Are You A Badass?

As regular listeners know, we here at Thunk Tank are committed to saluting the badasses and feats of badassery that make this world a more interesting place to live. Some listeners may be confused, however, as to what exactly makes an individual or a particular accomplishment badass. In order to clarify the criteria by which we evaluate candidates for This Week in Badassery, and to help listeners determine whether they themselves are badass, we’ve created this simple quiz. Just answers these six questions and total your score at the end to determine whether or not you are a badass.

 

1. Have you recently done anything?

A)   No

B)   Yes

 

2. Did you do it on purpose?

A)   No

B)   Yes

 

3. How much skill did it require?

A)   A couple minutes of mental preparation

B)   Weeks of focused practice

C)   Years of dedication to refine my craft

 

4. How scary was it to do?

A)   Butterflies in my stomach

B)   Shaking in my boots

C)   Peed my pants

 

5. How dangerous was it?

A)   Paper cut

B)   Broken bone

C)   Death

 

6. How bad did it hurt?

A)   It didn’t

B)   A little bit

C)   Excruciating

 

Congratulations, you’re finished! Now give yourself one point for every question answered with an A, two for every B, and three for every C, and total your score. All done? OK, you’re not a badass. Badasses don’t do quizzes to determine whether or not they’re badasses. They’re too busy drinking rot gut and climbing mountains and swooping in wearing wing suits to save old ladies from rabid grizzly bears. If you really want to be a badass put down that pencil and go learn some kung fu or wrestle a shark or something.
