Good idea if you're Simon Belmont, IIRC Death didn't come off too well.

Mowing the lawn of a landmine field...full of stench mines.
 Hallucination

#852
Good idea, if someone does that the mines will be disabled and then people would be able to enjoy the newly mowed grass. It's a way of taking one for the team.

DMing a game of D&D just to say 'rocks fall on you, you die' right before what would be a climactic boss fight.

^^^Neutral: Okay, if that's how you want it but as you imply it's kind of anti climactic. :indif:

Hot chainsaws through huge blocks of butter.

Good idea, for entertainment purposes. Practically, the whole premise is a bit ridiculous.

Chugging a few tankards of Tabasco sauce.

Good idea if you're constipated or have sinus congestion.


Taking off all your clothes.......and running up and bear hugging a cactus.

Good idea. Makes for good laughs if gotten on tape. Bad idea if you want to have kids.

Melting chocolate into the keyboard of your laptop and trying to get the insurance on it.

Bad idea. They can spot deliberate stuff.

A fetish involving fire and/or chainsaws.
 Darth Avlectus

#858
Good idea if you *aren't* the main object of their efforts. BAD idea if you are.


Lighting up in an barn full of corn powder in the air.
 Trench

Bad idea. Just, no.

Creating an immensely lame horror movie and submitting it to a large studio.
 Darth Avlectus
03-19-2010, 12:43 AM
#860
Neutral: Already been done...some making ridiculous amounts of fortune. Others failing horribly.

Feeding grasshoppers to pet rats.
 Hallucination
03-19-2010, 3:21 PM
#861
Good idea if you can get the rats to eat them, otherwise you're just having some would-be food jumping around in a cage.

Feeding rats to pet grasshoppers.

Bad idea. They can spot deliberate stuff.
That, plus they'd keep the chocolate.
 Darth Avlectus
03-19-2010, 5:54 PM
#862
Bad idea if you value the lives of your grasshoppers. If they don't care to eat they kill the grasshoppers anyways.

Barbecued paint with wood chips.
 Alkonium
03-26-2010, 1:15 PM
#863
Bad idea, the paint would just spill over the grill and cover the charcoal.

A Star Wars game with all the text in Aurebesh.
 Darth Avlectus
03-26-2010, 9:50 PM
#864
Good idea if you understand Aruebesh, if not...well... :giveup:

Dropping a cryogenically frozen Jason Voorhees into the sun.

Good Idea. He deserves it.

Deep frying Freddy Krueger.
 Darth Avlectus
03-26-2010, 11:01 PM
#866
Great Idea: that bastard deserves to burn.

Using an electromagnet on Pinface and exposing him to the sun.
 Alkonium
03-30-2010, 11:11 AM
#867
Good idea. He is the guy from Hellraiser, right?

Doctor Who writers going out of their way to give children nightmares.
 Darth Avlectus
03-31-2010, 1:43 AM
#868
Neutral: Can't comment on the Canadian society, but for sure it might end up having a somewhat opposite effect since America's children are so desensitized.

Closing your eyes and me showing your face.
 Hallucination
03-31-2010, 1:54 AM
#869
Bad idea, I have no idea what you'll do with my face when I'm not looking.

Calling STO players STOners.
 Darth Avlectus
03-31-2010, 8:33 PM
#870
Neutral: I thought STO was short for Standing Trip Over. :D

Bad idea, I have no idea what you'll do with my face when I'm not looking.

Letting your male cat fall in love with your neighbor's heater so it pulls a Chapelle.

Futile idea, my two cats (both male) were neutered.

Using "so thick you could cut it with a knife" to describe a person.
 Darth Avlectus
04-05-2010, 6:20 PM
#872
Excellent idea because the truer it is, the slower they are.

Futile idea, my two cats (both male) were neutered.
Must be a tamer specimen, I had a male cat as a kid and even after neutering him, he'd still mark stuff. He lived outside, was still really wild, and...dogs stayed away from him most the time.

Beating down a combine soldier.
 Alkonium
04-05-2010, 6:36 PM
#873
Good idea, if successful, you'll inspire others to do the same an begin an uprising!

Microwaving a metal travel mug/water bottle.
 Hallucination
04-05-2010, 7:42 PM
#874
Good idea, warm drinks on the go are ftw.

Microwaving a metal travel mug only to stay at home for the night.
 Alkonium
04-05-2010, 7:54 PM
#875
Bad idea, you'll have killed a microwave for nothing.

Writing a vampire novel, advertising it in such a way that it appeals to Twilight fans, but in reality, it's vampires are the most horrifying, terrifying and nightmarish vampires ever.
 Darth Avlectus
04-05-2010, 11:53 PM
#876
Good idea, because any moron that loved twilight because of its genius in literature (Haven't read it--just going off opinions and revue by trustworthy intellectual friends!) deserves to at least be made to retract those words before the intellectuals go blowing off some nuggets. (Though I wouldn't mind the bloodbath! :dev9:)

Using an induction heater for a copper vapor laser that has a quartz discharge cavity tube. (Need help? http://repairfaq.org/sam/laserfaq.htm) It should be between HeHg and Dye laser sections--if you don't mind reading a bunch.)
 Alkonium
04-12-2010, 9:57 PM
#877
Bad idea, it still needs insulation.

