app/site that would be like Yelp but only for rating/reviewing property & business owners based on their sidewalk shoveling/clearing after snowstorms

Last night, after successfully changing a shit diaper on the small tile counter in the tiny bathroom in the basement of a Mexican restaurant while the kid screamed, I decided I want to make some sort of social network / check-in / game app where you post diaper changes and get points based on difficulty or unusualness of the circumstances. Obviously it would be called Diapr.

Brickgun: an FPS game where the player is armed with a gun that fires bricks, so they can build chest high walls to duck behind while their health regenerates.

Brickgun totally viable as either a cute indie pixel-art non-FPS action-puzzle game, or as one of many weapons in an FPS committed to wacky high-concept hijinks.

At the end of a play, if the audience applauds enough, the actors should come back out and do a short mini-play or some sort of epilogue to the main play as an encore

A site that looks exactly like Indeed except that instead of listing jobs it lists drug dealers you can hold up and it's called ohindeed.com.

LJ can u at least confine your inane music snobbery to the two week top-77 rollout period, thanks

that's a great idea, gr80

lol snobbery != visceral repulsion, but note the thread I posted it to, the urge to cavil is subsumed beneath letting live, poll rollout will never be the same again etc

Set up a charitable foundation, buy a house with a shed or guest house on the property, do a bunch of crappy paintings, set up a "museum" in the shed, "donate" the paintings to the museum, get tax breaks.

You'd think with song titles like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "The Great Pretender", there'd be more punk versions:

Whittlemare, a film about a child who discovers that a wooden toy horse is the secret key that enables his divorced robot parents to communicate with each other.

that bone broth thread gave me an idea for a sketch about "Paleo Moms" who get health benefits for themselves and their children by cutting out and eating the hearts of their enemies.

A commercial for maternity jeans in which a fetus sings "Is there any more room for me in those jeans?"

terrible idea from my unconscious mind which somehow showed up in a dream a couple of days ago:

A sequel to Kindergarten Cop where Arnold Schwarzenegger is protecting his kindergarten class from wave after wave of school shooters. Somehow, it still remains a comedy.

A cover of Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme, but replacing the saxophone part with some one singing "Burzum" over and over again.

a line of artificial fruit drinks called After You Brush that taste good even right after you've brushed your teeth

a line of natural fruit drinks called 3 Hours Later... which you can enjoy after the effect of the toothpaste has worn off (a 2-pack of After You Brush and 3 Hours Later... could easily get you through the day)

an After You Brush test kit that uses a saliva sample to determine whether it's ok to drink fruit juice

an After You Brush phone app that texts you 3 hours after you've brushed your teeth to let you know that it's ok to drink fruit juice (but it isn't as accurate as the After You Brush test kit)

i ain't marchant anymore (unregistered), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 16:30 (nine years ago) link

a line of toothpaste (secretly manufactured by a competitor of After You Brush) that doesn't affect the taste of fruit juice

i ain't marchant anymore (unregistered), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 16:31 (nine years ago) link

you've really covered all the bases

Ratt in Mi Kitchen (Neil S), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 16:36 (nine years ago) link

^the toothpaste would be called Even After You Brush (xpost)

i ain't marchant anymore (unregistered), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 16:42 (nine years ago) link

a chewing gum (secretly manufactured by After You Brush) called Fresh Breath that secretly contains sodium lauryl sulfate, the same chemical that makes fruit juice taste bitter after you've brushed your teeth. the popularity of Fresh Breath causes Even After You Brush's sales to plummet as consumers of both products are convinced that the toothpaste is useless

a breath spray called Fresher Breath (secretly manufactured by Even After You Brush slogan: "spray after you chew for even fresher breath!") that counteracts the effect of sodium lauryl sulfate, whether the source is toothpaste or gum

i ain't marchant anymore (unregistered), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 16:45 (nine years ago) link

a scathing Michael Moore documentary called Truthpaste that exposes the sodium laurel sulfate racket

I went to a Packers game last year at Lambeau field and there are dozens of bars around, some of which had ironic-but-not-that-ironic hair metal bands made up of people in their 30s and 40s playing in the parking lots for the drunken fans.

I think there ought to be a movie based on this somehow, with someone like Jack Black or Will Ferrell playing members of a band who end up in conflict with some young upstarts who are cashing in on the lucrative Lambeau field hair metal tailgating scene but aren't legit metal fans, with comic relief from wacky bratwurst vendors and a charter bus full of dudes like my father in law who rode down from Upper Michigan with a bunch of guys from his golf course and spent the weekend colossally wasted.

There should also be some scene where a mysterious stranger who looks like Vince Lombardi offers sage advice or a verbal ass-kicking right when our protagonist is at his lowest. But was he real, or just a figment of his imagination?

Eventually both bands team up or something to fight off a developer from CHICAGO who is secret BEARS FAN and the movie ends with scenes of them rocking out to each other's bands while drinking 16oz cans of Old Milwaukee and eating bratwurst covered with cheese curds at 10am.

This, by the way, is one of the bands I saw play:

Start a moving company called Juicy Brutes. The theme song is just like Juicy Fruit - "Juicy Brutes, they're gonna move ya! Juicy Brutes, they get right to ya! Juicy Brutes, they're really really really gonna mooooove ya!". I would make the moving brutes wear shorts that say "JUICY" across the butt
