If we can have mini pizzas and pies and cupcakes I see no reason why miniburgers should only exist in my dreams. Have you never had sliders?

Cups that dissolve when exposed to carbonation (i.e. soda) so that you (the restaurant owner) can make sure that nobody asks for water and ends up stealing soda. I independently arrived at the concept known as "Neo-Feudalism", called it "Corporate Feudalism", and intended to sell my idea to corporations so that we would finally pledge our allegiance to a MegaCorp. Soda cans with either a transparent slot on the side or an "Aliens' Pulse Gun"-style "fluid ounce counter" so that I can keep track of how much is left. A dog assassination service called the "Bark Brotherhood".

Well now I can check them off the list how about...Awkward internet people strippers So picture the scene, you're in a situation in which a stripper is traditional and as an rear end in a top hat you want to use this opportunity to stir up some trouble. What we'll do is recruit the worst denizens of this internet and hire them out to preform hideous embarrassing stripteases, for example fat buttertrolls in horrible cosplay who won't shut up about their favorite yaoi pairings or pasty meme spouting morons who'll take off the pony shirt and baggy jeans but not the fedora and socks. The main drive behind the success of this business will be people wishing to go viral with videos of the targets (stripee?) reaction so it will be integral to the business that we thumbs up any youtube videos of this.

A bullet-proof vest that injects you with a quick-acting sedative when it detects it's getting shot (basically, feinting death). It's also lined with small blood bags that make your death seem more believable. Of course, this is incredibly impractical in almost all situations but whatever.

The only problem is that your windshield might set your interior on fire if you left your car parked out in the sun. Or cause your chest to burst into flames while you drove your car. It's a good idea, though.

Okay, why not. I thought this up a few years ago, but since I actually have negative experience with electronics (everything I make doesn't work) I just mentally filed it under "Would be cool". I'm no stereotypical Idea Guy, so I didn't go around begging someone else to make it for me. So, I'm sure most goons are famalier with the modern laser tag place. You pay a ridiculous amount (Like $8 or something) to go into a cheesy blacklight arena and shoot at other people with the laser tag vest on. After the usually 15 minute game you get a scorecard listing the people you shot, your accuracy, and other useless stats. Those of you around my age remember the huge fad of the mid-80s, laser tag. This was a toy system where you bought a laser tag gun, and a seperate little sensor gizmo you wore on your clothes. Then you met up with your friends, arranged some rules, and went out and tried to shoot each other. Companies are always bringing old fads back, why not bring back the original laser tag? Except give it a modern twist. One of the players would have bought a "base" kit, which has a dongle you plug into the USB on your computer. Inside it has a modest radio transmitter/reciever to communicate with all the players laser guns and sensor widgets. You could use the software that comes with the base unit to set up the parameters of the game. Time, points from getting a hit, how many points to win etc.

A keg, but filled with soda. I mean, this couldn't possibly fail. Batshit Idea, stolen from a friend who isn't sane: Giraffe exterminator. Basically he would "stealthily fill peoples attics/basements with giraffes, and then show up and offer services as a professional giraffe remover". VVV Huh, did not know that. I wish BevMo wasn't on the opposite side of the country. Though Safeway is only 40 miles, not bad... Terrible Robot has a new favorite as of 07:15 on Feb 27, 2013 |
