Bad Idea: IIRC the wardrobe fell over and squished somebody...or so is the impression I got from gmod idiot box.

A hated cousin...
-dude has 4 sisters and all of them have a scar in the same place on same eyebrow from him getting pissed off and hitting them at one point
-dude always does something to get younger family members to hurt themselves for his amusement
-dude is not sorry and "doesn't have attitude", it's just your problem
-dude is 6'0" tall, 245 lbs, worked construction all his life, mid 40s, massive thick arms
-dude has brawled and can take 20 hits to the head that would knock out anyone else just like a drunk mexican
-dude is a know it all, and hits you if you try to disprove him

Taking police X-26 taser, prod him and hold it on for about 1 minute.
While he is incapacitated, taking a 15 amp angle grinder to his scalp, let it catch, and leave its trigger stuck on.
Kick him in the balls while he's down.
Walk away and let him save himself...I mean he's a construction worker afterall so he can handle himself even if the grinder wheel goes through bricks and steel.
?????????
Profit.

Good idea if it's a really slow day and you've nothing better to do or just likely a bloody good time.

Wrecking a Holiday Inn and and saying you're related to the late Keith Moon.

Good idea: Sounds like a contingency plan.

Connecting an electrolytic capacitor to DC power backwards.

Shockingly bad idea.......unless you're just auditioning for a role in a new Jackass movie.

Scamming a scammer.
 Darth Avlectus
03-27-2012, 5:09 AM
#1855
Only a good idea if you can out scam him...Otherwise a better idea would be to simply brain him.

Pissing off serious gamers.

Not generally a good idea unless you know they're your bitches no matter what you do.

Saying "what?" to Jules Winnfield while he's powerless to stop you.
 Alkonium
03-27-2012, 3:35 PM
#1857
Great idea. I love getting people frustrated like that.

Making Jules Winnfield say "What" several times, and then shooting him.

*guns ready* <PLAF! PLAF! PLAF! PLAF! PLAF! PLAF! PLAF! PLAF!>
Bad Idea: Nice try mothaf***ah.


Propping up Charlie Rangel as a model of ethical financial behavior.
 Alkonium
03-27-2012, 9:25 PM
#1859
Good idea, if you're taking the "What not to do" approach.

Shouting Wuld Nah Kest while atop the Throat of the World.

#1860
Experimental idea? I guess, if your talking about shouting the words and dashing to some other point in the game. I'm not really sure if it's a good idea or bad idea, Alk, since I'm not into the Elder Scrolls game. (but I have a feeling you've already done it, if that's what your talking about.)





Driving your speed boat in a circle as fast as it will go to create a whirlpool.
 Alkonium
04-08-2012, 12:58 AM
#1861
Bad idea. Odds are if you pull it off, you'll get caught in it.

Swapping someone's guacamole dip with wasabi as a prank.
 Darth Avlectus
04-08-2012, 1:44 AM
#1862
Good idea with discretion. I actually know of an instance or two of that happening.


Getting games specifically for teabagging other players. :devsmoke:
 Alkonium
04-08-2012, 7:47 AM
#1863
Neutral idea. Noone will know the difference, but it seems kind of like a scumbag thing to do.

Running in an election with the campaign promise of "Chainsawing the Red Tape".
 Hallucination
04-08-2012, 4:37 PM
#1864
Good idea. It won't lead to any real change, but it might make future political buzzwords more interesting.

Running an election campaign by challenging all your rivals in a marathon.
 purifier
04-08-2012, 5:09 PM
#1865
Good idea. That will also eliminate the hackers from the non-hackers. Leaders must be strong physically, not just mentally.






How about this: Also, as part of those election campaigns, making our canididates participate in TV game shows like Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune. Only the grand prize is not money, just votes for who has the most brains.
 Alkonium
04-08-2012, 6:29 PM
#1866
It has merits, but it also seems undemocratic.

A business where once a month, one randomly chosen employee is fired for no reason, regardless of their standing in the company.
 Darth Avlectus
04-08-2012, 10:12 PM
#1867
Bad idea: That kind of thing looming over workers' heads in today's western societies is rather counter productive.
Now if we're talking about in China, onthe other hand, I believe that is their MO.


