I don’t have scratch n’ sniff stickers, but your grading scale appeals to me (and also repulses me). I was thinking: no grades. Grade yourself. Use this scale, people, or create your own, like micbk has done. And although the syllabus above might sound like edumacated talk, it’s really meant in the spirit of fun and exploration–it’s really just a New Year’s Resolution for me/from me.

Thai Food – A
Good Smelling Lady – B
Strawberry – C
Men’s Cologne – D
Anus – F
Toenail – F-