Giving zombies the "Twilight treatment".
 Darth Avlectus
04-12-2010, 11:38 PM
#878
Good idea, necrophilia is always fun. Especially with dead mothers.


A rocket shopping cart going off a jump and trying to fly from Coreleone's mansion in lake tahoe, flying accross the lake to the stateline town.
 Alkonium
04-13-2010, 10:51 AM
#879
If someone's in the cart, bad idea. If the cart is unmanned, good idea. Everyone loves spectacle.

An aggressive anti-bullying initiative/campaign called Eliminate Bullying, Eliminate Bullies.
 Trench

I like it. Where do I sign up?

A crossover between "Doctor Who" and "Twilight."
 Alkonium
04-13-2010, 1:02 PM
#881
Good idea, if it involves Edward and Bella getting Exterminated by Daleks, Deleted by Cybermen, or eaten by Vashta Nerada.

Watching every video by fred on YouTube.
 Darth Avlectus
04-13-2010, 3:11 PM

:barf: Bad idea, there's more constructive things to do than that--even for us.

Stopping to think.

good idea, you might get something useful done.

a watch that tells the time everywhere in the world, at the touch of the button(one time at a time ya know)
 Alkonium
04-13-2010, 6:56 PM
#884
Bad idea for just a watch. Too much of a hassle just to know local time.

A wristwatch that automatically adjusts for time zone and daylight savings.
 Darth Avlectus
04-13-2010, 8:37 PM
#885
Excellent idea--in fact I believe there already are watches which do that. And camera watches, and laser watches, and all sorts of other fascinating gadgets--sorta like the old show Dick Tracy--around long before James Bond I might add.

Using xenon as an active medium gas in a pulsed multigas laser.
 Totenkopf

Good idea if it works......better idea if it's volatile and doesn't. Spectacles are always nice to watch.

Lynching politicians.
 Darth Avlectus
04-14-2010, 12:24 AM
#887
Good idea. 'Nuff said.

Playing clay shooting with discs of manure instead, over an outdoor rave dancefloor.
 Alkonium
04-14-2010, 9:39 AM
#888
Bad idea, unless you let the manure harden.

Asking "Have you decreased in mass?" in stead of "Have you lost weight?"
 Trench
04-14-2010, 3:44 PM
#889
Good idea. No need to explain, just good.

Deleting every Fred video on YouTube.
 Alkonium
04-14-2010, 3:47 PM
#890
Bad idea. The person behind Fred (Fred's actually fictional) is a YouTube partner, and thus makes money off the ad revenue, probably as a full time job.

Microwaving a bottle of beer.
 greggomonkey
04-14-2010, 6:40 PM

bad idea, bad taste.

Eating a whole block of cheese.
 Darth Avlectus
04-14-2010, 8:07 PM
#892
Neutral: you have to consider flavor, smell, and calories and the tradeoffs as well as relative size.

Sneaking up to Slick Rick, and snatching off his eyepatch. (Ladee-dadee)
 Alkonium
04-14-2010, 11:56 PM
#893
Bad idea, I'm assuming there's a reason for the name.

Based on the video below, replacing elections with a system in which all the candidates are stuck in a giant microwave, and the last one standing is appointed to the position.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MA4mwnlhh4)
 Darth Avlectus
04-15-2010, 12:23 AM
#894
Great idea: ultimately nobody is left standing. And no politician is trustworthy anyways.
BTW, I'm sure I could troubleshoot what went wrong with it. Hell anyone could--it isn't really rocket science. Though off hand I would estimate it's kind of obvious as the thing probably overheated or overdrew current (from abnormal contents to be processed :rolleyes:) and blew a fuse in the mains. That or the Triac/SCR switcher got toasted. Microwaves, though lethally dangerous, are not all that complicated to troubleshoot and repair. http://repairfaq.org/sam/micfaq.htm)

Eating a bowl of cluster bombs and spreading a jelly fish on your toast.
 greggomonkey
04-15-2010, 9:36 AM

Bad Idea: exploding is not a cool way to go, sorta.

Running into a Wal-Mart with a Pear wearing a turban and screaming "Allah Allah Allah", "Jihad Jihad."
 Alkonium
04-15-2010, 9:39 AM
#896
Good idea, not much harm you could do with a pear, and it can get pretty boring in there at times.

My previous idea, but with effigies instead of the actual candidates.
 Darth Avlectus
04-15-2010, 3:58 PM
#897
Neutral: That would depend upon that the effigies in question are made out of...

Sending a swat team after Jason Voorhees in hopes their combined efforts would at last destroy him.
 greggomonkey
04-17-2010, 9:49 AM

Bad Idea: That guy has a machette

Lighting GTA:SW on fire.
 Darth Avlectus
04-17-2010, 4:40 PM
#899
Bad idea: If I fart while you try, YOU'LL be the one to end up on fire.

Getting on the GMOD idiot box professor's bad side if you don't want to hear the most annoying sound in the world. (hint to those not in the know: just watch a few episodes on YT to get an idea what I'm talking about. :p)
 Alkonium

Bad idea, that's more than just that sound waiting for you.

Novelising episodes of YouTube shows like "Will It Blend?" or "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?"
