The Ugly: The Pizza vending machine making all the racket has a big screen, big enough that the letters: "Foreign body detected in pizza recipe." are prominently, and nauseatingly displayed.

The Good: The two agents come out of the room, both munching away merrily on their own Pizza and the one says. "We have a vaccine for that."

The Bad: They see you finishing-up the slice you took from them, smile and say, "Too bad you don't."

The Ugly: You're sincerely....most personally....regretting in the partaking of said pizza.

The Bad: This opportunity also implies being sent into a special hospital where you are put into quarantine and watch over day and night by concerned physicians.

The Good: Your tomatoes won a ribbon at the State Fair.

The Bad: The judges failed to notice it, but your tomatoes are infected with Colletotrichum coccoide, a fungus that causes ugly spots that grow and darken and eventually produce spores that ooze from the blackened, rotting fruit and contaminate the environment.

The Bad: The "map" is a 4-foot square yellowed sheet of paper with crumbling brown edges and a large red "
X" in the center. Above the "X" is the legend "The Treasure Is Here."

The Bad: It's a well-written poem by Baudelaire. Why bad? Because it is the most depressing stuff he ever wrote.

The Bad: When your head clears, you realize you are in a tent filled with acrid smoke. You open the tent flap to discover you are in middle of the
Brazilian rainforest.

The Ugly: You were left with nothing else than your clothes. Guess is they wanted to clean evidence. Also you feel very thirsty, your canines seems longer than usual and you no longer feel the beating of your heart.

The good: You are now a vampire, a lord of the night, a no-life king.

The Bad: You can't even get a date with Kristen Stewart.

The Ugly: You found out where she lives and pestered her for a date so many times, she got a restraining order against you, which you violated this morning.

The Good: You finally got to be in the same room as Kristen Stewart.
