Bad idea...you pretty much said it all mentioning the idea with that documentary (yes I saw it). If I have to spell it out to anyone why it's bad besides "cholesterol heart attack", then:

Bad idea, you'd succumb to the stench before anyone else.

(I was hoping to put this in the Terrify the Poster Below You (maybe I will once someone replies in it, hint hint?), but I'll do it here too:)
Me singing "In The Mood" by Rush, and replacing "baby" in the chorus with your name.

Neutral idea.

Building a device that when used will wipe out all JRPG's in the world.

Hawt idea.


Me singing Nirvana songs replacing unintelligible words with your name.

You'd probably end up singing 'Alkonium' the entire damn song.

Good idea, they're too linear.

BioWare making a Jade Empire/Dragon Age/Mass Effect crossover game.

Interesting. Profitable, maybe.

Getting rid of those "problematic" hairs using honey, butter knife, pliers and lint rollers.
 Alkonium

Bad idea. Those hairs are probably not the only thing you'd end up getting rid of.

Trying to use batteries as bullets.

Depends:
Observed firearm/ballistic projectile safety precautions?
What type/size?
Intended target/outcome?
Manner in which the batteries are projected (Typical gun=bad, slingshot or other=good...maybe)
Are you a mad scientist/evil genius? :dev11:

Taking a ride with Harry and Lloyd (from dumb and dumber) if you're a criminal with stomach problems and 2 sets of pills--meds for ulcer and rat poison.

Good idea, I hate it when rats get ulcers.

Neutral. I really don't care. :indif:

Visiting me on a day when I've just restocked on ammo. :dev11:
 Darth Avlectus

#666
^^^Good if it actually is a visit...bad if it's B&E.

@Alkonium
No
Well, it's your safety...
9v
Does it fit in a chamber of firearm weapon of your choice? (Apparently Walther PP9)
Don't care
Then you can't blame anyone but yourself since you've not defined the aim and scope of your...experiment...
Walther P99
Refer to firearm weapon question above.
Yes
Then I suppose anything is a good experiment but not necessarily good or bad idea.

#668
Bad idea, you can't really save anything, though it might prevent people from embarrasing themselves...

#670
Well, you didn't say microwave...considering the heat up causes it to react...good idea if it's strategically placed and timed. :D

Getting lost out in the boonies where that old janitor farmer guy is at.
 Totenkopf
01-22-2010, 11:39 PM
#671
Depends.....just how helpless are you.

Using "There's a trial in my pants and you've been summoned." as a pick-up line.
 Totenkopf
01-24-2010, 3:04 PM
#673
Bad idea if you're using it on a judge while in court. Otherwise.....sure, ya never really know what's going to work. Even after the other person is done laughing at you, you still might get pity sex.

Pathological lying w/o ever getting caught.
 Darth Avlectus
01-24-2010, 3:21 PM
#674

^Neutral. Depends on what kind of shop.

Declaring war on Greenland.
 Alkonium
02-08-2010, 5:02 PM
#679
Bad idea. As one person with no government affiliation, I lack the authority to do that.

Using the sounds of turtles having sex as your ringtone.
 Trench
02-08-2010, 5:23 PM
#680
They make noise when they do that? Probably a bad idea.

Good Idea If you're a warden and you need "Kong the bubba breaker" to go in and 'tame' some of the more unruly inmates......and Arianna Huffington when you finally decide to let him free.

Good idea. I'm tired of things being overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside.

Doing this:

#683
Depends: Only good if you have the touch for it and don't need your eyes...considering visors are so dark you can barely see what you're doing anyways...I guess it should be only a good idea if you're expert...
because even WITH your eyes, if you suck at short arc stick welding, then it won't matter...

Eating purple frogs...
 Trench
02-09-2010, 10:39 PM

Suicidal: Good. Otherwise: Bad.

Really bad. It gets you on the NRA's watchlist.

Modifying your flamethrower to fire hot sauce.
 Darth Avlectus
02-10-2010, 12:12 AM

Does it have flammable incendiary and adhesive? In that case YES!

Otherwise BAD--it'll clog everything.

#693
Bad idea. Slave labor - you get what you pay for.

Running around in a jet airplane while flailing your arms and screaming, "My overture is that you serve me for I am innocuous!" (JFTR, that was a reference to a news post by Shem awhile back) :p

I can see no flaw in that idea. :carms:

Bad idea: not only not affordable but even if you could, the CIA would pinpoint it in like, 30 seconds of the connection.

If you are a bird, dropping walnuts into roads so cars run over them and break their hard shells, so that you can swoop down when safe and take the edible nuts and get fat that way.

Bad idea. They'de taste like road.

Crossover slash fiction. (don't worry, I'll never do that. While I have no problem writing gay, straight, or lesbian romance, I only use entirely original characters)
