A hand-drawn chart ranks things from “exciting to see in person” to not exciting, against whether they can be chased in a radio-coordinated convoy using instruments and data. Famous sights such as meteors, auroras, and favorite band shows score highly, while ordinary clouds, gnats, speed traps, and neighborhood possums score low. The joke is the absurdly serious logistics applied to chasing mundane phenomena, parodying storm chasers and enthusiast convoy planning.