Dousing Sweet Tooth's hair and beating the living crap out of him.
 Totenkopf
04-09-2012, 4:59 AM
#1868
Good idea......he desperately needs a beatdown (as do all clowns......esp of the @ss variety :devsmoke: )

Taking over EA and making them more customer/player friendly.
 Darth Avlectus
04-09-2012, 6:01 AM
#1869
Good idea. Just on principle.


Taking a piss in the boiler of your high school's boiler room on the last day of your senior year. (true story)
 Alkonium
04-09-2012, 10:59 PM
#1870
Good idea. What are they going to do about it.

Packing your workplace's microwave full of eggs, and setting it to run for 99:99 on your last day.
 Hallucination
04-10-2012, 12:12 AM
#1871
Depends on whether or not you mind burning bridges at this workplace. Or filling bridges with exploded eggs, if you want to get technical.

Wrapping your friend's car in saran wrap and painting it the most ugly shade of his favourite colour for his birthday.
 Totenkopf
04-10-2012, 3:14 AM
#1872
Neutral, actually, but sounds like a lot of work.

Paying an illegal $3 to do it for you.
 Alkonium
04-10-2012, 12:19 PM
#1873
Bad idea, especially if it's with a $3 bill.

Reading A Game of Thrones to children at a Daycare.
 Totenkopf
04-10-2012, 3:36 PM
#1874
Could be a good idea, but depends on how you do it. Kids aren't gonna remember a lot of stuff anyway (with their short attention spans and all).

Acting out scenes from A Game of Thrones to a hostage audience, er I mean a bunch of kids, at daycare.
 Alkonium
04-10-2012, 4:30 PM
#1875
Really bad idea. That's how you scar kids for life.

Buying ridiculous amounts of nonfunctioning video game paraphernalia (including consoles, cases, discs, cartridges, and controllers) in order to build the Throne of Games.
 purifier
04-10-2012, 5:11 PM
#1876
Sounds like a expensive idea, but hey...if you got the money, I don't see why not.




Creating a Red Forman club, where every new member has to recieve a foot up the ass for their initiation as a club member.
 Alkonium
04-10-2012, 7:29 PM
#1877
Bad idea. If that's initiation, I'd hate to see what reprimanding is like.

Touching MC Hammer.
 Darth Avlectus
04-24-2012, 3:31 AM
#1878
Good idea: History has proven MC was indeed touchable. At least in the records of rap sense...what you might be referring to might be a different story because I can never be too sure ...not with the likes of Alkonium.

Finding that chunk of meteorite that crashed near me.
 Alkonium
04-24-2012, 8:58 PM
#1879
Good idea. If it's dangerous, you'll then know where to avoid. If it's not, you'll know where to retrieve it from.

Mixing Decaf and espresso together as a substitute for regular coffee.
 Totenkopf
04-25-2012, 2:43 AM
#1880
Only a good idea if there's no more regular coffee.

Pantsing the principal during an assembly.
 Darth Avlectus
04-25-2012, 3:13 AM
#1881
Good idea, the suspension is sooooo worth it. Wow, never would have suspected an intellectual (ok maybe not a total intellectual, but compared with several people I know, you are) of wanting to do this.


Using a cracked broken plastic laundry hamper to try your hand for the first time at plastic welding with a plastic welding kit (http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/plastic-welders/plastic-welding-kit-80-watt-iron-67102.html).

Cheat:

I did it and I am not unhappy with the result. May not look pretty but it's functional once again and extend the life of what would be an otherwise worthless item. My only regret is not having a respirator and forced air evacuation...so I did it out in the driveway--some fumes just couldn't be avoided even outside. I give this product a good pass. Has its problems being so cheap, but part of the charm is the value if you can make it work! Nothing some tutorials on YT couldn't help.
 Alkonium
04-25-2012, 8:20 PM
#1882
Good idea. That seems safe enough.

