I love it when people have "who would win in a fight" conversations. You know the kind - "Who would win in a fight between Robocop and the Terminator?" or "Who would win a fight between Peewee Herman and Gilligan?" Etc...

But something that is always laking in those conversations is a proper, quantifiable, measurement of how much of a "bad-ass" someone or something is.

Toward that end - here is my BAQ (Bad Ass Quotient) System:

Fire Ant ---------------------------------------------------- BAQ = 1
Sewer Rat ------------------------------------------------ BAQ = 10
Chiwawa --------------------------------------------------- BAQ = 100
Drunk Redneck armed with a pool cue -------- BAQ = 1,000
Green Beret armed with a machete ------------ BAQ = 10,000
Silverback Gorilla ------------------------------------- BAQ = 100,000
Black Rhino -------------------------------------------- BAQ = 1,000,000
Tyrannosaurus Rex ---------------------------------- BAQ = 10,000,000

It would take about 10 fire ants to evenly fight 1 sewer rat.
It would take about 10 sewer rats to evenly fight 1 Chiwawa.
It would take about 10 Chiwawas to evenly fight 1 drunk redneck armed with a pool cue.
ETC...

Now we have a scale on which we can use to measure the "Bad-assness" of almost anyone or anything!

Here are just a few examples (the compleate list can be found here http://www.normandcompany.com/INDEX/BAQ.html):

Questions for all of you...

1) What do you think your own BAQ is? (Be honest.)
2) Who or what should I add to the above list.
3) Do you think I have too much time on my hands?

Chuck Norris ============================== ==================== 8,812 BAQ

Obvious mistake. Chuck should have a BAQ of at least 101,052,303!

[foxxymomma50]

I'd guess a Chihuahua, but there's no way in hell one chihuahua could take on 10 sewer rats. 3 or 4 MAYBE, but not ten.

My rating is top secret.

Obviously -- this omits Chuck's beard.

Chuck's beard alone would have a BAQ well of 200,000,000!
