This thread reminds me of a scene from Office Space:
TOM: You know there are people in this world who don't have to put up with all this shit? Like that guy that invented the pet rock. You see, that's what you have to do. You have to use your mind and come up with some really great idea like that and you never have to work again!MICHAEL (with resigned, but obvious, disgust): You think the pet rock was a really great idea?TOM: Sure it was. The guy made a million dollars!
MICHAEL (with resigned, but obvious, disgust): You think the pet rock was a really great idea?
TOM: Sure it was. The guy made a million dollars!
The confident, oblivious way Tom answers Michael Bolton always makes me smile.

tbf is that YOUR terrible idea, or the terrible idea of the management?

you had better tell him about the hardline no homophobes policy.
― ian, Saturday, 17 October 2009 04:12 (fifteen years ago)
my terrible idea. i haven't actually suggested it to anyone as they don't even know i'm leaving yet, but i'm considering it. means my two weeks notice would maybe be extended by one week.

this yoga place here in the DC area had the terrible idea to send around a halloween promo email that says HAPPY YOGA'WEEN
at first I was like.. what! they are starting a yoga class with only music from WEEN? sadly, they aren't

lol yoga'ween is utterly ridiculous.
my current terrible idea is crushing on a woman fifteen years older than me.
― ian, Thursday, 29 October 2009 04:39 (fifteen years ago)
i'm sure she'd be flattered
― sarahel, Thursday, 29 October 2009 04:43 (fifteen years ago)
yeah, i'd rather get some snuggling tbh.

i always joked that since my last two relationship fell apart when the lady turned thirty, i really wanted to try dating someone on the cusp of 40; this lady is 39. sigh.

I saw a sticker on a car today that looked like a rastafied Motorhead logo and thought it might have said "Märleyhead". If this hasn't been done it would be a pretty terrible idea for a cover band - play the Bob songs Lemmy style and the Lemmy songs Bob style.

A brokerage or real-estate office where liberals who live in red states and conservatives who live in godless heathen liberal areas can just swap properties -- yea or nay?

darraghmac, just imagine that I came out with a new "translation" of the Tain bo Cuailnge where Cuchullain had a little kid helper always quick with a current-to-the-times wisecrack, and the name of the character was like "Moomoollin'"
now animate that

your noise band could open for conceptual joke noise band #4 of mine named: I Love You But My Panda Is Gay
― sarahel, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 03:31 (fourteen years ago)
^^ merch would consist of different colored hankies with one panda mounting the other from behind as the pattern
― sarahel, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 03:36 (fourteen years ago)
my terrible hypothetical noise band doesn't play shows, it only practices
― "goof proof cooking, I love it!" (Z S), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 03:45 (fourteen years ago)
we open for the beginning of The Office reruns on TNT
― "goof proof cooking, I love it!" (Z S), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 03:46 (fourteen years ago)
we are legendary
My terrible hypothetical noise band doesn't play shows, or practice, or record. However we (I actually) will record an album in one day, to be titled "aaaaaaarrrgh". I'm pretty sure this is a terrible idea.

― "It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 08:49 (fourteen years ago)
but in any case, it's merely an extension of how 90% of people approach college/work assignments
xp not unless John sang through a toy voice changing megaphone.
― ninjas and lasers and gold and (snoball), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 15:26 (fourteen years ago)
Just to clarify, it's not that my hypothetical noise band's music is played on tv before the office reruns on TNT, it's that at practice we pay special attention to when the show is about to start, we play our music during the commercial break, and then stop suddenly the moment the rerun begins.
I just don't want anyone to get the wrong terrible idea
― "goof proof cooking, I love it!" (Z S), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 16:25 (fourteen years ago)
yeah it's true the clarification makes it clear that it really is a terrible idea