Attempting to brew mead without any of the proper equipment, and resorting to stuff you'd find in a standard kitchen.
 Darth Avlectus
04-25-2012, 9:57 PM
#1883
Good idea: bah who needs all that fancy stuff when you can just make due? And even if it turns out tasting crap-ish, you can still say you tried your best with what was available to you. *friends' faces turning green as they choke and lay on the floor dying*


Bungee jumping like so: "What is a juggalo? A F___in' lunatic. Somebody with a rope tied to his ____, and then he jumps out a 10 story window."
 Alkonium
05-01-2012, 8:52 AM
#1884
Bad idea. There's a reason regular ropes aren't used for bungee jumping.

Sabotaging your business's competitors, and then bragging about it to your boss.

Depends on if you want to get a raise or not.


Starting a thread where you have to guess a song by a line in the song?
 Alkonium
05-01-2012, 11:43 AM
#1886
Tried that once. Didn't work out.

George R. R. Martin making Littlefinger a POV character in The Winds of Winter.
 Darth Avlectus
05-03-2012, 4:17 PM
#1887
Given what I could find out in a heartbeat and a couple of quick searches...Good Idea if you wish to put a twist in The Winds of Winter with some ill-equipped, (perhaps unfairly) not well-liked character. Sounds like it'd be interesting anyways.
(......forgive me but search results lead me in so many different directions at once......)


Making up your own horror villain and hiring him for protection because you're sick of fighting Jason, Freddy, Mike Myers, Chuckie, Leatherface, Hellraiser, Candyman, etc.
 Alkonium
05-03-2012, 5:58 PM
#1888
Bad idea. You'll just end up with one more to fight.

Having sex with your dead friend's girlfriend, on top of said friend's grave.
 Totenkopf
05-03-2012, 9:03 PM
#1889
That one could go either way for too many reasons to mention.

Doing his mom on his grave and then telling everyone you were Dath and that they should move along b/c there was nothing to see.
 Alkonium
05-04-2012, 7:01 PM
#1890
Bad idea. That suggests a lack of both sanity and decency.

Letting a radioactive spider bite you, in an attempt to become Spider-Man.
 Totenkopf
05-05-2012, 1:25 AM
#1891
Good idea, if you happen to live in a comic book.

Loudly talking to yourself while walking around any major city.
 Darth Avlectus
05-05-2012, 2:26 PM
#1892
Good idea. With everything else going on, whose going to notice?

@toten: that reminds me of this song @ ~2:47 NbLWAn8Zssg

Resorting to cannibalism because the world's meat supply is dwindling due to overpopulation.
 Totenkopf
05-05-2012, 2:31 PM
#1893
Just have one thing to say to that:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp-VFBbjpE)

Juggling w/axes.
 Darth Avlectus
05-05-2012, 2:54 PM
#1894
Good idea if you're up for a choppin' good time.

Pressing Deus units into service to screw things up.

Pointless, I just couldn't take that video seriously.

Adapting Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen into a TV series like Game of Thrones.
 Darth Avlectus
06-06-2012, 2:01 AM
#1896
Good Idea: I'm sure someone would try it if they seriously thought it'd make them some money.

Ridding yourself of lice and crabs (logic behind it, they're "bugs") by sticking relevant bodyparts into an electric bug zapper and jolting them away to save time, money, and hassle.
 Alkonium
06-06-2012, 10:18 AM
#1897
Bad idea. Depending on wattage, you could damage nerves, or die.

At a job interview, offering to sell your past employer's secrets to your prospective employer.
 Darth Avlectus
06-07-2012, 4:15 PM
#1898
Bad Idea: Even if that information could help you get employed, your prospective employer already knows you're at least as likely to pull something like that on him.

Having tube driven electronics see you through a nuclear war blast's electromagnetic shockwave.
 Alkonium
06-07-2012, 6:17 PM
#1899
Good idea, but you're stick with tube-driven electronics.

Protecting your house/castle in Minecraft with autoturrets (dispenser loaded with arrows and linked via redstone to a nearby pressure plate) and landmine (pressure plate on top of TNT).

Bad idea, I'm not sure having to fix your lawn because a cat walked across it and blew the whole thing to smithereens is fun.
