A "re-edit" of Who's Next consisting just of extended versions of the cool keyboard parts -- so basically just the intros to Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again and maybe the keyboard solo from Bargain.

a conceptual "depressed guy" standup comedy routine in which I don't actually tell jokes, I just go on for my whole set complaining and moaning about how bad things are and sighing (but in the sort of "rhythm" of standup comedy), and then at the very end I suddenly become highly energized and shout "THANKS VERY MUCH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOU'VE BEEN A FANTASTIC AUDIENCE!"

I was thinking about those old step-by-step "how to draw x" manuals, and I was thinking about how the illustrator actually had to redraw each prior step for each step (e.g. for step 3 the illustrator had to draw 1-3, for step 4 he had to draw 1-4), and I was thinking there should be an infinite recursion version of this called "How to Draw 'How to Draw X'"

My wife and her brother grew up in a super small town named Dollar Bay; bro-in-law and I have invented a fake rap festival to be held there named BALLER DAY and have been making up performers for the lineup based on dumb inside jokes (Dissmore, Billy Grippo the Eastside Specialist, Stucchi Arms, Point Mills).

christian fennesz and ryuichi sakamoto both start wearing wraparound shades and matching outfits to compliment their similar hair textures. and lots of keytars... frequent keytar changes between songs.

brimstead, Friday, 4 October 2013 02:00 (ten years ago) link

Haha

You'd think that you could just change the keytar settings to change the sounds, but no, they switch to entirely new keytars

"Risk" actually seems like a viable premise for a show. Set it in the Gilded Age...people insuring railway and steamship cargo, lots of interesting period settings and novelties to spin episodes out of, like all the trivia in The Great Train Robbery, plus the rising tide of disgruntled Progressivism could give it an edge of present-day social commentary with scenes lifted out of The Octopus and The Jungle, etc. Plus, lots of fin-de-siecle sex.

mad men-style period drama about an insurance company called "Risk" where all of the actuaries are obsessed with the popular board game Risk - to the detriment of their work productivity. John Laroquette stars as the office manager who is determined to get his employees back on task. But it turns out that he is also getting into Risk to the detriment of HIS productivity!

An episode of Torchwood where an old Pete Townshend that just works in a hotel and never joined a band, finds some old war-time era dirty magazines in a trunk and then tries to work out a melody in the shower before having a seizure and then the opening music starts.

A range of Irish themed Christmas Crackers for those terrible Irish theme pubs. Sample joke:


Q: What did the Irish policeman say to the drug dealer?
A: "I'm here for the crack"

(I know that the proper term is 'garda' and the correct spelling is 'craic', but remember that these crackers are aimed at the kind of people who go to Irish theme pubs that are called things like 'Finnegan's Wake')

I had this wacky idea a few years ago for a device like a CPU heatsink that you'd attach to your wrist to keep you cool in summer. But I dismissed it as being stupid. Now it turns out that not doing something about was a terrible idea, because I could have been doing this at MIT:

(although to be fair it's a bit more sophisticated than my idea of strapping a CPU heatsink & fan to your wrist)
