Whoa! I had forgotten all about the “mood charts” we used to hang on our dorm doors. Mine had colored regions using highlighters. Not sure I’m entirely pleased to be reminded… that was an uncomfortable part of my life.

Do you think he’ll be in a better mood tomorrow?

But Rat, it’s a holiday!
mr_sherman Premium Member almost 5 years ago
Yeah, that looks about right.

That’s what Rat gets after a quadruple shot of espresso with a triple shot of Irish Whiskey.

Avoid Rat everyday .

Avoid Rat every day of the week.

Probably safest to avoid Rat most days of the week, actually….
CarlHeckman almost 5 years ago
So … Rat’s in his best mood early in the morning? I don’t buy that.

Typically someone has to anchor the curve; atypically the anchor is the product. However mood is not asymptotic and can become negative.

You’d have to be fairly obtuse not to know that triangles are our friends…

I would think this would be more of a hyperbolic curve.

Probably one of such days that inspired Pythagoras.

Is Rat getting advice from Garfield?

At least one part of his Monday was up. That puts him ahead of a lot of people!

The real tragedy is that the scale starts up top at zero.

Why pick on Mondays? Just avoid Rat.

Considering the time scale on the bottom, I’m surprised the triangle isn’t thinner.

I am shocked that the 7 a.m. mood rating is so high. Certainly doesn’t apply to me.

Goat has the right angle on Rat.

Should avoid Mondays period.

You don’t have today off? Then I’m surprised the graph started out so high!

Avoiding Rat most days is probably good advice.

Avoid Rat on any day that ends with a “y”.

Some folks would say avoid Rat any day. Rat is an acquired taste. Not everyone understands his lovely misanthropy….

I, too, was confused, goat. I thought that rat was drawing right triangles as he usually does. Y’know. Getting a little wild.
