A set of those cards with large black numbers on them like the ones they use at gymnastic events, which you can carry around in a convenient, belt-mounted vinyl case. Whenever you encounter something you're moved to rate---a swell-looking babe, a street musician, a particularly good or bad entrée, etc.---you hold up the appropriate card. This would be most effective in groups, natch. Can't you see it now?: Marauding bands of graphically-opinionated people terrorizing the sensitive populace. Not a bad idea, actually. Especially fun in bars.-- Ander, May 08 2003 (?) Score cards http://beta.ece.ucs...oadtrip/parsom2.gif [phoenix, Oct 05 2004] (?)
