By the time you figure out what he's trying to say, the light has changed again.

I want to open one of these frozen yogurt places with the self-serve machines, only the yogurt comes out of fake plastic butts. And the name of my establishment? Why, it's Doo Me A Flavor, of course.

I guess I could up the ante by only offering Nathan For You's poo-flavored frozen yogurt.

I want to write a fake (but not obviously satirical) trend piece about couples using selfie sticks at the altar.

"Tell them I'm in a meeting purlease" (snoball), Sunday, 13 September 2015 19:25 (ten years ago)

a dating site called NotMyCousin that pairs up people with the same last name, targeted at single men and women who don't want to change their names after marriage but don't feel comfortable going by different surnames. a resident genealogist would screen potential matches to ensure that they weren't too closely related, and members would be able to specify the nearest degree of relation they'd be willing to fuck (with) — ex. "nothing closer than third cousin" or "anything goes".

in response to the proliferation of incest fetishists, NotMyCousin would ban first- and second-cousin matches, spawning the spinoff dating site HotMyCousin. feds would shut down both sites after about a month.

A website like Tinder or Grindr, but just for people who prefer to masturbate by themselves with no-one else in the room, called Wankr.

Find beautiful, private spaces that can be reserved for any length of time – a short 30 minute recharge or an entire day of productivity. It’s up to you.

I think we could expand it into a singles club of similar, equally-inadvisable song swaps.

Too Many Butts (Old Lunch), Thursday, 17 September 2015 14:53 (ten years ago)

I recently became fascinated by how hip-hop many songs there are with "woodgrain" in the title there are, like dozens upon dozens of songs called "Woodgrain Wheel" "Woodgrain Grippin" etc. So I started making a Spotify mix of them, got to like 4 hours, culled it very slightly, and then realized that I had completely left out dozens more songs because I had only included songs with "woodgrain" in the title and not "wood grain" in the title.

Some day if I ever finish it I may post the mix/playlist to ILM.

There's a local pub bank called Fake ID. Terrible idea: start a Fake ID tribute band called Fake Fake ID, then another tribute band called Real ID, and have the two tribute bands have a fierce rivalry over which of them is the most authentic to the original band.

"Tell them I'm in a meeting purlease" (snoball), Sunday, 20 September 2015 09:47 (ten years ago)

And it's doubly a terrible idea because IRL the actual genuine Fake ID don't play any original material.

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 30 September 2015 21:22 (ten years ago)

couple nights ago i had a dream where i was in a college setting, hanging out w/ people, and i was interested in this one girl. later on i was at a football game, and looked across the crowd and saw the girl on the sidelines with ben dreyfuss, son of richard dreyfuss and editor at mother jones magazine. they were laughing and taking their clothes off and once naked started streaking the field together, and the crowd started going crazy. i was like, welp, guess that's it for me and her.

anyway my terrible idea was to tweet all this @ ben dreyfuss

I was listening to music on shuffle while with my kids and suddenly Lana Del Rey's "Fucked my way to the top" started playing. I started imagining a slightly more kid friendly version of this song called "Hugged my way to the top".

A series of NFL-themed all-male bukkake films called MAN COVERAGE where the receiver wears one team's uniform and the 11 ejaculators all wear an another team's.

My combinatronics math is not good but I feel like there would be an astronomical number of pairings of teams (32!, perhaps? that doesn't seem right).
