I rather suspect only the "violently explosive
snowglobes" will be banned. (Hmmm....starts
thinking about a type of snowglobe not yet
considered here at the HB...) |
|
|
Somewhere out there, there's a factory churning out
snowglobes. Just think about it. |
|
|
There is clearly no way in which this idea can be improved. |
|
|
"... and the 2014 winner of the Golden Croissant is ....[Alterother] !" |

<Thunderous applause from Borg Collective> |
|
|
ok - I've had enough snow-globe repetition. [marked-for-deletion] echo and an appeal to Jutta to delete the whole lot. |
|
|
//...and an appeal to Jutta to delete the whole

|
|
What is it with you and deleting shit? Why don't you
just set up a filter to block the entire halfbakery and
have done with it? |
|
|
Even pirates can turn a blind eye. |
|
|
[xenzag] is probably right about the snow globes. Halfbakery production time would surely be better spent designing next winter's Advent Calendars. |
|
|
"Violently Explosive Advent Calendar", for instance, is sure to be a real holiday pleaser on many household mantles. I know the kids in my family always bickered about whose turn it was to open the next little window. Just imagine how much more fun it will be knowing that, like Russian Roulette, the very next window you open could be the one that explodes! |
|
|
Teeny-tiny pad mines, yay ! |
|
|
[loris] //What is it with you and deleting shit?// It's called [marked-for-deletion] and I gave my reasons for making the call. It's up to the moderators, so my appeal is to that end. Deletion is healthy. |
|
|
tsk, tsk...arguing about snow globes! Everyone must be
so tired from the holidays. I'm living in a snow globe
right now! oh yeah, Snow Globe houses! |
|
|
I too currently have no need for something to simulate
what is happening outside my window, nor do I have need
for them in warm weather, nor do I need a glut of them on
my main index page. I'm of the same mind as [xenxag], just
going about my agenda in a way I find more amusing. |
|
|
We're allowed have agendae here? Why did no-one
tell me this? |
|
|
Because you never stopped talking long enough for anyone else to get
a word in edgeways ... |

|

"Violently Explosive Advent Cadaver" |
|
|
I figure if folks are having fun, meh... why not let the meme run its course. It'll be Disco soon enough. If an idea has no actual idea to it then fishbomb the crap out of it but this'n isn't 'that' lame. |
|
|
That said, I think I'll just hold off on posting my HamsterBallSnowGlobe idea... and of course the MagicEightBall globe, where the flakes float upwards to reveal prophetic messages, will now be lost to the ages. |
|
|
...and the Einstein/Szilard no-moving-parts 'actual' real snow SnowGlobe, that I was magnanimously going to let somebody else post, will also now never precipitate into an extremely cool thing! |
|
|
We can't not let that just not unhappen now can we? |
|
|
Here, friend, have a snowglobe to cheer you up. |
|
|
Go on, give it a good shake. |
|
|
If only there were some way to build a snow globe into
a Prince Rupert's Drop. |
|
|

|
|
Violin explosion adver...no, it's not that funny. |
|
|
Bagpipes explosion, now that would be funny... |
|
|
<imagines being there, surrounded by the whistling of incoming haggises....working on that UXB(agpipe), was is the green thread or the red thread to cut? Damn this Tartans Handbook...(sweat of forehead)> |

|
|
I'm not commenting on the marked-for-deletion.
(Although my understanding is that you
shouldn't use a functional one without a reason
like you just did in your reply; I've modified
it in the quote). |
|
|
But you're going beyond that when you idly
petition jutta to get the whole class of
something deleted. This isn't the first time.
What about other recently posted snow-globe
ideas which might have some independent
merit?
What about pre-existing snow-globe ideas?
What about the idea which spawned the trend?
What about tangentially related ideas? |
|
|
And some of the ideas now being suggested here
seem really good, and entirely worthy of their own
separate idea postings. |
|
|
How about Snowglobe Bagpipes? The bag is made of clear PVC, the pipes are all made of clear plexiglass. The bag is filled with little tiny scraps of tartan fabric. There is a clear gauze over the ends of the stocks to stop the scraps escaping. |
|
|
Actually this would force the piper to stop playing every so often to clear the blockage, which would be terrible. The gauze should be in the form of a moving strip which will drop the scraps once it moves past the entrances to the stocks. |
|
|
The piper should wear a clear PVC kilt, vest & doublet to complete the ensemble. Tartan knickers should complement the scraps. The sporran can be made from clear PVC, sealed, filled with water and have more scraps floating in it. |
|
|
If a double-lined clear PVC bag were used, with the fluid
and substrate sealed between the two layers, normal
squeezing of the bag would agitate the substrate while
allowing for unblocked air flow to the pipes. |
|
|
Indeed, the Scots seem to be having that very problem... |
|
|
It would all be okay if you stick to conventional explosives - the dirty bomb aspect should be reined in...no rads needed. |
|
|
i propose that xenzag be [marked-as-moderator] or
[marked-as-snowglobe] a new rule should be created so
that we are permitted by Halfbakery Law to flag anyone
that
likes to read and type like the thought, grammar,
punctuation or spelling police. |
|
|
I would also propose that once flagged in this manner the
half baker is obligated by Halfbakery Law to test a
Violently
Explosive Snowglobe |
|
|
I would like a snowglobe toaster filled with molten butter
that automatically butters the toast once toasting is
completed. |
|
|
Being a dad, working on my novel, doing a little
landscaping. I'm just popping in for a visit, but I'll probably
be back on a regular basis when the snow flies and I'm
spending more time indoors. |
|
|
Nice to know that I'm missed, or at least that, like tinnitus,
you don't miss it when it's gone but you definitely notice
the absence. |
|
|
With any luck, yes. You wouldn't want me to get bored,
would you? |
|
|
A very recent experiment in the MaxCo. laboratories
demonstrates that traditional glass snow-globes are
quite highly explosive when microwaved. |
|
|
BTW, [bigs], try ear accupuncture. Seriously. It works for a
few weeks at least. |
|
|
tinnitus... Melatonin worked perfectly for me. Can't get it
over the counter like the US though. |
