The short list of really bad ideas (ie let's compile it)
This was originally going to be about one minor entry for it, but I couldn't come up with a short enough subject line, so you get the grand slam approach. That really bad idea was listening to the original cast recording of Rent twice running within a 24 hour period. Trust me on this one; mind you, it's still great, and we're not bothered by them, but Alice and I still have songs from Rent running through our heads more than a week later.

Another entry on the very short list is a company located around the block from here: Road Runner Bail Bonding. What do you think were the names they thought about before they picked that one?

Yours? You might avoid obvious ones like Voting for Bush, but if posting such makes you feel better, go for it.

1. How about this..
1.Purchasing a "Tooneyville Choo Choo" for anyone who might play it in your vicinity.

2. Eating that third bean burrito-always a bad idea.

2. My ex had a very bad idea one day
Using a lighter to illuminate his workspace while he was checking to see if the propane tank was leaking (it was).

5. here are a few . . .
1. drinking on an empty stomach -somehow always seems to get me in trouble.

2. someone told me once that if you have your male dog neutered you can purchase prosthetic replacements - this seems to me a HORRIBLE idea

3. currently - checking DU while trying to write a paper - so far a very bad idea - it's taken me all morning.

10. Regarding #2

They were initially for show dogs but are now marketed to "enhance your dog's self esteem" Pardon me, while I vomit awhile.

12. Aside from the obvious disgust factor
it seems to me that they'd get in the dog's way - it seems like some strange form of animal cruelty.
