Ideas
i had two ideas, neither of which i'm sure are any good.
the first one i had after watching the corporation. i was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we picked a small but rotten corporation and encouraged everyone to buy stock in it until we had enough controlling interest to make them behave? i realize they probaly have safeguards against hooligans like me, but i just like the idea of it. then we could stage corporate takeovers until we controlled the world and bought everyone kittens named sprinkles and saved the world with love.
what? you think that's a crappy idea? hmm. i agree. too many kittens named sprinkles would get confusing.
the other idea i had was to go to the junkyard and get a bunch of old toilets. then i'd build shallow square boxes, maybe four inches high with no top and a bottom that slid out. then i'd fill the boxes with wet concrete, pull up to street corners in a van in the middle of the night, plop 'em down, set the toilet in them, pull the bottom, and leave.
then, you know, there'd be more public toilets.
it just creams my cheese that people are not allowed to go to the bathroom unless they're consumers. that's fucking ricockulous. you know? i mean, if you don't ever have to go to the bathroom, raise your hand. what? no one? we all have to go to the bathroom? hmmm. why isn't that taken into account then? next thing you know they'll be charging us for water. they already do? oh. i mean air. they'll be charging us for air. and sunlight. screw that! free your bowels! (but not, i mean, not *right now* 'cause that would be gross.)
i had another idea that was vaguely more practical. if you're like me, you've a drawer full of old t-shirts that you just can't bear to toss even though they're so gaddamned ratty you could only wear them to go sewer diving. but the memories! how could you let that shirt go?
you can't. that's why i think i should start a service where i take your old shirt, cut out the iron-on or whatever, and install it on a brand new shirt! you know, using new fangled technology like thread!
so there you have it, three half-baked ideas in one post!
god. isn't it five o'clock yet? i need me some weekend.
hm. here's one: how about a timer so you can tell when your half-baked idea is actually done?
ding!
i like all these ideas, especially the t-shirt one. i had a similar idea but only got halfway. figured i could cut the image off the shirt and just save that. it would take up less space.
man, you really could offer that service. just scan the original image and recreate the art for silkscreening, or do it cheap-style with the printer iron-on paper from the office supply store.
wow, you have a lot of ideas. any idea how to make packing more quick and less painful?
i am like you - an idea man - i am all full of great ideas with a very poor follow through ratio. i will help you with the toilets if you want to follow thru.
