The Good Idea/Bad Idea Game

[Red Hessian]

Good idea for the lulz, but depends in which part of the world you would organize it. It would probably work in the US, but in my neck of the woods people simply wouldn't give a damn, in Eastern Europe you'd get arrested, and in Egypt or Turkey you'd be in for a water cannon bath and a face full of tear gas.

 

A mandatory vacation in a mental hospital for everyone who rated Pacific Rim 8,0 on IMDB.

[Alkonium]

Good idea. 8's way too low for Pacific Rim.

 

Demanding trial by combat in a modern courtroom.

[Darth Avlectus]

Good idea: It'll get rid of frivolous lawsuits.

 

Using improperly equipped cheap angle grinders in mechanisms designed to cause the grinding/cutting wheel to shatter violently in a known trajectory meant for maiming, all automated, as part of your home security measures as countermeasures against intruders.

[Totenkopf]

"Bloody good" till acidentally tripped by a loved one.

 

Only telling the truth when you can't avoid it.

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. Lies catch up to you eventually.

 

Putting Game of Thrones on the History Channel.

[Red Hessian]

Fantastic idea. I can't remember the last time I saw something good on the History Channel.

 

Walking around the supermarket with a baseball bat while whistling "A-hunting we will go."

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. Noone will not be intimidated by that.

 

Starting a cult that denies the existence of Thursdays, requires its followers to wear fake beards at all times if they can't grow real ones, and believes that the best way to convert people is to lick their faces.

[CommanderQ]

Bad idea, as the dedicated Friday cultists (militant fundamentalists who demand that their beards be real, whilst wearing Russian fur caps) will likely declare that all days of the week are sacred as they lead up, inevitably, to Friday. Holy war.

 

Deciding to become the reincarnation of Ayn Rand while actively taking Speed.

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. Ayn Rand's philosophy has caused enough damage as it is.

 

Eating all your meat live.

[CommanderQ]

Good Idea. Nothing causes satisfaction like crushing your food, seeing it eaten before you, and hearing the lamentations of its puppies.

 

Creating a fortress made out of cardboard boxes in the middle of Walmart, locking down the store, and forcing the residents to participate in a slightly more American version of Battle Royale, only around a cardboard fort.

[Darth Avlectus]

Excellent idea. Kind of like pitching a tent in the furniture asile and making a fort of pillow cushions and telling service employees they may only enter if they bring along hot cocoa and have a duel with nerf swords.

(BTW Nice to see you back CommanderQ!)

 

Using duct tape to clog a muffler.

[Alkonium]

Good idea. If it's good enough for Red Green, it should be good enough for you.

 

Making a spacesuit out of duct tape.

[Darth Avlectus]

Not sure I can make it purely out of duct tape, but I'll prototype it with other parts when I'm finished!

 

Making a law that punishes congress exempting itself from or being taxpayer subsidized for any mandated policy with people all over the country being allowed to play nail the jackass to the politician with a hammer, nails and aluminum jackasses with no penalty to those citizens for acting against the politicians.

[Totenkopf]

Bad idea....not severe enough.

 

Painting yourself into a corner internationally and then stupidly doing it domestically as well.

[Darth Avlectus]

Good idea, good enough to run for office. :devfire:

 

 

Using muriatic acid with hydrogen peroxide for etching circuitboards instead of using ferric chloride.

[Alkonium]

Good idea, especially if you want to pickle anything particularly metallic.

 

Wearing bright plaid to a wedding, regardless of whose it is.

[Darth Avlectus]

Bad idea: Just on account of having DJMC'd so many receptions.

 

Wearing plain to a plad wedding

[Totenkopf]

Bad idea.....the bride will prob murder you.

 

Wearing pants on pants optional day at work.

[Darth Avlectus]

Neutral: Some pants don't have any purpose as actually being pants. It depends.

 

Telling Grand Moff Kilran to go **** a parrot.

[Totenkopf]

Neutral. He's a pixelated toon and can't hurt you.

 

Telling Sam Jackson he has to fly w/m***** f****** snakes on his m***** f****** plane.

[Trench]

Neutral. Depends on how much you enjoy being called a m*****f*****.

 

Feeding copious amounts of wasabi and sriracha to someone who has tasted neither, and filming their reaction.

[Darth Avlectus]

Good idea: you should also ask Ric flair about taking people out to drink while being the designated driver, and taking a camera to the event for good blackmailing fun.

 

A staring contest with Weegee.

[purifier]

Dangerous idea. Read somewhere he could stare you to death. Unless you gouge out his eyeballs.

 

 

Building your second house underground, in case you lose your first house to a tornado.

[Totenkopf]

Neutral. Location, location, location (ie stay away from fault lines being but one eg.)

 

Putting an undetectable tracking device in your spouse's wedding ring.

[Darth Avlectus]

Neutral-bad: Unless you have a nanotech hookup, I don't see that being probable for one. Another thing is if you're spying on your spouse like that...that should be a sign all is not well...

 

Pulling a Johnny Knoxville and being a Bad Grandpa.
