13. Starting the thread "What does 'rockist' mean?"

14. A pop group exclusively made up of 2 year olds called Diaper Rash.

if your original post was a gigantic picture of goatse with an embedded sound clip of, i dunno, somebody having explosive diarrhea or something, then it'd be a pretty great idea

15. deciding you wanna ride a goddamn ferris wheel

16. 1p3

rong

17. Sell white rice dyed brown to exploit gullible newcomers to the health food world (long time health food consumers would probably see right through the scam.) The brand would be called "Rice that is Brown" rather than "So-and-So brown rice" and list the ingredients in super timy print.

eh..tiny print

haha the next step would be "Rice that is Multiethnic" and it would just be bag of Fruity Pebbles.

would that actually like... save you any money?

slocki you don't get it--IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA!

1. An adaptation of Blood Meridian scored by Def Leppard

7. An adaption of The Mikado done entirely using mobile ringtones.

18. an adaptation of Do You Remember Love?/Macross for the musical theater/broadway stage.

maybe less terrible and more so not gonna happen why bc i am lazy

im dying over rice that is brown

19. Putting a book of my poetry out
20. Taking up a drug habit on the back of the highly unlikely profits from this anthology of work (any suggestions for the drugs?)

idk I've actually been pretty impressed with yr writing. Honestly.

21. Combination mezzuzah and bottle opener, so you're never at a loss with a cold beer in your hand.

(xxpost) not my terrible idea, but someone once suggested to me, in all seriousness, that I become a smack head in order to guarantee that I could continue to claim benefits.

patoetry plzzz

art project involving tramp stamps, semen and polaroid camera.

A Terrible Plan!

tramp stamps on actual tramps

like, hoboes

i thought it would be great an edgy brooklyn gallery! you know, like, transgressive sexuality & the mainstream appeal of defacing the body. or something.

you have to go for that obsessive all-over-composition style in the installation ... also you need typewritten descriptions of the context for each photo

make the stamp say something edgy like "FEMINISM" or "ART" or something

the images will be titled with the content of the stamp.

for example:
daisies no. 2
chinese character nos. 1-3

maybe you can install them onto a traced map of your city, with push pins, and place them in the locations where the people live or were photographed, and it could be a commentary on gentrification or routes travelled.

I'm trying to combine all the edgy art trends I can think of ...

Sorry John, but I like to freak you out

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!

The confident, oblivious way Tom answers Michael Bolton always makes me smile.

Staying on to train my replacement.

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

you had better tell him about the hardline no homophobes policy.

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.

Is it the kind of place, where if you concede to doing that, they could be nice and let you collect unemployment?

Blind Items...OF THE FUTURE

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

love it

Reimagining of Uncle Vanya where the entire play is Vanya's niece, Sonya, knocking on the door, but Vanya can't hear because he's in the other room.

The only dialogue is Sonya calling out "Uncle Vanya!" in growing exasperation.

Kidnapping Underworld and making them play a concert within 100 miles of me

Like I’d arrange a venue and sell tickets and advertise everything I’m not selfish

A film about a destination wedding taking place over a weekend, except people start getting murdered, it's meant to balance whodunnit with horror in equal measure, the "final girl" has Miss Marple observational skills but none of the sanctimony, instead it's pure fear; could also be a "final boy". Anyway that's the pitch. The title of the film is: "I Do, You Die".

I am intrigued by your ideas, sir; I like the cut of your jib and would like to subscribe to your newsletter

unfortunately due to related design difficulties the actual cut of our jib has presented significant challenges as far as making newsletter production meetings goes

A crowdsourcing fertility clinic named Kidstarter

An app that plays you clips with different UK accents and rates your capacity to identify them. For immigrants like myself, like.

A burger restaurant called “Have A Burger, Leave A Burger, Need A Burger, Take A Burger”

The Fast Beatles.

Just, like, a cartoonist representation of the Beatles except they sound sped-up

a "dont't tickle me elmo" doll that makes fists and flails around violently when you touch it.

a parody cover of "the dark end of the street" called "the short end of the stick"

A TV sketch show made up of parodies of other TV comedies, written as if the writers don't understand that the characters in those shows were already exaggerated for comic effect.

Mostly it's just characters going around saying "NORM!" "What's up with that?" "D'oh!" etc, in an attempt at observational humour

Just, like, a cartoonist representation of the Beatles except they sound sped-up

I'd bet their version of "Rain" would be crazy!

DOC: So Marty! Let me get this straight — !

MARTY: Yeah, Doc?

DOC: You took the DeLorean! Back 30 years! To 1995 – !

MARTY: Yeah?

DOC: To warn the government about 9/11!

MARTY: Ok, listen...

DOC: And! You meet with government agents! In 1995 — !

MARTY: Listen, I know where this is going...

DOC: You meet with the government agents! To warn them about 9/11. At the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City...

MARTY: In hindsight, I can see why —

lol

Why does the second image look like a chocolate blancmange?

There are some things even I won't prompt on A.I.

an AI that adds Grace Slick vocal doubling to any song

A cookbook aimed at the food poisoning community, with recipes like "Flash Fried Chicken Wings with Triple-Cooked Rice"

“Thar She Blows”, a sea shanty version of the La’s classic, and the artwork is the exact cover art of the La’s album except with an eyepatch over the eye.

LOL

haha!

A cover of The La's 'There She Goes' performed by a deep sea trawlerman, titled 'Thar She Blows!'.

I like your cover art idea.

HA!! But, oh god, “broccoli rabe thomas” reminded me of a much, much worse idea I had many years ago. I wouldn’t wanna share it here cause it’s too embarrassing but now I think i gotta. I mean this one is truly fucking abysmal, idk brace yourself.

A support act for Personal and The Pizzas called Broccoli Rob and the Ruffage. At the time I had this terrible idea, Personal and the Pizzas had a promotion going with Maxwell’s in Hoboken which was a free personal pizza with admission to their shows.

You know where this is going, right? Broccoli Rob and his band are styled as pocket protector wearing nerds straight outta Saved by the Bell as a foil to Personal’s slimeball, greaser image. I guess I’d be the total dickhead svengali figure/manager.

It gets worse, the concept was my guys would take the stage unannounced and briefly introduce themselves in a confrontational manner, saying “we heard that you people were… eating pizza!” in an accusational, outraged tone, only for Personal and his band The Pizzas to invade the stage during the Ruffage’s opening number (a sunday school singalong about the virtues of healthy eating, obv) and violently eject the poor dweebs to riotious applause.

I’m very sorry.

so they'd be like the Washington Generals?

i feel like that's the kind of deep lore/immersion i wish more bands would commit to honestly

(googles Washington Generals) yes, EXACTLY

Every band that no longer has an original member is required to rename themselves Englebert Humperdinck

the local church is advertising a concert 'From Hayden to Humperdinck' which made me do a doubletake

Super Mario Brothers but with Bowser from Sha Na Na instead of that dinosaur thing.
