101 Scale of Funny
(also “Numeric Laughter Scale”)
The 101 Scale of Funny is used in internet chatting and mobile texting to indicate how funny one thinks of a comment. It is based upon a variation of the common internet slang “lol”. The numbers “101” looks similar to “lol” and is therefore the basis of the scale. The scale has a top rating of “909.” Hence, any “humorous” comment can be rated 101, 202, etc. to a high rating of 909.
The “101 Scale of Funny” was developed by members of an internet gaming alliance named “TruWar” in the game “Evony.” Member “Bound4Hell” started a conversation one May evening of 2011 by saying; “You ever notice when people say “lol” they’re never “loling?” It’s a big lie.” Member “ox” replied, “We should come up with a better system. Maybe something with other acronyms. Like, maybe something like ‘twosf’ for ‘That was only slightly funny.” The members of the alliance tried several different acronyms, but nothing seemed to stick. Then “ox” says; “How about 101? It looks like ‘lol’.” Bound4Hell followed that up with; “Then we could use it as a rating system. Like ‘101’ and ‘505’.” Everyone agreed that it was a fun, versatile system to use to rate comments. Members of the ‘TruWar’ alliance used it from that point on.
Currently there is no negative scale of funny. There have been some suggestions such as " -101 " or "010," however these have not yet been implemented.

“Did you see Uncle Randy’s face when Uncle Steve’s pants fell down?? 808!” 101, 202, 303, 404, 505, 606, 707, 808, 909 is acceptable.

Get the 101, 202, 303, 404, 505, 606, 707, 808, 909 mug.Your tsunamis are incredibly heartfelt. You can feel the love you have her.❤️
I feel like I need to be honest. I have for years thought you are/were my him. The vagueness helps fuel my thoughts.
However, there are those days/ posts that give a little more detail. These little bits of detail reinforce I am not your one. For instance, earrings, telephone number, bed, sofa etc

Get the 909 mug.My Love
Every word you say is true to my heart. I see you in my thoughts, in every heartbeat, in the quiet rhythm of my being.
You live with me, within me, moving softly through my days and nights, touching places that no one else has ever reached
I feel your presence in the hush between breaths, in the warmth that lingers when I close my eyes.
When I think of you time dissolves.. it becomes only us.. our love, our laughter, our endless moments of passion.
I imagine your touch bound in matrimony, filled with desire, as you draw me near without needing permission day in, day out needy with want.. happy in presence of each other. Dirty jokes, honey strokes, lips tracing promises our souls whispered long ago. In the stillness, we find fire tender, fierce, unspoken. And in that fire, I am home, burning with you in eternal warmth.
Let me say and dont forget
I dont ever want to stop being with you, in every moment of life filled with love, laughter, peace, chaos, moments of yapping, falling into sunsets of silence with us always close by to touch a part even in this crowded world.
Always, in every breath, in every thought I am with you.
Every word you wrote in the past or now
is a vow for me and everything that holds 'Our' as a prelude is a blissful tune of ecstasy
I believe in you, trust you with all that I am and all I ever will be.
With you, I am whole. With you, I remember what forever feels like ❤️
