The Rating System post. We all know that it was a complete lie. Karl loves Ella, all those cat punting pictures are just a show.
Ella may be a bit of a diva, possibly a little dramatic, a thorn in my side and a lemon of a cat but she's also really sweet and wonderful, just like the Bee. I've been trying to come up with a detailed explanation of why Ella should represent "good" instead of "not good". I haven't come up with anything yet . . . (have you met Ella?) but my brother sent me his opinion on the rating system and how it should work. I think he really makes a great point and I wanted to share it with everyone, especially Karl:
Hey I know the food blog is your and Karl's thing but I had a thought to run past you.
I have a counter suggestion for Karl's restaurant rating system. You know how I like dive bars more than upscale ones so perhaps the Beetle/Ella measurement system could be modified to a measure of ambiance. You know cause dogs eat anything including their own poop, they would be happy in a dive bar. Cats are so fastidious that they are constantly cleaning themselves and are finicky about what they will eat and thus would be like eat at a really nice place with white tablecloths. I know this would help me find be able to find a drinking establishment easier based on these ratings. Basically I would be looking for the place with three Beetles and a good beer selection :)
Thanks Simon! Very well thought out!
On a side note, I kind of like Jason's idea. One Paco for a superior rating.
Ha! Good advice. However, I have to challenge the idea of cat cleanliness. They pretend to be clean, always licking their paws and rubbing their arms over their heads. But let's remember: they can really only get to about a quarter of their body that way. If I bathed like that my head and arms would be clean, but my back and my legs would be covered in a mucky filth. And cats hate water, are seldom in the rain, and generally think too highly of themselves to notice their own stink.
