the list of bad ideas.
It should be pointed out that this list is not intended to be the list of the worst ideas ever- just a collection of middle-of-the road-bad stuff that just oughtn’t come to be.
1. Steakdough.
This product would come in 5 pound tubs and be available in the freezer section at Sam’s. You just scoop out as much as you like, rolling pin to a steak-like shape and throw it on the grill. Magical.
2. M.O.O.N.
This clever evengelical tool would really reel ‘em in by hosting non-intrusive events like volleyball at the church or in the neighborhood. What’s the acronym? Members Only Outreach Nite. Sweet- you can only come if you’re a church member already.
3. “Scene It” DVD Game: ‘That 80’s Show’ Edition
We were having ice cream with friends and i asked, “What’s the show that lasted less than one season and deserved to run even less than that?” It took Zach like 2 seconds to come up with, “That 80’s Show.”
4. What would you call this disc?
A CD collection of the 10 most popular/best-selling video game theme songs. It would be sung by chickens. Consider my favorite so far: the Super Mario Bros. theme… bok-bok-bok, bubububok-bok-bok-bok-bubok.
5. The Deli Claw
The classic claw game- but with sandwich ingredients for prizes! Build your own deli style sandwich by manipulating the claw to select your favorite items- everyone’s a winner! 25cents per ingredient/attempt. For further amusement, imagine Jim Belushi attempting to operate this machine.
i actually can’t wait for this list…

I like the 2nd one. You gotta hit your numbers, man…can’t do that when people are uncomfortable.

bad idea made worse: steakdough - of course, i would still burn it. M.O.O.N. - i think some churches are already mooning people … did you trademark this yet?!

You know, that version IS the worst. I personally think it’s the worst because I was a baby-toddler-child in the 80s and here’s what I recall from tv in this era:
Little House
Fraggle Rock
Punky Brewster
Nick at Night (Donna Reed mostly)
She-Ra
Chipmunks (and Chipettes)
Mr. Wizard
That is all(for now!).

I feel like i should stick up for mr. wizard… but i’m not sure what i would say.

No, I seriously loved those shows, hence my great memory for/of/to them. I’m saying these mems are most likely NOT the answers to the game’s questions. The game is rigged against babies of the 80s!

Josh’ll have to show you the theme someone made using the Microsoft jingle (when the PC goes on and off). It’s pretty good.
