Any movie or TV show with horses in it need to list the horses in the credits, with character names.
Like for House of the Dragon it'd be like:
DAEMON TARGARYEN....MATT SMITH

i really want to see the prequel where they meet and fall in love while hunting humans. the meet cute, the instant mutual dislike, followed by the beginnings of a grudging respect when they are forced to work together to eradicate humanity, then the climactic moment when one must sacrifice itself to save the other, the tearful confessions of love and farewell, the miraculous resurrection! and together they zoom off into space, leaving the charred remains of the earth behind them.

A combined tapas bar and drop-in anger management therapy centre for people who are hangry.
IDK if this is the right place for this, but my daughter and I were riffing on the idea (maybe a kids' book? comedy sketch?) about a man who doesn't understand stop signs, because there's no accompanying go sign. So basically the first time he drives a car, he stops at the first stop sign and then just stays there for like 30 minutes, traffic building up behind him, honking irate drivers, and he eventually calls the person he's visiting to tell them "Listen, I'm sorry I'm running late, I'm stuck at a stop sign." In the end, when it's finally explained to him, he lobbies his town to change all of the stop signs to say "Stop, and then Go"
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 10 February 2023 19:52 (one year ago) link
Or he lobbies for "Go signs" every few meters on every roadside.

Maybe he could invent an entirely mechanical Stop/Go sign that switches between the two states by some Rube Goldberg mechanism, all the while completely oblivious to the existance of traffic lights?
― Being cheap is expensive (snoball), Friday, 10 February 2023 20:06 (one year ago) link
He invents a device for four-way stopsigns where they are all attached to each other via gears and chains, so that when certain signs say stop, others say go, but then he realizes that this gets in the way of trucks, so he develops a really tall version, but then no one can see them.
