Have seen that but instead the dentist it was a surgeon and instead of my mouth it was my arsehole. Would recommend

a new game called "Storytellers". One player picks a card, which has an occupation printed on it. That player must say 3 descriptive sentences about that occupation that are definitely true, but are vague enough that it's difficult to tell what exactly the occupation is. The fourth sentence is always "So really, I guess you could say that I'm a storyteller." If someone guesses the occupation correctly, they get a point. If nobody guesses correctly, the storyteller gets the point. The first to five points wins, and so really, I guess you could say that they're a storyteller.

a player at 4 points, i.e. close to winning, is said to be "in the garage." when a player wins, they press a button on a little plastic speaker attached to the plastic cards receptacle and some generic blues guitar riffs play for 30 seconds.

this seems like it would be a basically acceptable/popular party game tbh

Okay so I just got a Bosch dishwasher and I think it would be fun if every time I opened it, there were a different hellish scene of ridiculously willowy demons, some with six faces, some with trumpets in their butts, and some that are chewing on each other.

Ad campaign: with a Hieronymus Bosch dishwasher, you never know what you'll see.

Get outta here with that brilliant idea, terrible ideas only. To wit, I have piles of laundry to do and a laundry room that's too far away. My eyes wander over to the dishwasher... but no, surely that's mad! Yet my gaze still lingers.

This is a vintage terrible idea, but my memory was jogged after seeing a Grunt Style shirt yesterday. When I was a teenager in the early 1990s, I got the idea to start a political t-shirt company. I was inspired by Michael Stipe wearing all those different t-shirts at the MTV awards.

https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/3gaOVVxTQuo98XVvi0v_FA--~A/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjtzbT0xO3c9NjAwO2g9MzY1O2lsPXBsYW5l/https://67.media.tumblr.com/a694840f2e260e19ad0f658840a446c4/tumblr_inline_ocfe4ox6os1tdqyd7_1280.jpg

I felt like these were a step in the right direction, but I wanted to see something that captured my anger more (I can't remember any of my proposed slogans, thank god) and with graphics that were more stylized, like skateboard shirts. So the name of my company was going to be Bold Statements Wear, with the logo being a "B.S." on the sleeve.

nah, man. he's raising awareness of the rainforest. prior to that shirt, I was unaware of the existence of rainforest.

I want a line of t-shirts like that but it's more confident in its approach. all nouns, but followed with periods.

RAINFOREST.

But the text must be positioned such that it's still visible when the wearer is defiantly crossing their arms as if they were in the opening credits of a reality competition show.

A Quantum Leap-esque series wherein the protagonist is tasked with making things super awkward for entertainers of the past by confronting them with their discordant future works. Like going to the Haight during a Jefferson Airplane gig and playing 'Hearts' for all assembled, that sort of thing.

Had a dream about this one just before I woke up: introducing Presimalgams, He-Man-esque action figures that mash up US presidents. Imagine a combination of Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland, or George W. Bush and Grover Cleveland. The possibilities are basically limitless.

Any idea that gives Ted Cruz any kind of advantage over other people is absolutely a terrible idea, I agree.

a wine mail-order subscription service, which pairs a bottle each week with a new work by merleau-ponty, it's called "humanisme et terroir"

Alternatively, a similar service that includes a microbrew, a shirt, and wa new work by Hunter S. Thompson.

It would be called "Beer and Clothing."

A version of Tetris where all the blocks are the 2x2 square, and the width of the bucket is an odd number of sub-squares. So the game is essential unplayable and over very quickly.

There could be a Tetris 99 onliine multiplayer version, which would just be 100 people shrugging their shoulders and going WTF?!

Being cheap is expensive (snoball), Friday, 7 February 2020 13:03 (four years ago) link

I'm picturing an alternative mode which is just one giant rectangle, one block narrower than the width of the board, slowly dropping and eventually filling the entire board. Except for that one empty column, of course.

Sammo Hazuki's Tago Mago Cantina (Old Lunch), Friday, 7 February 2020 13:39 (four years ago) link

And maybe have a display on the side showing that the next block up is a 1x4.

Sammo Hazuki's Tago Mago Cantina (Old Lunch), Friday, 7 February 2020 13:41 (four years ago) link

I don't think the 2x2-only game would be over very quickly. It'd quickly be too easy to be considered a game, though.

zuck zuck lucify (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 7 February 2020 15:32 (four years ago) link

this reminds me of the time I played a pc version of tetris and for whatever reason for just this one game basically 3 out of every 4 blocks was a 4x1. I made a ridiculously high score and I never got that weird glitch again after that so there was always this completely unattainable high score.

So anyway, turn this bug into a feature in Tetris 99, make it so it happens like maybe once every 1000 games or whatever.

silverfish, Friday, 7 February 2020 16:32 (four years ago) link

A version of Tetris where you wait and wait and the blocks never fall and then eventually digital rain starts to fall instead and the game board slowly fills with digital water and then like twenty minutes later one sad little block ploops into the water and slowly sinks to the bottom.

avocado insurance. you pay them a $10 premium every month (or $90 upfront for the year), and they will replace all of your large pitted, speckled, or stringy avocado purchases. you can also get coverage for damages sustained when you unknowingly give a bad avo to a friend and feel like shit about it afterward.
