Ideas found in the wild

[WrongFrog]

Ridiculous things found in the wild of the Internet that would make fantastic story ideas. Here's my contribution for today.

Classic.

A woman I know once referred to them as Machiavellian nut cookies. I thought she was kidding, but...no.

This particular gem came from my friend who deliberately posts unhinged stuff on her timeline for funsies. We go back and forth trying to outdo each other without catching FB jail time, and inevitably, someone will think we're serious. Four years of us doing this, and people still think either of us have a serious bone in our bodies....

Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea either. *Toddles off to the keyboard*

My favorite was a few years ago when MelissaBaby randomly reposted a story about a mass of innkeeper worms, called "penis fish" because they look like human phalluses, washing up on a beach in California, and I turned it into an alien invasion/erotic horror story.

But, yeah, if you pay enough attention to the news and the weird clickbaity stuff that shows up on the Internet you'll see it's every bit as crazy as anything we can dream up.

Yeah, there are a ton of ideas out there if you keep your eyes and ears open.

The one that gets brought up a lot is the one about Miss Venuzula and Miss Costa Rica announcing they got married in secret.

There are a few story ideas I have knocking around based of such ideas. I was listening to a famous video game YouTuber a year or so ago and he was talking about how, when he went to YouTube conventions, he'd meet these YT groupies whose goal was to compete to bed the guy with the highest subscriber count. There's a story right there and the trick is finding the most nerdy niche channel to base it around (I know which one, but I haven't written it yet)

I was walking round the enormous bed section in Ikea the other day and thinking to myself, this would be a great place to hold a swingers party (presumably out of hours by disgruntled employees). I'm never writing it, but if I do ever write it, I'm calling it "Orgy...with a Chance of Meatballs."

Have you ever had Ikea meatballs? Dreadful.

Remember, nearly all major stores are heavily video monitored. OTOH, that could be used as a way to spin an E/V story with the night security guard spying on the whole shenanigans.

This might not be as far fetched as you think... in 2016, there were more than 1300 incidents of people 'staying overnight' in Ikea warehouses around the world.

In addition, there have been cases in both Sweden and Denmark where people have been invited to stay at the warehouses overnight for various reasons (i.e. due to a snow storm).

So people can and do spend the night there. Haven't heard any reports of orgies though

My son just texted me.

20: Mom, Dad's not answering his phone, where is he?

Because this is me, and kiddo is an adult and therefore has no immunity from my sense of humor...

Me: out back chasing a giant cock. You know how he likes to make friends with all the new ones.

20:

20: do I need to come home on break and show him how it's done?

Woot? I have no idea what kinda meatballs you have in the Ikeas across the pond in the freedom land (always preferred BBB anyway), but here Ikea meatballs are almost proverbially delicious.

 

[MrPixel]

Tough and nearly tasteless. At least the last time we tried 'em.

Here we call them "Freedom Balls".

That's funny, but more appropriate here would be all the girls that post on their socials how much they love the smell of their boyfriend's colon.

I remember a few of yall made a challenge out of it.
