Gross idea.

Just wearing an eye patch for Halloween, along with your regular clothes.

Boring idea. There are plenty of people who do that already, on other days besides Halloween.





Carrying around a portable battery operated vacuum, dress up like a bandit or pirate, and go around and suck up everybody's candy on Halloween.


Cop: Just what the hell you thinking your doin', buddy?!

Me: Hey! It's Halloween and I'm in character! So leave me alone!

Excellent idea. I'm tired of bag snatching.

@ ALK Boring idea.

(synchronous post victim)

BTW someone actually did that last year at the Lake Tahoe Freaker's ball.

Being a juggalo for regular everyday living sorta like a goth does.

Bad idea. That's a few steps away from a clown.

Responding to Jehovah's Witnesses with "Cthulhu R'lyeh Fthaghn!"

Excellent idea. Right up there with "quoting Lorem Ipsum in a deep, raspy voice while rolling your eyes around inside your head."

Greeting Jehovah's witnesses naked at the door, cow heart in hand.

Great idea, if you don't mind being charged with indecent exposure.

Greeting Jehovah's Witnesses with a fake (or real, I don't care) severed head in your hand.

Great idea. Even better if you can somehow rig the head to whisper "Watchtower!"

Giving Jehovah's Witnesses your own pamphlets.

Excellent idea: Nothing like pwning them at their own game.

Greeting Jehova's witnesses like so at 1:19 in the following video:

Bad idea. At the very least, most people would label that attempted homicide.

Greeting Jehovah's Witnesses by dressing up like Jesus, and saying, "Oh, great. It's you guys again."

Horrendous idea: if you don't get their scorn, ire and possibly violent reaction to your mockery, you'll get unwanted attention. Trust me, I tried it thinking it would be funny and it backfired every time.

Greeting a collective, mourning over their "beloved" who spoke his last words of his return as an undeniably strong presence, as the almighty Cornholio.

Neutral. They'd just be confused.

Reading the works of H.P. Lovecraft to Preschoolers.

Probably a bad idea, unless you read it in an engaging way (low attention spans and whatnot). Upside is that most of them won't be able to tell their parents about your odd story choices for a pre-K crowd.

Acting out any of those stories in playform in HS, instead of the usual run-of-the-mill crap they do anymore.
 Darth Avlectus
10-01-2012, 3:34 PM
#2013
Good idea: I'm sick of all the tired worn out half-assed attempts at classics which really deserve more dignity and respect with a properly done play...and the whole pop culture "thing" masquerading as "contemporary", but is really just MTV after they took all the cool stuff away.

Passing out chocolate laxatives in your kindergarten class for some variety to "stir things up a bit" w.r.t. the wackiness that will ensue.
 Alkonium

Bad idea. As if children aren't annoying enough.

Radio stations having no dress code of any kind.
 Darth Avlectus
10-01-2012, 8:12 PM
#2015
Neutral: It's a radio station and it isn't like you can see them unless they have a webcam on or you are there in person at the station. Good if the DJ is hot; bad to horrible if they're not.


If winning a lottery, buying a Mitsubishi machining laser and opening up shop for comparatively cheap (*after* taxes are taken out on winnings).
 Alkonium

Difficult to say. It's unclear what you mean by "opening up shop".

Dressing up as the Grim Reaper and hanging around at funerals.

Only if you offer free hugs and high-fives.

Texting all your coworkers during a meeting with silly questions (i.e. "if a cat is radioactive does it have 18 half-lives?") when you're out of town for a week.

Harmless idea.

Writing Cthulhu into an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Why not......it's all fiction anyway.

Turning Beavis and Butthead into bronies.

Good idea. It'd a brohoof here and there, and maybe a change of shirt.

Attempting to start a real life Torchwood.
 Darth Avlectus

Good idea if only there were a need for such a team.

@ Alk: You're overthinking it. Laser machining (http://www.mitsubishi-world.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=631&Itemid=1427) + shop. Even you know I give suggestions and reviews on tools every so often.

Getting fired for doing the boss' mother at the job site so that way when you look for a new job, the prospective employer will think the other guy is nuts.

