NOW THAT WE’VE GOT THAT SHIT OUT OF THE WAY
Blown |blōn|: is a derivative of the expression to “blow up” which is defined by Urban dictionary as:
“To become famous, successful, and respected usually within a small amount of time.Tarentino worked in a video rental joint before he made Reservoir Dogs and blew up.“
(Sadly Urban Dictionary had no definition for the word ‘blown’ as it will be used in this blog. We kindly request that they get on our level or risk staying <60% blown)
And just WHAT do the percentages mean?
Well per Isaac Newton what goes up, for damn sure go’s down. With that we can clearly say that that which is famous could just as readily become INfamous. The blown percentage is a direct reflection of this truth. The subjects of the blog will be given a blown percentage based on the status of their being. The percentage may go up or down based on deeds or society’s need for their existence. Which ever is more pressing. Example (s):
Subject: Levi Johnston (Sarah Palin’s grandbaby daddy)
Percentage Blown: 75% (circa 10/20/2008) ^ 0.1% (circa 10/20/2007)
Subect: Michael Jackson
Percentage Blown: Eternally (yes, he’d be eternal even if he hadn’t died (based on the Thriller album), however death does guarantee Eternal blown status)
Well, I hope you understood this. If not, there is a good chance you’ll never blow beyond 45%.
