"Breakaway" musical equipment -- basically guitars, amps etc. that are designed to "break" on stage when you smash them but actually survive, e.g. the guitar is pre-split and held together by wires or something.

Like Crash Test Dummy action playsets! A good idea.

a trolling/prank site sort of in the style of LMGTFY called "GoFundYourself" -- like you would link to it every time someone hits you up with an annoying gofundme.

This was an Invention Exchange on an old MST3K episode!

Sharia Laws and Lambchop (The Yellow Kid), Thursday, 18 August 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link

it's very possible I saw that episode and the idea was in the recesses of my brain as a result. I watched a lot of that show when I was younger.

I've just eaten a Sainsbury's raspberry tiramisu - basically a regular tiramisu, except that underneath the regular cocoa/marscapone/Marsala top half, instead of coffee liqueur soaked sponge, it had mashed up raspberries and regular sponge. My terrible idea it to do the reverse of that, so the coffee liqueur soaked sponge is topped with a layer of English style yellow custard and then a layer of whipped cream topped with hundreds and thousands.

A theme restaurant where you must state your order to the waiter i.e. "I want the No. 3 with extra horseradish."

I've been watching Pee Wee's Playhouse with my kid and Hannibal with my wife and now I really want to see a Pee Wee's Playhouse movie with Scott Thompson in some sort of nemesis role, like he moves into a similar but even wackier playhouse right next door.

Been thinking Krispy Kreme should introduce a product called the Krispy Kreme Creepy Clown Cronut.

Not spelling it with all Ks though because that joke seemed too on the nose or something.

Saw something on facebook last night about how people shouldn't be idiots and wear played out Harambe costumes for halloween, and as I was falling asleep thought about how somebody should dress as Beyonce while eating pork, drinking alcohol, and offering loans with interest so they could be HARAM BEY for halloween.

Such a stupid joke but I was all hazy and found it hilarious as I was lying in bed for a minute
