That doesn't really seem like a terrible idea. It might arguably be corny, but I'm sure a lot of people would buy it. Is there an etch-a-sketch app?

a website called doihavechops.com where you can upload a clip of your guitar playing and it will tell you if you have chops or not. an animated humanoid guitar will pop up and say stuff like "that was some sick shredding!" or "move over, Stevie Ray!" or "careful with that axe, Eugene!" (or maybe just "yes, you have chops"). it would only give positive feedback because guitarists have vv fragile egos.

floater implants: voluntary eye surgery to give people new floaters or modify their existing ones. maybe you were born with a little wormy floater and you want to make it look like a cobra. or maybe you want to see the name of Allah or your girlfriend's face or the Kiss logo every time you stare at a blank wall. absent-minded people can even get floaters that spell out "take 10 mg of Accupril (triangular brown pill) twice daily" or form a map of where they live. it's a non-reversible procedure & if you do it too much you will probably go blind.

The guy driving the truck according to Baton Rouge Police Cpl. Tommy Stubbs actually pulled off and drove to the police station himself. Neither of the men were arrested or charged for the incident.Apparently the guy driving the truck took the guy on the hood of the trucks "Shimp" sign from his shrimp booth and he jumped on the hood as he tried to drive off.
