A lifesize plastic reindeer head with antlers and glowing red nose for attaching to the front of your bicycle during the festive season.

they do similar beasties for those ubiquitous micro scooters so it shouldn't be too hard.

that said, a front-facing red light might be illegal.

Definitely the main reason why it's terrible, otherwise I'm certain it would fly off the shelves. Would have to be more waterproof than those scooter ones though.

I feel like bicycle reindeer heads would be big with the bacon/zombie/comedy horsehead crowd.

New James Taylor project wherein the singer/songwriter turns out a set of gritty, contemporary protest songs: Occupy Sweet Baby James

A long-running tv series where the protagonist travels back in time to three months previous, but in the course of the first episode's events the time machine breaks/portal closes and they are stuck. The rest of the series will detail their attempts to adjust to their new life while trying to get back to their own time, even though much more than three months would pass over the course of the series.

I'd read that 5 times in a row to my kid.

Speaking of my kid, his behavior in the dining room the other day made me imagine a band that played early 2000s screamo songs in the style of Dave Matthews and/or vice versa, as I imagine the fans of both of those would pretty much hate each other's music. The band would be called Under The Table And Screaming.

joygoat, Monday, 14 December 2015 23:22 (eight years ago) link

I think screamo vocals over DMB-style instrumentation would be a good permutation of that idea.

It would be an improvement. at least

of course, on those songs where dave matthews himself attempts a deep, rumbling growl (e.g. "halloween" and, well, "grave digger") the surprisingly melodious, angel-voiced bassist would take the mic

Opening a pub called "Wood's", just so every winter people can say "What are you doing later?" "Oh you know, just stopping by Wood's on a snowy evening."

we have a Woodes cafe and a The Woods bar

kinder, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 14:04 (eight years ago) link

There's a bar called The Woods here but it's heinous and douchey and the definite article would throw off the poem anyway.

It needs a 'NO BEARS ALLOWED' sign on the restroom door, which would definitively answer that question.

^ Just went the whole morning substituting "pajamas" for "depression" in songs.

I'm goin' where, there's no pajamas. In a better land, that's free from sin.

And I'm dealing with someone's pajamas. And I don't want to deal with someone's pajamas.

Pajamas got a hold of me. Pajamas, I gotta break free.

When everyone in my family has opened their Christmas gifts from me this year and they're giving me puzzled looks once they start to realize that the seemingly-random gifts all begin with the letter 'k', I'll play the Kay Jewelers jingle I have cued up on my phone. And their loathing will be justified.

I just saw the below headline on the Times website, which I think could accurately be described as "tastelessly understated"
