Good idea if its fundamental save is not running in real time.



Hiring Lloyd Christmas as a PR manager at a company you're about to ditch.

Bad idea. That would look really bad on a resumй.

Attempting to rustle an actual gorilla's jimmies.
 Hallucination

Bad idea, leave that to professional zoologists, animal handlers, and other jimmy rustlers.

Feeding a gorilla Gorilla Munch.

Bad idea. That'd certainly rustle his jimmies.

The UK changing its emergency number from 999 to 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3.

Excellent idea, its complexity will result in people being much more careful and thus reduce the number of accidents. It might encourage crime, but that's not too important.

Allowing inmates sentenced to death to only walk sideways because they have nothing to look forward to.

Pointless, they're going to die anyway, it doesn't really matter how they feel about it.

The Hub hiring prominent bronies to work on MLP:FIM in whichever capacity they'd be good at.

Bad idea: you get lots of people who come to the gig, and nobody wanting to do jack squat or having any valuable skills. I worked in amateur TV production myself so I've seen the horrors.

Finding the spammer IRL who makes your online life miserable and beating the holy F***ing $#*% out of him, and then give him the same treatment Big Baby Sweets says you could give Li'l Poot and Big Stank and still wouldn't care about (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvoyT8iN1Yg).

Bad idea. He'll get back at you with something even worse.

Princess Celestia being the main antagonist in the Season 3 opener of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Bad idea......goody-goody's don't make good bad guys.

Using a time machine to prevent the creation of the MLP franchise.
 Alkonium

Bad idea. Then what would there be to rustle your jimmies?

Faking sick by making yourself vomit on an important piece of equipment at work.
 Darth Avlectus
06-13-2012, 12:47 AM
#1911
Good idea: the boss will be pissed off so that not only do you NOT get the day off, you'll have to clean up the mess and maybe even pay to replace the equipment. Stellar plan chief. :roleyess:

Investing in an oak stake even though you have cleared the 5th mansion on Castlevania 2.
 Alkonium

Assuming the first "an" should be "in", Good idea. Who knows when you might need one?

Manipulating time so that MLP started in 2010 with the Friendship is Magic series, and none of the pre-2010 crap existed.
 Darth Avlectus
06-13-2012, 10:38 PM
#1913
Good idea I suppose, if nothing else you could (hopefully) be possibly saving the series from deterioration (I wouldn't know). Knock yourself out.


Using dremel or other rotary tools to smooth out the sharp insides of the sheet metal computer casing before adding to and modifying your machine.
An hour later and it's STILL bleeding under bandages... >_>

Smart idea. Enough said.






Killing grass with weed killer, because I hate mowing the lawn every damn week. (Stupid grass, it never stops growing!)

Bad idea. Odds are something won't fit right afterwards.

Attempting to eliminate your need for sleep in the same way you would build up immunity to a poison.
 Darth Avlectus
06-14-2012, 12:55 AM
#1916
Bad idea: One cannot build an immunity to sleep as to poison; It will ultimately fail and bring about many ills in the process.
I think I'm finally getting the hang of concise wording on the internet!

Buying a fixer-upper home right now while prices are low and individual job prospects are in one's personal favor atm.
Seriously.

Good idea, as long as you're careful about who you hire.

Instead of buying a car, building one out of a random assortment of parts you found at a junkyard.
 Totenkopf

If you've got the time and talent and the means...........why not. Might even get a break on the insurance.

Giving up your US citizenship and then coming back to exploit the sytem as an illegal alien.
 Darth Avlectus
06-16-2012, 3:46 AM
#1919
Good Idea. You might actually get some assistance. :dev9:

Making nothing in hopes someone won't rule 34 or rule 35 that. Or making your own rule 34 of it really crappily and obscure so that nobody will take an interest.
 Alkonium

Futile idea. There are no exceptions to the Rules of the Internet.

Eating live birds in order to help the environment.
 Totenkopf
06-19-2012, 10:51 PM

Bad idea.....unless you're feline.

Tricking greenies into suicide to cut down on carbon emissions.
 Darth Avlectus
06-20-2012, 3:40 AM
#1922
Good idea: They're kind of hypocritical anyway. Can be annoying too. We need people who actually care about solutions that WATCH where the money goes.


Making a snow-like substitute that is flammable.
 Alkonium
06-20-2012, 8:16 AM
#1923
Bad idea. How is a substitute for snow supposed to work?

Applying the principle of "If you want it done right, do it yourself." to things you're clearly not qualified to do.
 Darth Avlectus
06-20-2012, 11:30 AM
#1924
Bad Idea: you pretty much already said why, though unqualified does not necessarily mean incapable nor incompetent.

Doing "bonkers conkers" like photonicinduction did on YT, only with cars instead of CRT tvs.
 Alkonium
06-24-2012, 10:14 AM
#1925
Bad idea. There's no way for a car to functionally replace a CRT tv.

Using a bread machine to make beer.

06-25-2012, 7:55 AM
#1926
Intriguing idea. You might be on to something there, especially with a few modifications.





Catching a Sasquatch and claiming it to be a real Wookiee.
 Alkonium
06-26-2012, 12:52 AM
#1927
Bad idea. Wookiees aren't that big, and are much more intelligent.

While working at a restaurant, secretly poisoning difficult customers.
 Darth Avlectus
06-26-2012, 1:01 AM
#1928
Good idea. Might as well right? :dev9:

Bad idea. Wookiees aren't that big, and are much more intelligent.
You don't KNOW that. :rolleyes:

Going to a restaurant you despise, with whatever diarrhea inducing condition planned just before the tab comes, go into restroom, drag trash can into stall with you, pull out trash bag and do your business, finish off...then neatly replace trash bag and put the can back when coast is clear, wash hands, and stroll back out like you own the joint.
True story, my pal did it at a local Denny's.

