'red hat society' (and variants thereof) is a very rewarding GIS, btw. I think I know how I'm gonna be spending the rest of my Friday night.

That sounds like a pretty good horror movie

a public service campaign that alerts the British populace to the damaging effects of calling each other 'm8' on the internet (i.e. it supposedly devalues and trivializes friendship)

slogan: DON'T UNDERESTIM8

the 'adverts' would appear in metro carriages or tube trolleys or whatever you guys call those things

Today I drank a can of Red Bull Tropical, which tasted like someone had eaten a mango and then thrown up. Which co-incidentally was the original formulation of Um Bongo, but they couldn't make a racist advertising jingle out of that so they had to change it.

A Tin Machine tribute band, except all the songs have lyrics that refer to Halo:

Master Chief
Master Chief
Take me anywhere
In a speeding Warthog
with guns blazing in the air
Master Chief
Master Chief

A cell phone recycling company called fuckyoudarren.com. The company will not pay you anything for your shitty old phone, but it will film somebody publicly screaming "Yeah?! Oh Yeah?! Well fuck you, Darren!" before spiking it into the sidewalk.

A screwball comedy movie called Dagnabbit, Ned Raggett!

a proximity beacon in restrooms that turns your phone into "do not disturb mode" while you are in there

ultimate american sock (mh), Thursday, 30 April 2015 14:45 (nine years ago) link

urinal proximity beacon that causes your phone to play a loud peeing sound from its speakers upon approach, relieving you of any performance anxiety

Bookmark No Bingus Permalink (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 30 April 2015 16:23 (nine years ago) link

or maybe just a speaker in every bathroom that constantly plays peeing sounds. or any sounds, I suppose, if the volume is loud enough.

i am a long time advocate for incredibly loud music in bathrooms

a film called REMAKE that gets remade and released on the same date every year with the same cast and crew and determinedly sticks faithfully to the original - leading to fans scrutinising every minute of every new release to spot the differences

Would watch the saga of Goofus vs. Gallant on the big screen.

None of those bathroom ideas are terrible, btw. As opposed to any number of widely-accepted ideas currently employed in public restrooms.

More Fetid Than Fêted (Old Lunch), Thursday, 30 April 2015 20:13 (nine years ago) link

such as leaving a gigantic gap between the stall door and frame so that everyone can see you pooping while washing their hands

I still think about Miami Dad County up thread a lot for whatever reason, and started thinking about how terrible it would be have a Salford Dads Club.

A bunch guys would get together to ride bikes like in the Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before video, but they're all old and wearing dockers and polos with big Morrisey quiffs or dressed kind of gothy with comb-overs and have reflector straps to hold their pant legs in place and have helmet-mounted rearview mirrors and their kids are riding with them in bike trailers or on little pink girl bikes with baskets.

Crazy Huge Golf - crazy golf, but scaled up so that each hole is the size of a hole on a regular golf course. So the windmill obstacle is an actual windmill, etc..

thought you'd just been unrelatedly mulling and decided it was time to bring goofus to life at last.

Sufjan Grafton, Saturday, 2 May 2015 18:47 (nine years ago) link

might be a Goofus idea. might be a Gallant idea. kinda thing that may only be learned in trying.
