your terrible ideas

Tommy Lee Jones as head of mall security

He's the guy responsible for hitting the button that creates the "snakes"/"chutes" but he comes around in the end

A buddy picture about an older "street smart" stock trader and a younger "quant" stock trader. Each begins skeptical of the other, but by the end realizes he has a thing or two to learn, and no one cares because they are both despicable, soulless people.

getting supermarkets to replace their automated checkouts with celebrity voices like Maggie Thatcher and Frank Bruno, a bit like how they sometimes do with satnavs.

these all should be sung by aaron neville

same for the WALK indication of accessible pedestrian signals

"ooohoho walk"
"woah ho halk"
"wahahalk"

By the time you figure out what he's trying to say, the light has changed again.

I want to open one of these frozen yogurt places with the self-serve machines, only the yogurt comes out of fake plastic butts. And the name of my establishment? Why, it's Doo Me A Flavor, of course.

I guess I could up the ante by only offering Nathan For You's poo-flavored frozen yogurt.

An audiobook of EL James' 'Grey', in the voice of EL Wisty.

A cover version of Harpo's song 'Movie Star' titled 'Porno Star'.

A Pitchfork longform music writing spinoff called Longfork.

I want to write a fake (but not obviously satirical) trend piece about couples using selfie sticks at the altar.

a site for half-arsed, ill-thought-out, underfunded and inevitably abandoned charity efforts - www.just-give-in.com

A band called synagogves

A band called mosqves

Mad Max: Furry Road

a dating site called NotMyCousin that pairs up people with the same last name, targeted at single men and women who don't want to change their names after marriage but don't feel comfortable going by different surnames. a resident genealogist would screen potential matches to ensure that they weren't too closely related, and members would be able to specify the nearest degree of relation they'd be willing to fuck (with) — ex. "nothing closer than third cousin" or "anything goes".

in response to the proliferation of incest fetishists, NotMyCousin would ban first- and second-cousin matches, spawning the spinoff dating site HotMyCousin. feds would shut down both sites after about a month.

A website like Tinder or Grindr, but just for people who prefer to masturbate by themselves with no-one else in the room, called Wankr.

appropriate display name

I kind of assumed that's what this was for

Bate-r

A room of your own

Find beautiful, private spaces that can be reserved for any length of time – a short 30 minute recharge or an entire day of productivity. It’s up to you.

For dads who live in studio apartments

How about a Japanese style capsule hotel, that rents the capsules in 15 minute increments. Call it... the Wank Tank.

A movie about a fictitious Italian-Jewish NYC gang called the Pizza Bagels

A split 7-inch of Yoko Ono and Annie Lennox each covering the other's version of 'Why'.

WHY
no Carly Simon?

I think we could expand it into a singles club of similar, equally-inadvisable song swaps.

I recently became fascinated by how hip-hop many songs there are with "woodgrain" in the title there are, like dozens upon dozens of songs called "Woodgrain Wheel" "Woodgrain Grippin" etc. So I started making a Spotify mix of them, got to like 4 hours, culled it very slightly, and then realized that I had completely left out dozens more songs because I had only included songs with "woodgrain" in the title and not "wood grain" in the title.

Some day if I ever finish it I may post the mix/playlist to ILM.

There's a local pub bank called Fake ID. Terrible idea: start a Fake ID tribute band called Fake Fake ID, then another tribute band called Real ID, and have the two tribute bands have a fierce rivalry over which of them is the most authentic to the original band.

And it's doubly a terrible idea because IRL the actual genuine Fake ID don't play any original material.

couple nights ago i had a dream where i was in a college setting, hanging out w/ people, and i was interested in this one girl. later on i was at a football game, and looked across the crowd and saw the girl on the sidelines with ben dreyfuss, son of richard dreyfuss and editor at mother jones magazine. they were laughing and taking their clothes off and once naked started streaking the field together, and the crowd started going crazy. i was like, welp, guess that's it for me and her.

anyway my terrible idea was to tweet all this @ ben dreyfuss

please do that

logging back in to ILX!!!
