Random Ideas for Public Consumption: Part Two

As in the first post in this series, Random Ideas for Public Consumption: Part One, I offer to anyone who wants these ideas. Use them as you will. I don't mind.

1. General Life Rule: When someone says that they are addicted to chocolate, they are actually not addicted.

2. The Dyslexic Palm-Reader: A story, documentary, mockumentary, or whatever concerning the sometimes sad, yet often ribald consequences of those who habitually and unwittingly (optional) rely on the advice of The Dyslexic Palm-Reader.

3. Not My Best: A search engine that runs on alternative fuel. Think about it.

Random Ideas for Public Consumption: Part 1

Here are some random thoughts that have popped into my head during the course of my daily life. Take them or leave them, but I don't have time at the moment to do anything with them, so do what you will.

1. Compulsive Liars Anonymous: First, print up a bunch of business cards that read simply:

Compulsive Liars Anonymous
Meeting at 8 PM, Tuesday
(Specify a Location of Your Choosing)
Now, distribute them anonymously around your hometown, neighborhood, dorm, campus, office, etc. Some may find them and, while they are not actually compulsive liars, find them so intriguing that they show up at the designated time and locale (incidentally they are lying if they show up, because they are not compulsive liars, but just regular liars). Others, who are in fact compulsive liars, may decide that they need help and support and show up as well. Now, here is the kicker: you show up and lie about being a compulsive liar, claiming that you found the card as well, just like the rest of the liars there. Now, no one will actually know what the meeting is about and who is in charge; the group then grows suspicious, for while all are anonymous, each of you has already admitted to being a liar, so any of you may be in charge.

2. A Comedy Sketch (either for a show or recording), "Phone Sex Ed": The skit is merely a phone conversation between two sexual education teachers. They have phone sex, but follow the guidelines and lingo of the classes that they teach. I shouldn't have to fill you in with the details, but they will probably not be very steamy, especially if they are teaching "abstinence plus."

3. General Life Rule: The words "No, I love him/her to death" are always followed by a behind the back insult about him/her.

4. General Life Rule #2: Do people who pontificate using rhetorical question that they quickly answer feel a overblown sense of self-importance? Yes.

All for now, more to come...
