Quantifying actions

It’s interesting how the Chicago Cycling Club quantifies speed into categories.

  • Social: 12 to 14 mph
  • Touring: 14 to 18 mph
  • Training: 18 to 25 mph

How about when you are watching a baseball game at the park? How can you quantify your level of attention? Or maybe level of rowdiness. For some it may be the number of beers.

  • Slight yelling: x to x number of beers
  • Falling over rows to retrieve ball: x to x number of beers
  • Streaking across field: x to x number of beers

But I don’t drink at ballgames. Hmmm, is there other ways to quantify the watching of baseball? Or how about level of baseball fan.

  • Fan: 1 to 2 articles of clothing related to team
  • Nut: 2 to 3 articles of clothing, plus baseball mitt
  • Psycho: 3 to 4 articles of clothing, plus mitt, plus facepaint.
