Since 100 heads are better than one, here are some ideas for ideas that I can’t do anything with, but will barter for some of your ‘dough’ that would otherwise never make it to the oven:
yard-sized tar pit to catch neighbor’s dogs, kids, etc.
BarBQ Mitzvah and similar themes
magnifying
glass cigarette lighter
large, wet, rubber, dog tongue for cooling off in hot weather
nicotine incense/candles
cyber road rage (trolling, etc.) alleviation or prevention
Bought by [we_dont_eat_them]
Nicotine_20Candles
...but what did [FarmerJohn] get in return? [theleopard, Jul 31 2007]

I have half a dozen assorted death spikes you can have in exchange for your large wet rubber dog tongue for cooling off in hot weather. swap? |
|
| |
They all seem pretty self-descriptive to me... |

// here are some ideas for ideas that I can’t do anything with // |

Umm, isn't that what we get around here on a regular basis anyway? |
|

Actually, when I was little my dad in an attempt to get my
mom to stop smoking got her a "solar" cigarette lighter. It
was a shiny curved silver dish with a fork that stuck up to
hold the end of the cigarette... put it out in the sun and
eventually it would light... I guess... she never did try it. |
|
| |
po...OK, I'll put them on my spike-heeled golf shoes and wait quietly in a sand bunker. |
|
| |
Ray...Big...So if I just add a little creative prose? |
|
| |
Aur...Jeeze, even my too-crappy-to-post ideas are baked. |

FarmerJohn: OK, if you're asking. Late one evening I wrote down "Ferrite Clips" on a post-it note and stuck it on one of my monitors as a to-do URGENT for the next day. When I got in the next morning, I found the note but could not work out from the pencil scrawl what I had meant to tell myself. It looked for all the world like "Ferret Glue". I spent all morning puzzling about Ferret Glue (Glue for ferrets ? Glue made from ferrets ?) unitl a colleage asked me had I ordered any Ferrite clips (Used in electronics testing). Then I realised what the note ment, but I couldn't get the idea of ferret glue out of my mind, and the wildly implausible scenarios in which one might require such an unusual product. |

PS I'm pleased to see that your recent suggestions display a lower degree of potential lethality than your notorious "lightning barbequeue" idea .....(bitter bitter bitter) |
|
| |
thats a pun Steve, (cinnamon toast) |
|

It is oddly appropriate that the idea I have been bandying about in my head lately is a "Halfbakery Sale" which, fits the description of this post perfectly. But, more specifically, the Bake Sale would be a returning to ideas that we didn't do so well with the first time around in the hopes that others might recycle them better with clearer thinking. |

For instance, if I thought I had a shot at making [AO]'s reusable potato jackets a smash hit, then I could post an announcement to that affect. If [AO] agreed (which he probably never would) then he would delete the post and I would try to bring it up from the dust (so to speak. BTW, [AO], if it weren't for the fact that all of your other ideas take off like wildfire, I wouldn't use you as my example...). |
|
| |
Also, if I had an idea of my own, in this case "Penthouse Drum Circle" that I had done wrong by, I could post a "Creator Wanted" ad to try and hound out a brave soul to bring that idea with real legitimacy back into the forum. |
|
| |
I always get to these things too late. All of the good stuff is gone. (eyes [po] and her new rubber dog tongue jealously) (sighs and picks up the nicotine incense/candles) They'll bone me for sure. I'm not going on the Antiques Road Show with this. |
|
| |
you know its a funny thing, I've had it a year now and never get tired of it :) |
|
| |
get your eyes off it, world. |
|
| |
[k_sra] you mean mash hit? |
|
| |
Have 'Tree Shirt'. Will exchange for anything involving chocolate. |
|
| |
'Apocalypso' has been turning around in my head and I can't do anything with it. Or 'Apocalloipe.' |
|
| |
//large, wet, rubber, dog tongue for cooling off in hot weather//
Could you possibly explain what you intended to do with this? |
|

There's an Australian shrub growing in my back garden which, when alive, smells pleasantly of lemon and pine but, when burnt, smells exquisitely of toasting cheese with herbs. There's got to be an idea there somewhere, which should probably start with me finding out what the hell the shrub is called. I can imagine standing transfixed, oblivious to an advancing bushfire, just breathing in that smell. Oh yes, and it's very good for *starting* fires as well (like a lot of Australian plants, it must have a high oil content); I like to use a bundle of it in the grate instead of a firelighter. |

Interesting how [FarmerJohn]'s throw away nicotine-candle idea has actually been submitted to the bakery since. [linky] |
|
| |
yummy [pert]-- cheese and herb kindling sticks. |
|
| |
That's it. I'm leaving work and getting something to eat. |
|
| |
I think [zen_tom]'s maximum security joke shop belongs here (unless he's going to bake it himself). |
|
| |
[leopard] Hey! That was supposed to be mine! I was going to post it any day now. |
|
| |
So it was a third-hand idea? (You were probably better off without it. Nicotine dough doesn't make many buns.) |
|
| |
It strikes me that there is only a very
narrow window between having a doughy
idea and being able to post it. How can
you have //magnifying glass cigarette
lighter// lying around as dough and yet be
unable to bake it to the extent required to
post it as an idea? It's a bit like saying
"Here's an idea which I have almost had...." |
|

(considers posting [leopard]'s "third hand" idea) |

Some dough I've been kneading but can't quite get the salt content right: |
|
| |
Roll of cheese sweets for neutralising pH value in your mouth when down the pub. |

Whale Style (sexual maneuver inspired by a double whale breach) |
