drinking way too much and watching Return to Oz

See, the quotation marks, and your post make it confusing. Are you looking for sincerity or irony?

My best idea, without doubt, was getting married and having children.

My "best" idea was taking my new bride (a sweet, naive young thing from North Dakota) to the first Lollapalooza concert. There, we were caught in a mud and sod slinging riot, that scared the hell out of her. It pretty much meant I didn't go to any more concerts until my son was old enough to go with me!

Reverse Microwaves.

I was going for irony. Drinking and watching the rather-terrifying-at-any-age Return to Oz, though it sounded like a terrific idea, actually was not.

Gaining back all the weight I once lost. I went from 190 to 140 to 220 (and am currently on my way back down at about 207.) Man, that shit is hard enough once, if anyone else ever gets in good shape, NEVER SLIP OUT. Unless you're doing like a Raging Bull thing, hooray for commitment.

She was looking over your shoulder, wasn't she?

No, no! It's true. I've had more fun since getting married than I ever had before! And more fun with the kids even than that!

I agree with Kendocubano with my Best Idea also being to marry my wife and having 2 wonderful children. They always bring me joy. Amazingly enough, lotsa others thought it was my worst!

My "Best" Idea was when, about 10 years ago, I tried to be a "Playa" juggling a coupla girlfriends. I was busted my first week into it and lost both of 'em. Some of us should just stay outta "Tha Game", ya know?

hahahahahahaha. MonksterG down in flames.

If you thought that was bad, I used to take my monkey, KinKaid, with me everywhere, and one day I stopped by the drive-thru to get us a little sumpthin'. Right when I pulled a 10 outta my wallet (which was all I had on me), the little bastard snatched the thing outta my hand and quickly swallowed it! Having a monkey can be very expensive. Especially when they get outta their cages while you're at work and take bites outta CD's, pull the rubber buttons outta your remotes, rip your posters off the wall, rip your shoes to shreds, & they'll eat all of your toothpaste, hair grease (OH MAN! His diaper was extremely greasy for a week!) and any dollar bills they find! He even destroyed some "priceless" early 'Warnell's 'Hood' original sketches I had from when I first came up with the characters! Yep. Gettin' a monkey truly was THE "BEST" idea I ever had, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd just make sure to get a stronger cage and to keep him as far away from cash as possible! Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind to get a KinKaid II. I'll probably wait until my kids are about 6 years older... My next "best" idea ever!

so you have a monkey!!

things make sense now. hopefully he won't develop a taste for your DVD collection.

I had an idea for a spherical glass orb that could emit several times the light of a candle and be powered by electricity, but this lying cheat Edison stole it from me back in 1879.



just kidding

you know, i actually have a great idea for a weed pipe.

you know how they make those bullets that look like car lighters? well, why not make one that actually is a car lighter. you plug it int and the coils heat up and burn your pot, which is side loaded and directly under the coil. to clean ashes, you tap lightly and they fall through hte spaces between the heating coil. totally awesome, brah.

why the hell would you want a pet monkey?

exotic pets always remind me of a "Mr. Show" sketch about the lizard and the albino.

my "best" idea was getting drunk and going to watch "the blair witch project" at the theatre, the handheld camera movements made me sick and i had to puke in a theatre toilet, not a nice experience at all.

yeah i sure do miss Mr. Show, i think I'm going to find my dvds right now

I'm a pretty uninhibited and often allow my dumb ideas to become reality. So here's a random compilation:

1. After last Christmas, I wasn't sure what to do with my a live wreath I was given as a gift, so I thought what would make me happiest? I happened to have a road flair laying around and decided that setting the wreath on fire would be the most amusing. Suffice it to say, this story ends with me stomping out a fire.

2. Had some rather people size boxes laying around from my roomate's speaker purchase. So, the first thing we did was cut eye holes and play our version of rock 'em sock 'em robots, that was fun. Then we used to boxes to slide down a flight of stairs.

(On a more serious note)
3. Driving while under the influence of various drugs. I've never been in any sort of car accident, but I've had my fair share of close calls, and I truly regret driving in states which I should not have. I won't do it again though, I've done it far too much in my life, and consider myself lucky that nothing ever came of it.

So that's a sample of the type of stuff I sometimes do, I think I'm going to try and become a little more mature though, and stop with the carelessness.

Hehe Mike, those first two are classic. My former roommate in College would always find something unusual that he'd want to burn, and most of the time it never worked out (ie. old floral arrangements aren't very flammable surprisingly, especially when it's -20 out, and styrofoam/polyester rapidly ignites to release a toxic/nauseating gas...yeah). I would've never thought to use boxes as robot costumes for sparring but that sounds really fun.

Recently I was talking with my friends about how difficult it is to get up extremely early in the morning for work. I have to use a series of alarms to ensure I won't sleep through one or two of them. One of my friends said that there are robotic alarms like roombas that move around and 'hide' after going off.

This got me thinking that maybe the best solution to overcome the bleak despair of having to wake up early for work and needing to remain awake for the dreaded day ahead was an alarm that tasered you. That way waking up will really be the worst part of the day and after that it can really (on most occasions) only get better than being electrocuted.

The alarm could simply be a taser gun stationed to a clock that could be fancy and detect you through infrared or you could just position it the night before towards your sleeping area. Perhaps some models could shoot out a stream of freezing water first to help with the conductivity. Patent pending... with disclaimer: not responsible for death or injury related to getting your ass up on time.
