i will pay 500% on the dollar, for nothing in return except financial optimism, and i'll lie to the grand jury if it comes to that

Would use. At least until a date devolved into me hollering at him/her/other "What the hell is so great about [genre I loathe]?"

a restaurant where you order food but the entire restaurant is simultaneously playing a trivia game which involves spinning a wheel and you can land on special squares which allow you to steal other tables' meals or swap them after you already started eating

I very vividly envisioned an entire commercial for a nonexistent Time-Life compilation entitled Twerk Fever, which is just a collection of disco-era hits with updated twerk-centric lyrics, all sung by the original artists. You know, 'Love to Twerk You Baby', 'He's the Greatest Twerker', 'Twerking Wonderland'. To wit, remember this popular Bee Gees number?

How good can you twerk?
How good can you twerk?
I really need to know
'Cause we're twerking in a world of grooves
Twerkin' on down
Would you like to come and see?
We're great twerkers, you and me

(I didn't say they were all disco songs, just disco-era songs.)

The video in the commercial is made up to look exactly like period clips of people in a discotheque except instead of doing the Hustle or the Saturday Night Fever they're all twerking.

This is, at minimum, a six-disc set. Order your copy now!

A dating app where you create your list of the top 10 greatest films of all time. Each profile, you swipe the movie that doesn't deserve to be on anyone's top 10 list, thereby also eliminating anyone else with that film on their top ten list. Eventually, you date no one.

I suppose it'll be nice to have it automated.

I didn't say they were all disco songs, just disco-era songs.

This is an important stipulation.

Who can forget "Twerkin' 9 to 5"?

Yeah, must be the lack of an updated FAQ keeping the new posters away.

A pizza restaurant for people who don't like a lot of noise called "Pizz & Quiet"

Party With A Jagger Ban (dog latin), Saturday, 27 February 2021 10:11 (three years ago) link

I want to open a restaurant especially for people who like to be rude to serving staff, it would be advertised as a place where customers would be allowed to be as condescending and personally insulting as they like, with no consequences.
The servers would then taint their food accordingly with fecal matter and take unauthorised extra payments from their credit cards.

The restaurant will be called "Serves You Right"

feels like a workable premise for an independent dark comedy film imo

*show

An open world RPG where you play a hot shot gambler who goes around the city playing for money. It's pretty much like the side missions in Red Dead Redemption where you play poker etc, except gambling is the main aim of the game. There's probably a story with a love interest and card cheats and crooked casino owners etc,but very little in terms of violent action moments, it's all in how you play your cards

Actually this is not a terrible idea at all and I would play this

Party With A Jagger Ban (dog latin), Tuesday, 2 March 2021 02:56 (three years ago) link

Yeah that seems like a p good idea.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 2 March 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link

Such a clearly good idea I'm surprised no one's done it (that I know of)

JRN, Wednesday, 3 March 2021 00:35 (three years ago) link

with some friends recently and staved off our starving kids by tossing them an unopened package of crackers which someone referred to as a 'sleeve of ritz' and it got compared to 'slivovitz' which led to the concept of some sort of delicacy where plum brandy is injected into sealed tubes of ritz crackers and left to macerate until a boozy gelatinous paste forms.

We pictured an overly earnest 2010 charcuterie provisions restaurant with a tattooed mustachioed person lovingly preparing grey tubes of slivovitz sleeves-of-ritz to hang and age in their brooklyn/portland storefront

Seriously, this stuff would sell. See "amusingly wrong band/pic combination", "author name in metal font" etc.
