The Good Idea/Bad Idea Game

[Alkonium]

I don't see the harm in it.

Baking a pony for a friend because she's cute.

[Trench]

Is the friend cute or the pony? Either way, I see no problem.

Putting a headcrab in a blender and giving it to a professional athlete, under the guise of a protein smoothie.

[HockeyGoalie35]

^ bad idea, headcrabs are high in fat

Giving a Hidden blade to a UFC champion

[Alkonium]

Good idea. Knives are normal in UFC, right?

Eating a heaping bowl of salt.

[Trench]

Good idea. A common practice for the terminally depressed in ancient China, IIRC.

Chasing it with a bucket of paint.

[purifier]

hmmm....Netrual Idea, only because I don't know what "it" is. And "it" could turn around and bite you in the ass. Mixed with the paint.





Finding out what "it" is first.

[Trench]

Good idea. The bowl of salt mentioned by Alkonium.

Replacing the smilie with a trollface icon.

[Alkonium]

Good idea. Everyone loves Trollface!

Milking Sister Moo Cow for all the information.

[purifier]

Good idea. I'd say do it until the cows come home.








Grilling a whole cow. (Some individuals are doing just that btw, no joke.)

[Darth Vada]

Good idea. Mmmmm... I wonder what grilled cow brain tastes like.




Toasting Nyan cat.

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. Screaming cats are not fun.

Grilling some 9V batteries.

[Darth Vada]

Well, I suppose good idea if you are 20 meters away locked in kevlar steel lined with concrete and have a tiny peephole covered with clear kevlar, then yes. Good idea.

Trying to escape a straight-jacket while hanged 100 ft in the air.

[Alkonium]

Pointless. If you mean what I think you mean by "hanging", you'll be dead already.

Eating a whole library.

[Darth Vada]

(I meant hanging upside-down)Ummm... Bad idea, I guess, if you mean the building. If you mean just the books, still a bad idea.


Shooting a S&W 500 with one hand.(If you don't know what that is, google it.)

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. A gun like that would have some serious recoil.

Putting a swimming pool in a library.

[Hallucination]

Best idea ever.

Writing a troll physics textbook.

[Alkonium]

Good idea. I need one for the Troll Physics class I teach.

Putting a library in a swimming pool.

[purifier]

Great idea. But you would need a Librarian Life Guard, so that nobody drowns from reading too much.






Requiring Librarians to also be Barbarians as part of the job requirment.

[Alkonium]

Good idea. Threatening people with swords and axes is a good way to keep them quiet.

First-person QWOP.

[Darth Vada]

Bad idea. How the **** are you supposed to even CONTROL the game in FP?!


Shooting a propane truck in front of a ramp that you jump with a motorcycle.

[Alkonium]

Really Bad Idea. The explosion may propel you further than the ramp alone, but it will also incinerate you.

Second-person shooters.

[Darth Vada]

Ummm... How is that even possible? Good idea, I guess. It would be... Different.


Tying explosives onto a firework and setting the firework off.

[HockeyGoalie35]

Good idea, more bang for yer buck.

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. It smells terrible.

@Darth Vada: You'd see from the point of view of whatever you're shooting.

Apple deliberately designing their computers to burst into flames at random.

[Hallucination]

Passable idea, but it would be bad if the average Mac user knew the computer wasn't supposed to do that.

Making a combat free JRPG.

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. Is there any actual choice involved at all then?

@Hal: With my idea, it is supposed to do that.

Building computers out of thermite.

[Darth Vada]

Bad idea.


4D glasses.

[Alkonium]

Insane idea. You'd be seeing time.

Steve Jobs justifying the lack of Flash on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad by saying it's too proletarian for people as bourgeois as Apple's consumer base.

[Darth Avlectus]

Bad idea for apple, those who tend to to keep up with the new trend, are left behind in the end.

Using a hard to find "AC flyback transformer" on the power supply for a "home made plasma globe". (trust me search relevant terms and you probably will find your answer fairly easy, hint "Greg's")

[Alkonium]

Anything involving a home made plasma globe is a really bad idea.

Any action that follows the phrase "Hold my beer and watch this!"

[Totenkopf]

Good and bad, maybe even simultaneously.

Spending your afternoons near a liberal university fleecing students of their drinking money by pretending to be a filthy homeless beggar and then finishing the evening off at your local watering hole laughing w/your friends at their gullibility.

[Alkonium]

It's a scam, so automatic Good Idea.

Using lemons to burn someone's house down.

[Ferc Kast]

neutral idea: it wouldn't set off the smoke detectors & would smell good.

[Alkonium]

Bad Idea. They're clearly not toys, but most people are too dumb to realise that.

@Ferc: You don't get the reference, do you?

Buying any product endorsed by Cave Johnson.

[Darth Avlectus]

Could be good, could be bad. The hammer could swing either way on this. What I'm definitively gonna say is good or bad, it sure is an awesome idea.

Shaving...Mr. Bean style...while your face is like that of a matted frizzled filthy wookiee.

[Alkonium]

Good idea. There's usually a method to his madness.

Inventing a combustible lemon THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!

[Ferc Kast]

neutral idea; it'd be bad for people inside the house, but no one would see that coming.

@Alkonium: Nope, I don't get the reference.

Inventing a device to get rid of feelings towards other people.

[Alkonium]

Bad idea. Any technology that can mess directly with people's minds is too inherently dangerous.

@Ferc: Look up "Cave Johnson Lemon Rant" on Youtube

Batteries that can be recharged in the microwave.

[Darth Avlectus]

Good idea so long as they don't either explode or damage the microwave.

Bad idea, that's more of a Mother's Day thing.
