(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.

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

ian, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 04:19 (sixteen years ago)

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

Suggest Bander-Meinhof Complex (sarahel), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 04:22 (sixteen years ago)

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

we like cars, we like cartoons (dyao), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 04:23 (sixteen years ago)

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

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

ian, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 04:29 (sixteen years ago)

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.

Suggest Bander-Meinhof Complex (sarahel), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 04:33 (sixteen years ago)

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

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.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 17 October 2009 03:43 (sixteen years ago)

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

ian, Saturday, 17 October 2009 04:11 (sixteen years ago)

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

ian, Saturday, 17 October 2009 04:12 (sixteen 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.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 17 October 2009 21:29 (sixteen years ago)

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

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 (sixteen years ago)

i'm sure she'd be flattered

sarahel, Thursday, 29 October 2009 04:43 (sixteen years ago)

yeah, i'd rather get some snuggling tbh.

ian, Thursday, 29 October 2009 04:46 (sixteen years ago)

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.

ian, Thursday, 29 October 2009 04:46 (sixteen years ago)

be careful.

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.

joygoat, Thursday, 29 October 2009 04:59 (sixteen years ago)

redemption song still the show stopper.

ian, Thursday, 29 October 2009 05:01 (sixteen years ago)

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'"

three weeks pass...

A novelty rap single called Super Mario Party, except you can tell the writers didn't know a great deal about Super Mario or gaming, and were working from a rough brief. So all the lyrics are about how Mario likes to get drunk and party a lot, and how his landlady shouts at him for slamming the front door at 3am. There are lines about he and the Princess like to "fool around" .
