The rules....

Before we go any further we believe that it is important to establish
some ground rules for what is required to make you classy by
comparison:

1. The person you are comparing yourself to must always be within your
age range, as it is only fair to compare yourself to your
contemporaries.

2. It is best to have an outside source confirm that the "unclassy"
behaviour is in fact worse than yours (a friend is often the best
source for this confirmation).

3. Comparisons must always be made in good fun; this blog was created
out of a fun conversation and is intended to create more fun
conversations.

4. Never be afraid to acknowledge that you are making other people
classy by comparison to you. This is an important place in our society
and you should hold your head high...but probably not too high.

Finally, let the comparisons begin.....

Three Shots of Inspiration and a Mixer

Our inspiration for this endeavour developed one lovely summer evening at our local Boston Pizza restaurant in the company of fine friends and fabulous fishbowls.

In point of fact, the combination of the patio, end of summer breezes, bright full moon, and cold beverages was very motivating for our brain cells – clever and fun ideas do tend to occur more when alcohol stimulates our neurons and synapses.

(We realize that alcohol is actually an inhibitor but please, just join us on this adventure already and remember – unlike the instructions you get at the amusement park, you are free to wave your hands around wildly outside of the ride. Figuratively of course.)

Aside from three shots and mixer in a bowl analogous of the home of a tiny, water bound creature, stories of a post-border voyage flittered in and out of conversation through the evening.

One story in particular drew our attention to the reality that even on our worst days – in behaviour, attitude, or state of dress or fashion – you can always take solace in the certainty that somewhere, someone else is in a worse state than you.

Unintentional though it may be, you are classy by comparison…
