your terrible ideas

Whenever I hear "aerobics" I still remember my mom heading off to a class at the library in a leotard in the mid 80s

That's what I mean, only instead of Jane Fonda ppl are working out to Mother Sky.

my mum owned this and many others (yes including Jazzercise)

Mother Skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I did Jane Fonda workout in gym class in gradeschool. It was fun! If there were better music, it would be fun today.
Welcome to my terrible idea.

Heh, there was a great women speaker series over the course of the last couple years touring through and my mom sighed a lot and said things about Jane Fonda maybe being a little ill-advised in the 70s. No conclusions on her fitness output, yet.

I don't think your idea counts as a terrible idea, LL. It sounds pretty great to me!

btw I do not quite believe in that Mother Sky breakdancing, LL. seems more like an aerobics jam, unlike Vitamin C

I don't think it's a terrible idea either, but it's my guess that most people would not want to do a 15 min aerobic dance routine. OR WOULD THEY?!

The breakdancing was just this noodly little kid -- there was no Can whatsoever. It was a red herring.

* kick-starting Vitamin C week on ILX

this all sounds a lot like the kraftwerk-out idea that there's a thread for

a rapper named Drachma who raps about ancient Greece

Debut album could be called "What's a Greek urn?".

The Popepoopmobile. Basically the same as a Popemobile, but with blacked out windows. Say that the Pope is out in the Popemobile, and suddenly needs to poop? No problem! Simply bring out the Popepoopmobile, reverse it so it's back to back with the Popemobile, and open the doors. The Pope can move from the Popemobile to the Popepoopmobile, which includes a toilet, do his business, then move back to the Popemobile and carry on waving to the crowds.

for rapper called Drachma, album name could also be Get ur Greek urn (or on, it's up to the artist)

A Middle Eastern 'Hunky Dory' era Bowie tribute act called Hummus Superior.

a joke whose punchline was "that's a whisk I'm willing to take!"

I've never made tamales before, so they may come out terrible, but that's a husk I'm willing to bake

I once had an idea -- one I thought was clever at the time -- to name a band "The Varieties" after William James' "The Varities of Religious Experience" (and as a nod to the name The Doors as tribute to "The Doors of Perception"). I think this was a genuinely terrible idea, and not just in a funny way.

A kickstarter project to fund a badly needed heart transplant called Kickstart My Heart

(lol)

Actually feeling this as a kickstarter satire idea, maybe as a video

Create comic strip in which Garfield is relocated to Manhattan apartment and has wacky adventures with new "Jon" Jerry Seinfeld, name strip Garfeld

lol

I could kind of see an Elaine as Cathy comic

Kramerduke

a new yorker short story that begins "He was the sort of man more David Lee Roth than Philip Roth, if you know what I mean (and I know that you do)."

The Kinds of Roths That There Are

A reality show called America's Next False Messiah where would-be prophets compete for followers

^ i love that one

a band called The Crew Seders

BTO-sampling rap song in the style of early-to-mid-90s Snoop Dogg, titled "Takin' Care of Shiznits".

soulsearch.com, an evangelical christian search engine that honors the lord EVERY day

variable frequency electrical grid to try to put an end to dogmatic thinking

Scarlet and blue reclining chair called a Barça Lounger

NPR call-in show about clock repair questions called Tick Talk

i lold

hahahahah

so many of these are excellent ideas

based on a misread headline, I came up with the idea that Apple should design a "smart" home/landline phone.

econ and finance pickup lines:

"Have you ever heard of the tulip craze? Cause your two lips drive me crazy"

a terius nash cover band in a sabbath/lizzy mode called "axe mariah"

Larp/sca-oriented paramore cover titled "chivalry business"

so many of these are excellent ideas

fantasy sex league

10-12 participants draft a set of personality traits, settings, music, sex moves, etc. for example, if you have the first round pick you might select the most charming/sexy partner, but later in the draft you're biting yourself because the only soundtrack left is smash mouth's "walking on the sun". or you just use up an early pick on great abs, but you're dismayed when later in the draft you realize that you have to select a knee (?!?) and the only knee left is completely fucked up, like backwards with the bone sticking out.

anyway, when the draft is over, the resulting combinations for each participants are rendered and displayed in a manner that kind of looks like this - http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html - only it's sex instead.

podcast about interesting stuff in the world of video games, but for a non-gamer audience, called Mashing The Buttons

Would listen; disqualified

Yeah, that's a genuine good idea! Lock down the domain name now IMO.

later in the draft you realize that you have to select a knee (?!?) and the only knee left is completely fucked up, like backwards with the bone sticking out.

use of the following phrase for a monster slam dunk over defenders: "OH! HARDEN TAKES IT TO THE TERRORISTS ON THEIR HOME TURF!"
