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

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.

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.

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

― dell (del), Saturday, 21 August 2010 17:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I originally had the idea 15 years ago, and have been reminded about it three or four times a year since then. The basic flaw that makes it a terrible idea is that, as far as I can gather from my UK based research, only the following things are ever written in the dirt on the back of a white van:
*'Also available in white'*'I wish my wife was as dirty as this van'*smiley face with 'Hello' speech bubble*'FUCK'/'SHIT'/'PISS'/'WANKERS'/etc.*drawing of a cock
― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Saturday, 21 August 2010 17:57 (fourteen years ago) link
It really torments me*. As an abstract idea, it looks like it should be a coffee table book. In reality it's probably a blog that gets abandoned after about half a dozen entries.
(*OK not really)

are you above sneaking around writing witty messages on the vans yourself and photographing them? NO ONE WOULD KNOW
