Ye old HB

 Halfbakery in the 1900's - by invitation only
  (+14)(+14)
(+14) 		  [vote for,
against]

Held annually in London in a cobble-stoned square surrounded by Victorian mews.

As you walk in, the first thing you notice is the wretched smell of rotten fish mixed with freshly baked pastries. You make your way to the small podium laid in the centre of the square surrounded by dozens of people stood quietly, holding baskets and dressed appropriately for the time period. You close you eyes briefly and make a silent prayer, for it is your turn to take the stand

You begin by announcing the name of your idea, followed by a summary, and then proceed to give a detailed description.

As you arrive to the main-body of your description you begin to hear the quiet rumbling from the crowd as they reach into their baskets for one of the 2 objects each contains.

And so the judgment begins...

       What was that screaming? Could that have been another victim of the awful Jack The Boner? Something'll have to be done about the likes of 'im.

       I hope it's a star, and not what shinobi first suggested. I'm not an asshole *all* the time...

       Annotation could be managed by the right honourable chairperson, who gives each member a turn to stand and speak on the idea.   

       "Order! Order! The chair recognises the right honourable Una Bubba Esq."   

       Fishbones and croissants would have to be on strings, so voters could reel them back in and cast anew as the discussion proceeds.
—BunsenHoneydew, Dec 30 2006
   

       I sort of like the idea of the fishbone / croissant pileup if voters were not recycling them. Would make the climb to the podium a bit treacherous though. Maybe custodial duty could be arranged.
—jenifemeral, Dec 30 2006
   

       Custardial duties? Croissants and Fishbones on the end of fishing-rods please.