Neutral idea. Is it common for bosses to fire their potential stepfather?

A remake of Twilight with Justin Bieber as Edward and Rebecca Black as Bella.

Pretty sick. As if the original cast weren't sucky enough.

Making a CGI KOTOR mini-series that's faithful to the game (but with much better graphics, of course).
 Alkonium
10-07-2012, 12:48 AM
#2024
Bad idea. I can think of a few people here who'd be willing to torch the studio because it doesn't feature "their" Revan.

Making frequent use of the phrase "whether you like it or not" when dealing with fans.
 Darth Avlectus
10-07-2012, 6:30 PM
#2025
Good idea to a point: after awhile even the more lenient fans are going to get the impression you just don't care what they think.

Rocket equipped shopping carts.

Laser dolphins.

Good idea. It good to diversify one's menagerie of sea creatures with lasers attached to their heads.

Training bears to use guns, and then smuggling them onto a plane.

As LF's resident gun-nut, I fully support our right to arm bears.

Grafting bear arms onto your body to celebrate your love for the 2nd Amendment.

Neutral idea. I'm Canadian.

Baking bacon into a loaf of bread, and then making BLT's with that bread.

Redundant idea. Unless you want to have a kidney stone from all that salt. Then go right ahead. :D


A sheet metal shuriken.

Good idea. It's either an effective weapon or a Darwin Award waiting to happen.

Doing nothing to stop it when you expect a Darwin Award to happen.
 Darth Avlectus
12-04-2012, 1:40 AM
#2032
Good or bad idea depending on your perspective...and to whom it is about to happen...

Stopping a Darwin award from happening to someone the world desperately needs it happening to...

Bad idea. One less idiot in the gene pool is a good thing.

Getting rid of warning labels, and expecting people to get by on common sense.
 Totenkopf
12-04-2012, 3:22 PM
#2034
Mixed. Not everyone has common sense, but then again it would make for a robust season of Darwin awards. $50 on the idiot with the appliance by the bathtub, thanks.

Legally having a show called The Darwin Awards, complete with voluntary contestants.

Good idea, through I question the legality of it.

Replacing the kitchen crew in fast food restaurants with robots.
 Darth Avlectus
12-05-2012, 12:48 AM
#2036
Neutral idea: Hey, it's working for the hot pizza vending machine (no seriously, there *is* one), and trying it would yield mixed results upon which we could only improve...but the catch 22 is technology would be replacing jobs in both in the short and long term and we kinda need jobs right now to keep the economy moving, furthermore jobs for building and maintaining this stuff would be hard to come by and even harder to keep.


Stop eating animals, and start cannibalizing humans instead, in the interest of shutting PETA up.
 Totenkopf
12-05-2012, 12:52 AM
#2037
Well, as long as shutting people up means we're canabalizing PETA, ALF, ELF, vegans, Greenpeace, Code Pink et al first........sure, why not. Maybe by the time we finish all them off, we can go back to eating non-human animals again.

Force feeding animals to PETA members.
 Darth Avlectus
12-05-2012, 1:24 AM
#2038
Good idea. A vegetarian diet is a luxury. Besides, we were given opposeable thumbs and canines for a reason! Plus we don't want food totalitarianism enforced by people who are more or less the equivalent of militant religious zealots but about food instead.

Arm pit smelling and flavored Popsicle made from the real thing for PETA people and telling them, "Well, at least it isn't animals!"
 Alkonium
12-05-2012, 11:19 AM
#2039
Any jab at PETA is a good idea.

Releasing a swarm of locusts in PETA's head office.
 Darth Avlectus
12-09-2012, 3:38 PM

Excellent idea, we can close it off so that they don't swarm our houses! You're full of great ideas.

Sentencing your worst enemy to having to spend 10 years w/tourette's guy.

#2042
Good idea, but not as good as that plus stipulations like no talking back, and getting beat down if they violate that stipulation.


Having Lloyd, Harry, T.G., and Palmer Scott (in his "sit on you" mode he did to tim and eric) *do* your worst enemies' mothers before proceeding to aggravate your enemies endlessly.

Buying a Yugo and going around crashing it into fancy cars downtown.
 Darth Avlectus
