Good enough idea.....as long as Patrick Warburton did the voice. Sid's voice didn't seem quite deep enough.

Making your TOR charachter a superfly pimped out jedi.

Good Idea, your character would probably be near to Godmode by then.

Neutral: How would that work unless the entire land mass was one island? (you have been playing sim city methinks)

Juicing the blood out of John Corzine and Tim Immelt, no anesthetics.

Bad idea. That's called murder, but at least you're doing it creatively.

Smashing through the wall when you could just use the door.

Outstanding Idea, gives a whole new meaning to "making an entrance".



Neutral: How would that work unless the entire land mass was one island?


Well the idea was that no one could find you on a lost island that is forgotten or either no one knows about it, in a worldwide search for the ultimate game of hide-and-go-seek. Therefore, you have a sure bet not to be found and thus you become the winner of the game. But of course the downside of that is you become lost as well, but regardless you know your the winner, because you are never found. (Guess you could say it's a little extreme, huh? :raise:)

Using a Jabba the Hutt-style Rancor Pit to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Neutral idea: while amusing I suppose, it really is more direct to do it like Violent J says @ 1:20 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7WENW1CgRs):

Jehovah's Witnesses, I swear man I love 'em. They're standin' on my porch knockin' --I'm waitin' above 'em. Puncture wound victims RIGHT to mah door!
COME BACK MOTHA F***KAH! I'll stab you some more!

Since juicing their blood isn't a good idea...Taking the CEO of GE and former CEO of IMF Global, and giving them a more proper execution for being the greedy sniveling corrupt lying $*** bags they are. Impaling them with pikes and all! :dev11:

Good idea. That's a pretty clear message right there.

Pulling a hat out of a rabbit.

Bad idea, you should take Flopsy to a qualified veterinarian and avoid feeding him hats in the future.

Taking the duck out of a turducken.

Bad idea; it's Christmas, you should at least splurge on a fresh Golden Spy or Pink Lady (if you can, locally sourced).

Giving a PlayBook to someone who wants an iPad.

Good idea only if that person is annoying and deserves to be mocked...otherwise bad idea cuz you risk any number of undesirable reactions.

Depends on whether you can afford to feed it or not.

Putting a real live Duke Nukem in charge of GTA's monkey army and equipping them with atomic doody flingin' trebuchets.

Good idea. You can basically f*** around once in awhile in the employee lounge and not have to worry about it. (BTW, where's the janitor? I slept on the couch last night and I'm hung over. Don't mind the urine stains and the beer bottles.) :p

Steven Moffat bringing back Rose Tyler on Doctor Who, for the sole purpose of permanently killing her off.

Interesting Idea, but I think the writers are the ones who call the shots on that. So that would probably require some serious bribing on your part, but it's worth a try.



Creating a Doctor Who type of snowman, then summon the spirit of William Hartnell (First Doctor) into that snowman to come alive and beat the crap snow out of Frosty the Snowman for your personal entertainment.

From a nobility perspective probably a good idea, from a realist's perspective neutral to possibly bad as they will now find a way to spin your actions such that it hurts your cause/benefits theirs. Especially if they are co-opted with the government to form an oligarchy.

Not entirely sure what a "toilet bomb" is, but Good idea regardless.

Refer to the bombardment scene of the movie Earnest Goes To Camp.

Using hot sauce to kill microorganisms better known as STDs as a cheap alternative because the clinic is full of illegals with the same and turns you away. (I'm exaggerating some but not by very much unfortunately.)

Really bad idea. Hot Sauce != Medicine.

Idea of limited use: if people didn't already know what it was, it might have worked at first until the truth was revealed at large but everyone now knows it is a total chick flick so this point is moot.

Making a real life HK-47 to hunt down pimps and handlers, and torture them to death in the worst ways imaginable, while recording it and posting the recordings on youtube and similar.

I love how youtube has "in a nutshell" so I don't have to sit through this agony.
Ehh bad idea because inventing problems ultimately never ends well; if your lie isn't exposed, your relationship would become so shallow you couldn't really call it friendship anymore after enough times, thus we have the moral for the watcher to ponder.

When you've found out....let us know.
smartass


Supposing you had a friend like old man Kissel of the jerky boys, introducing him by dropping in unannounced to visit your deliberately dead-beet clients who haven't payed for your maintenance and housecare services in 5 months in an attempt to get them to cough up the $$$ now, and never call you again after that.

Good idea. Too bad producers never learn their lessons. Unless it's animated and not RL so it is better received by critics and fans alike, but even that is only marginally successful when you consider the limitation to the audience demographics in question. Unfortunately it rarely ever works out so well.
