(*sigh*) Another burst bubble. But thanks, Sue.
Here's kind of a game that you all might like. A friend rather invented
it some 20 years ago (and I'm sure others have played it forever).
It involves inventing wonderful new things for the marketplace. I named
it Here's Our Next Million (HON$M) in honor of my friend's expression to
introduce a whacky idea.
You have to be careful with whom you play. I send HON$M ideas to my
family and they don't speak to me for some time.
Recent HON$M ideas:
** Plastic crab shells into which you stuff false crabmeat (surimi)
** Food wrapping that turns opaque as the food grows disgusting
** Gerbil handles -- you implant or feed magnets to the animal, then
use a strong magnet on a suitcase-like handle to pick it up
** The Gerbil Tabernacle Choir -- (we missed this Christmas with our
CD, but chipmunks did it successfully) -- I also figure it should be a
cinch to create several choirs to do road tours, as many as 1,000
melodious squeaks each
** Novel gerbil marketing -- gerbil Tupperware parties; door-to-door
gerbil consultants; "Ding-dong -- your Gerbil Lady is calling"
** Samoan football players -- I like Samoans and they are big, just
right for American football. I thought to partner with a pleasant,
substantial Samoan woman and open a breeding ranch.
** Kitty Rotisserie -- a non-penetrating spit so the cat can tan evenly
in the sunshine, without expending her own energy
** Kitty Personality Test -- a little pencil-and-paper screening device
so you don't adopt a cat that is absolutely nuts
Some of these ideas remain in Research & Development. I'll spam you when
they're ready to buy.
