math--that is, if you assume that my baseline is 0...

What is the baseline? And why is it not the mighty zero?

Posted by: cml at June 7, 2004 05:24 PM

The baseline is a variable defined by a formula determined by:
1) My anticipation of seeing the film
2) My excitement in having seen the film
3) A random number between 1 and 100

Once I have that baseline, I add up my numbers, using math at least as accurate as the science in the film I just saw.