Nasty idea. Yet, revengeful and stinky. I LIKE IT!






Releasing a jar of flies and knats in the same restaurant, after doing D.A.'s revengeful tactic, just to add more annoyance which would disgust everybody possibly even more.
 Alkonium
06-26-2012, 9:22 AM
#1930
Good idea. That'll get the place shut down for sure.

Releasing the Necronomicon as an e-book.
 Darth Avlectus
06-26-2012, 9:57 PM
#1931
Good idea. I'm bored and we need a sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors that isn't some cheap-out half-ass job that is only 18 levels long.

Paying your lactose intolerant friend to drink chocolate milk to barf it on the floor of that convenience store that ripped you off last month.
 Alkonium
06-27-2012, 12:54 AM

Good idea. Just be ready for abdominal bloating and cramps, flatulence, diarrhea, nausea, and borborygmi as well as vomiting.

Teachers making a drinking game out of grading their students' work.
 Darth Avlectus

Excellent idea on principle alone, never mind you could cop a feel with the better looking ones. :naughty:

@Alk...yeah tell me about it. :D

Teaching your dog to chase cats.
 Alkonium
07-05-2012, 10:17 AM
#1934
Bad idea. My dog isn't the alpha male, one of my cats is. Also, I have another large dog who is terrified of cats.

A business making it an official policy that the quality of the product or service rendered is entirely depended on the attitude and behaviour of the customer.
 Darth Avlectus
07-09-2012, 12:11 PM
#1935
Good idea...to a point anyway, after which it begins to adversely affect business...though so does "have it your way" and "customer is always right" policies so one has to suppose it's a balancing act.


Subverting the constitution so you can blame it and ban it, or at least attempting to for reason that you are a bitter arsehole and don't want people who look different than you to be able to use certain weapons and defend themselves against 10, 20, even 30 others who DO look like you ...and labeling it "social justice".
 Alkonium
07-10-2012, 12:01 AM
#1936
Bad idea. Laws like this lead to revolts.

Attempting to justify theft and selling illegal drugs by donating the profits to charity.
 Darth Avlectus
07-31-2012, 2:10 PM
#1937
Not the worst but I'd hate to try to be argung that one in court.

Having Alk grow out his hair to play a male character on a RL version of Birdy the mighty:decode, even though the heroine is a psychotic PMSing bee-otch.
 Alkonium

Neutral. It's just an acting gig.

The next Spider-Man film being an adaptation of these (http://danarchy.youfailit.net/Spiderman/).
 Darth Avlectus
08-03-2012, 1:21 AM
#1939
Neutral: What the F***? What did I just read? Seriously?

...What is this? I ...don't even...

OK Except for the depressing rape humor, I found all that otherwise quite amusing. TBH I'm now beginning to wonder what you're trying to accomplish there having us read that.

Hell, it's worth a try I guess. Just remember if you get any stars to play in it, you'll turn them off to super heroes forever if it flops.



Making SWTOR movies...Like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNDaG7YqaV4&feature=plcp) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGRWzvzIPb8&feature=relmfu).

Bad idea. That's got to be one of the worst machinimas I've ever seen.

Inventing a religion for the sole purpose of getting out of having to shave for work.
 Totenkopf
08-04-2012, 3:10 PM
#1941
Isn't that one of the "benefits" of Islam. :confused:

Selling guns to drug lords and then failing to keep track of them, but having a compliant press that largely ignores the issue.
 Alkonium

Doesn't the US government do that with third world countries?

Trying to facilitate a drug bust by going around, asking random people "Where is drugs?".
 Darth Avlectus
08-15-2012, 3:56 AM
#1943
Good idea, people don't mistrust you enough. It'll get you either free room and board or a nice bed with either a view of fish or maybe one made from the most ecologically friendly material, dirt 'o the earth!

Not sure if I used this one yet: using cutter boomerang against Flame Mammoth and Launch Octopus after you get done shredding Sting Chameleon with it.
 Alkonium
08-15-2012, 11:17 AM
#1944
Good idea. You're on a roll, so why not?

The next big screen version of Batman being incapable of communicating except by grumbling and punching.
 Darth Avlectus
08-16-2012, 1:19 AM
#1945
Neutral idea: I mean...yeah it worked for the Hulk and others...just seems a bit formulaic and cliche by now.

Making (more like cobbling together) an induction forge out of basically at least 8 years worth of accumulated junk, all going off a general concept and a few more or less successful designs which go in depth on the inductive output stage and magnetic flux.

Good idea. Sounds like a metaphor for American Politics.

A novel adaptation of the Yogscast's Shadow of Israphel series.
 Darth Avlectus

#1947
Good idea, they're hilarious. Not sure how it'd translate into a novel series but you can't take everything serious. Maybe interweb-speak?

Good idea. Sounds like a metaphor for American Politics.
I'd like to hear this one. Sarcasm or not.

A dumpster match, 50 cosplayers, Alk and Hal as announcers, tons of adult intimacy products and lubricants among many other weapons, half a metric ton of mud with a tank to pour it all into made so the mud is knee-high, GWAR on a stage near the entrance ramp, pyro and lasers, with a bunch of machine gun wielding trannies as referees.
 Totenkopf
08-27-2012, 4:14 PM
#1948
Conditional. If all 50 are hot chicks and you get rid of the trannies......most of us would probably buy it for a $1. :thmbup1:

Inheriting at least $US1 bil and being tax exempt for life.
 Darth Avlectus
