|Creative      |     X
|Destructive|                        X

That gives us Adverbs down the side and Verbs across the top:

Destructive Creation
Chaotic Creation
Ordered Creation

Creative Destruction

Creative Chaos
Destructive Chaos

Creative Order

Maybe something like that?

This should obviously be a Venn diagram. Do not underestimate the power of overlapping circles!!
I posted that so hard.

OK, can we flesh any of these out with examples then?

Destructive Creation - The creation of something that's sole purpose is to destroy. So a nuclear weapon might fit here... but a solar toilet would not, since while it destroys biological matter, it creates compost.

Chaotic Creation - Perhaps accidental creation like vulcanization, the invention of LSD; or the PD since it began as a bunch of random notes, memos and flyer jokes, but created a lot more than that incidentally.

Ordered Creation - Factory products, Jewelry (cutting stones, fittings etc)

Creative Destruction - The eradication of invasive species through creative means; Perhaps pranks like TPing property or egging a house?

Chaotic Destruction - The end of the Roman Empire; Accidentally dropping my favorite pair of sunglasses and then stepping on them?

Ordered Destruction - Book Burnings

Creative Chaos - GASMS; Pennsic; Burning Man; Mosh pits at a concert?

Destructive Chaos -  Bull in a China Shop (except Mythbusters disproved that meme...)

Ordered Chaos - My desk at the office; my house; herding cats

Creative Order - Mythbusters; Lab environments; Invention through process

Destructive Order - The Bush Administration

Chaotic Order - Kim Jong Ill's Administration



Just some quick ideas...

Interesting.  I'll think of some examples myself and get back to you.

Bebek Sincap Ratatosk

An example, perhaps of creative order?

Very creative example of extreme order?

Yup.

I still think the blonde is hotter, tho.

It's the tattoos.

I can't recall the blonde at the moment, but the redhead is a hot little number.

Again we see the superiority of Israeli culture! In Israel, they say "an elephant in a china shop". Clearly, the Israeli meme is moar gooder than the puny Anglophone strain!
