Good idea. Nothing says "great prank" like a flaming toilet.

Using said toilet right after the cherry bomb has gone off.

Neutral: The people staffing at said public place will get peeved but there is no shame in having your sewage waste spill out everywhere using the dysfunctional plumbing. Just don't get caught: the poor guy who has to clean that up may whoop your ass.

(BTW I was more talking about it going kaboom in the sewage pipes while it had already been flushed since its lit fuse is typically waterproof)

Buying a game cartridge of a good ROMhack for your old game system.

Neutral: What's the point?

Neutral Idea. You can buy those?
Yes, but they are frightfully rare and can be quite expensive. Bought Mega Man Ultra for a friend, and while I was waiting to see him again in the meantime I played it the whole way through on my NES.

A celebrity DeathMatch of ICP and Marylin Manson.

Bad idea. That's hardly a fair fight.

Microwaving meth.

Excellent idea: It's always funny to watch an addict freak out over it.

Pouring some sugar on the floor for a coke addict friend of your roommate, after he's been searching the same 2-level 3'X3'X1' shelf for 3 hours straight, relentlessly looking for his lost coke. That actually happened to a friend of mine in Lake Tahoe in 2007-2008--too bad I don't have the video link cuz it was f***in' funny as hell. He gathered it up, put it in his crack pipe and smoked it, then said it smelled and tasted like cookie dough. Then he asked if he could crash there which they firmly denied and kicked him out. :xp:

Great Idea. Someone would get blown up and shot at the same time.



Combining different parts of a Geth and HK-47 to make a new kind of killing droid.

Good idea, we need more sadistic killing machines.

Good idea, if you've got protection to keep the hot and sticky mob from overwhelmining you. You'd be a local hero of sorts. Bad idea if you're just taunting people.

Actually having an artifical eye that gave you both 10-10 vision and 2Xed as a flashlight.
 Hallucination
07-24-2011, 10:04 PM
#1561
Decent idea. They vision would actually be a downgrade for me, but the flashlight bit might be useful.

Have an artificial nose that was actually a Geiger counter but didn't replicate your sense of smell.

BioWare replacing Jennifer Hale with the worst voice actress in Canada for Mass Effect 3.

Hilarious idea: she *must* be horrible because all my search engines just had errors when looking up the query "Canada's worst voice actress". :xp:

Beating a dead horse in every sense of the term.

Bad idea. That is both necrophilia and bestiality.

EA declaring all who do not use their Origin service "evil", and changing its logo to this:

Bad idea: Egotistical moves are often knocked by fans in the real world, and hard. At least if I know you anything as well as I think I do, Alk.

Bombarding rival colleges, covertly, with explosive urinals to boost the status of your own college.
 Hallucination
08-17-2011, 12:52 AM
#1570
Bad idea, if you want your college to get a better reputation, make something positive and not "At least our washrooms won't kill you."

Talking UBC chemical engineering students into following their mechanical friends annual pranks, only using bombs instead of cars.
 Alkonium

Bad idea. It's a lot easier to notice slip-ups with bombs, if you know what I mean.

Using properly encased and retrofitted heating elements from various devices as high power low resistance resistors for an old argon laser power supply.
 Alkonium
08-18-2011, 9:45 PM

Neutral. You said properly encased and retrofitted, but it's still a kludge.

Apple designing their next generation of mobile devices so that whenever they're plugged into a PC, that PC bursts into flames.

Good idea: the "microsoft sucks" crowd will be your best customers and they pay quite well. Also it'd make crashing some buttmunch's computer a snap since you won't have to write your own virus program. :dev11:

but it's still a kludge Perhaps, but all things considered I am talking about car-sized juggernauts more or less permanently affixed to the inside of a building for a time, and the stories of technicians keeping things practical and reducing expenses. :D [/quote]

Buying a Spyder-3 1 watt blue laser for its sleek lightsaber-ish looks (on top of all the other benefits that come with owning a device that can output 1 watt of coherent optical power).

Good idea. Who doesn't want something that looks like a lightsaber?

Superb idea, just make sure you don't use him as a future reference.

Saying you ran the entire Pacific region and oversaw 7 sites in a federal government agency when the only permanent employee in your department went on vacation.
 Darth Avlectus
08-24-2011, 2:33 AM
#1577
Bad idea: never underestimate a government's penchant for petiness or spite, nor its incompetence for regular tasks with total and blatant disregard for other people.

Superb idea, just make sure you don't use him as a future reference.

It sounds like you don't have any faith in his ability as a manager. :(

Unsure Idea. You might just piss them off and they could morph into crabs (and I don't mean like the seakind either). Then it would suck to be you.

Bad idea. That's a lot of collateral damage.

On your resumé, claiming that all your previous employers went bankrupt, or went under for other reasons, and that's why you don't work for them anymore.
 Hallucination
08-24-2011, 10:21 PM
#1580
Good idea, unless you work in the finance/accounting side of things or your prospective employer known for being superstitious.

On your resumé, claiming to have revolutionised the apiary industry, when applying to an IT gig.

It sounds like you don't have any faith in his ability as a manager. :(
It's not his managerial skills, it's the fact that no one will be happy to have been replaced by a guy with one day on the job.

#1581
Neutral idea. It's not relevant to the job, but it couldn't hurt.

Re-enacting every episode of Epic Meal Time with all the right ingredients, and then eating it all in one sitting.
 Darth Avlectus
08-24-2011, 10:44 PM
#1582
Neutral: first off it isn't necessarily good to lie on a resume but if you speak the truth then I suppose it's okay to add, second it depends on what the employer is looking for outside IT skills.

Calling Colgate consumer affairs because their toothpaste "made you feel like a piece of $#*%". (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53xADYQXbSQ)And) not expecting results.

A grand theft auto radio commercial idea: "accidents happen and we'll prove it". (for reals it was in one of those games)

Allowing and enabling Hallucination to use a jackhammer on the head of some guy who, instead of getting a shopping cart at the front of a grocery store, decides to yank it away from a little kid who was watching it for its mom for just a moment while she was digging through her purse for the shopping list.

Buying a company you have a grudge against, and then running into the ground with shockingly bad business decisions.
 Darth Avlectus

#1589
Excellent idea. I just wish I had the kind of money and power to be able to do that to the particular comanies I'm thinking of.

Making the last level of a 16-bit video game you produced after the song "Jack the world" by the band Gwar. (Refer to a recent post of mine in ahto, if you really care to see what I'm talking about. :D)

Good idea, especially if you want players to lose their minds.

Telling your significant other that you're just a figment of their imagination, in an attempt to break up with them.
 Darth Avlectus
10-08-2011, 4:18 AM
#1591
Good Idea. Your significant other just might take the hint when it becomes obvious you don't care what that person does contrary to the relationship, since you don't care either. Finding quality dates are hard enough anyways.

Great Idea: Being tipsy makes things a little more amusing that way. Plus you might get laid which I would hope is a good thing. (Let's try to keep it in a positive context! PLEASE!)

(Glad you approve!)

Microsoft calling the Xbox 360's successor the XXXbox.
 Darth Avlectus
10-10-2011, 3:44 PM
#1595
Neutral: While I wholeheartedly endorse a risque successor where XBL is now a place for you avartar's (ahem) interactions, that would tend to limit the audience it can reach to the age of consent demographic. Alienating customers is never good for business.

Installing dummy buttons on elevators, thermostats, and controls of public appliances and devices to give the illusion that people still control things when in reality it's all on timers.
 Alkonium
