Genius Ideas For Free

[rosco rathbone]

I am a dreamer frequently visited by the Muses. I've had many ideas that a man with some gumption, stick-to-it-iveness and entrepreneurial flare could retire on. Frankly, it aggravates me that my great ideas should dissappear into the void. So, I offer them in this thread with no strings attached. Any man can take any Idea here and run with it and godspeed. All I ask is that, if anyone should make 1 million dollars from an idea found in this thread, could he please make a post and pay respects to my genius.



idea 1: It is my belief that the budweiser corp or other maker of big-league watery domestic lager ought to market a brew with added fresh sqeezed lemon juice or lime juice. I believe that it ought to be marketable with some images of australian or american farm laborers reaping grain with sickles and then taking a break to drink a shandy style beverage. I'm specifically picturing an ad campaign which depicts 19th c. harvesting techniques as a current lifestyle option "with no questions asked". But the key the idea is Bud With Lemon, not whatever ad campaign might be mobilized in order to flog the foul brew to the working man.

Wouldn't that just be Bud Corona?

While we're on the topic, my daughter wants a clear toaster. If someone will make these, we'll take one.
Hell make it two.

That's not a bad idea. I really think it would sell.
I saw a clear toilet once, I bet they sold a bunch and if people buy that they will buy anything clear.

Does a market niche already exist for my idea? I'm not talking some yuppie brew. I mean coors light style workingmans brew--with fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Perhaps every can gets a lemin squeezed into it by a chinese chick working in the bottling plant before sealing. She has a sexy plastic showercap type santitary headthing on.

If this one has been done, I have more.

I have hard water, that wouldn't be pretty.
I'd rather see burnt bread crumbs.

Remember Pepsi Clear? How long did that last? 5 minutes?

How about ketchup for vampires?

You could call it: "I Can't Believe Its' Not Blood."

I've been thinking about bars lately.

When I was a youth, the kind of place where one went to view strippers was called a "titty bar", a revealing term which points to the mores of the time; where the female mammary gland was the primary focus of male sexuality in America. (Think Marilyn Monrow, or the Grease Soundtrack lyric which runs something along the lines of "we ain't taking no shit/ cause we're gettin lots o' tit/ greased lightnin")

I think a tectonic shift has happened in America. The tit has been replaced by the ass, probably as a result of an influx of immigrants from the Third World. I myself am an ass man. To get to the point, in 1958, a flat chested stripper would have been unqualified for the position. Now, the role of the lower body has assumed an inverted importance, and it would be quite approriate to see a flat chested girl with a bubble bottom in a strip club. Thus, I propose that "titty bars" be officially dubbed a thing of the past and a new era be ushered in: That of bottom bars.

Bottom bars, if heavily marketed, promoted and branded as such, could make someone a lot of money.

Other bar ideas. It occurs to me that there is no place where a man can have a drink, watch interminable televised baseball games and talk to the homeless all at the same time. Thus I propose: homeless bars.

homeless bars.

reeks of soylent green to me

I have a great idea! Hollywood should do a show like Hollywood Squares, but with kids! Gary coleman could be the host.

A Reggaeton Version of Mountain's sleazy, grinding, 1970s hit song "Mississpippi Queen.

This idea sells itself, I believe.

I'm fascinated by the idea of reggaeton as cross-cultural melting pot. The music of any culture can be easily brought into the Reggaeton formula. I heard Greek reggaeton last night, with bouzouki breaks instead of salsa horns and it worked very well. No reason that the music of that exotic North American folk known as outlaw bikers oughtn't to have its own Reggaeton rendition. Of course, the "ethnic flavor" would be provided by sampled blasts of Leslie West's incomparably fat, massive, harsh guitar.

As for idea #1, A-B already has a number of flavored beers in the works. If you want the A-B lime-infused flavor, try Tequiza. They also have some very malty, heavy brews with high alcohol content sold by the magnum.

Yes, apparently that idea was not ahead of it's time. I've sampled Tequiza and found it tolerable.

when is i-tv coming?
I want to be able to goto a website and just download the tv shows I want.

 

[Saint Peter]

A queer coffee maker?? WTF??

Oh, wait.
My mistake.
Nevermind.

I put forward a cordless TIG welding foot control. Those damn cords are always in the way and then the plugs get flakey.

Rosco my man...have you been drinking on an empty stomach?

I couldn't care less about TV shows, but I understand your basic point. I have the same desires of a univeral digital library with all books availible. They'd have something like a big copying machine that would print out a nice paperback version of any book.
