Awkward idea. Odds are she still only has one set of genitals.

Defending yourself on a libel charge by proving that your libellous statements are actually true.

That's a good idea, since in order for it to be libel they have to be false.

Building a clock and calling it a time machine to your family, friends, and the local media.

Eccentric idea: People already do that, a certain percentage anyways. Whatever moats you.

Buying a mini generator for operating power tools on the go, like the one from Harbor Freight.

Bad idea. You'd need to keep the generator going while operating the tools.

Going to a pub and ordering a pint of something, but pronouncing it pin-t as opposed to pine-t.

Good idea, it's always fun to be obnoxious.

Bad idea. You'd need to keep the generator going while operating the tools.

I thought the whole idea of a generator was that it was standalone once you started the motor?:confused::confused::confused:

Wearing a GNU/Linux t-shirt to an Apple Store?

^^^Bad idea on principle, otherwise not sure. Though I have heard mac OS's incorporate elements of linux... if it isn't true then you'd only be cutting your own legs out from underneath you figuratively as a consumer bringing a rival or competitor brand into their store...

Having your girlfriend and your female centuar bedbuddy both get oiled up with chicken grease before doing the squeaky.

Bad idea, indigestion could only end one way when you eat dynamite.

Premature idea: most people not internet literae nor team fortress 2 (Heavy Sandvitch munch noise) literate won't catch onto it just yet...maybe a little creative advertising first?

Obtaining Orochi blood from KOF's Shermie.
 Alkonium

Bad idea. Anything involving obtaining blood will not end well.

Eating the universe inside of your heart, which is actually a stick of deodorant.

Good idea. I can't think of a better way to get rid of noobs than kicking them into a bottom less pit, aside from the fact that it wouldn't take a large percentage of them to completely fill it.

Stuffing radioactive materials into a paper bag and mailing it to a select member of the US Congress.

Bad idea. There is no way paper can contain the radiation, resulting in a lot of collateral damage.

Neutral: Some might not have any idea what you're talking about...

Good idea. Ever heard of Lady Gaga?
Yes I have. She doesn't do metal. She's the birthchild of Madonna and Britney. (And I didn't think that was possible!) Think more Marylin Monroe X Charles Manson. ;)

Using kerosene as an after shave. :D

Running into a shooting range shouting "LOOK AT ME! I'M A TARGET!"
 Trench
11-10-2010, 1:40 AM

Neutral. It's a shooting range. Experienced shooters would ceasefire, and inexperienced shooters wouldn't be allowed near the dangerous firearms.

Taking a bazooka to a shooting range, using the excuse, "I have a permit for that..."

Going against every "Don't Try This At Home" Warning you see.

Good idea provided you can navigate the risks successfully...and if you can't at least warn me in any case.


Getting a public Vent server for communicating while we play SWTOR.
 Alkonium

Bad idea, public vent is full of morons.

Apple selling overpriced cardboard boxes, and marketing them as "The New Macbook Air; made entirely out of air"
 Darth Elessar
11-13-2010, 6:56 PM
#1183
Bad idea: Apple would get sued like crazy.


Putting a tiny dog (aka "blender dogs") in a blender.
 Darth Avlectus
11-13-2010, 6:59 PM
#1184
Neutral: I can see why sometimes you'd want to do that, other times it's more fun having a vicious little "doorbell" with enough command presence to chase off a black bear.

@ alk:good idea: their products (disappointingly enough for me as a Mac fan once upon a time) are just like their current batch of customers, overpriced and vapid.

Buying a hitachi angle grinder for its power, reliability, ergonomic design, and its aesthetics.
 Alkonium
11-13-2010, 7:03 PM
#1185
@Darth Elessar: By clearly stating that it's made entirely out of air, they'd probably be in the clear.

Good Idea. What other factors are there?

Me keeping up the "Professor Danger" (http://www.youtube.com/user/ProfDangerDrSafety) persona.
 Darth Avlectus

#1186
Good idea I S'ppose--might want to ratchet up the experimentation, though.

Features? Typically a high power-to-size ratio (more powerful than most), usually an ergonomically friendly and compact housing whatever size model, and very well made gear housing which means less 'gear play' (less the better) and more stability as it has a more efficient energy to movement transfer. Also, where most other brand angle grinders might not have anything memorable about their cosmetic aesthetics, this brand has a rather attractive Green and Black color scheme, possibly with surfaces to enhance your grip depending on model. Depending on your particular model other benefits will apply as well. You'll have to pay more, but it may well be worth it. Consider it the top of middle line or bottom of the top line in angle grinders. Best of the practical worker's lineup anyhow.

Apple making this (http://lockergnome.net/upfiles/ipod_nano_touch.png) as the next iPod Nano generation.
 Darth Avlectus
11-15-2010, 6:58 PM
#1188
Good idea provided it supports more file types and has certain features enabled that its competitors have which its current lineup does not. (I hope the anti-iPod crowd don't mob this page now that I've said that. :indif:)

Neutral; in one way it's like drunk dialing without the hangover, on the other hand it's like drunk dialing without the hangover.

Bad idea: it'll make too much of a mess popping and exploding inside the microwave to have much of anything left to serve the (I'm sure quite unaware) customer

Bad idea. Your rat might steal her from you.
Who said she was "mine" to begin with? :xp:

Letting my rat have the woman for a night. :naughty:
