Random Idea #9

We need some new flavors for stuff... I mean, everything has many, MANY different flavors, but they're all just the same things going 'round and 'round... so I think we should be daring and add some new flavors to things. I believe we should start with M&M's. Here are just a few of my ideas for new M&M flavors... I believe we will see them on the shelves soon.
  • Fried Chicken Flavored M&M's
  • Guacamole M&M's
  • Leftover Meatloaf M&M's
  • Moldy Cheese M&M's
  • "What the Hell Was That?" M&M's
  • Pickled M&M's
  • Diet Coke Flavored Pepsi M&M's

Random Idea #8: How to Take Care of Telemarketers

Now, we all hate those pesky little telemarketers calling and trying to sell us something we really have no interest in. Well, let's use it as a moment of humor in our day, shall we?

Option #1: Bad Hearing - Change your voice to an elderly voice and pretend you have bad hearing. Keep repeating "What?," "I'm sorry, I missed that," "Huh?," "Can you repeat that?," and just keep going with it until they give up.

Option #2: Is That You John? - Change to the handy elderly voice and once they begin talking, interrupt them: "Is that you, John?" Let him answer, then continue: "Well, it's good to hear from you. When you comin' over to have dinner with your old grandma?" (pause) "Well, that's great, be sure to bring that beautiful wife of yours, how are the kids, dear?" Just keep it up, it's really fun, take my word on that.

Option #3: Reverse It - As soon as they begin their speech, you begin yours. Try to sell them something. Do your whole speech: "Hello, I'm with Crazy Ed's Car Lot and we're calling to see if you'd be interest in our brand new credit card. It's free for two days and then you pay an interest rate of 65%..." and on and on.

The main point? Getting them to hang up on you. Don't look at these calls as interruptions... see them as moments to enjoy and annoy people. Most of all, have fun!

Random Idea #7

Go into a McDonald's (or the fast food restaurant of your choice) and speak REALLY, REALLY LOUDLY to the cashier. Imagine him/her as a drive-thru speaker that isn't working properly and you have to lean in and YELL YOUR ORDER at it. If the cashier complains or gets hostile, lean in and tell them the person behind you said the cashier had a hearing disorder.

Random Ideas #1-6

This is a "spin-off" blog from The World As I See It. I began doing these "Random Ideas" and decided to just bring them to their very own blog (it saves space on the other).

Random Idea #1 (Originally posted October 1, 2005)
Here's an idea: Next time you go some place where they make you wear a name tag, ask for two. Write two different names on each one and stick them on opposite sides of your shirt. Spend the rest of the evening pretending to be schizophrenic. Introduce yourself to each person twice.

Random Idea #2 (Originally posted October 3, 2005)
Go into Wal-Mart, pick a random person and ask them directions to get to the Wal-Mart. This can be done in any store. Be sure to enjoy the blank stare on their faces before they turn away from you.

Random Idea #3 (Originally posted October 4, 2005)
There needs to be a sitcom starring the Taco Bell chihuahua and the Aflac Duck. I'm telling you right now it would be a hit. They could be like the new Odd Couple. The dog could be the messy one and the duck could be the clean one. Oh, boy! It'll be hilarious. And their next door neighbors could be the Keebler elves and the wacky friend who always gets them in trouble can be the Geico gecko. The plots just write themselves! I really believe in this show, so I let the artist out in myself and did the advertising free. No thanks needed, CBS.

Random Idea #4: (Originally posted October 7, 2005) Go to the jungle and find a group of lions and try to earn their trust. Then, after 15 years of living with them, leave them while laughing and telling them you fooled them and that they're not so smart after all. "I'm smarter than the lions, I'm smarter than the lions. Nah nah nah nah boo boo!"

Random Idea #5: (Originally posted October 10, 2005) Someone should give a monkey a squirrel and see what happens.

Random Idea #6: (Originally posted October 15, 2005) Take a basket full of muffins and go out onto a busy street and throw them at people. See what happens.
