Brainstorming

Please make me laugh!

from JoeUser Forums
Did you ever "brain storm" in school? I was in a group called "Challenge". It is comparable to what they now call TAD (talented and gifted). They had this silly exercise they called brainstorming where they give you subjects and you think of as many ideas regarding that subject as possible during a given amount of time. The fun part is you don't have to consider how to actually do the things you come up with.

Ready, I'm going to give you some silly subjects, please make me laugh with your ideas!

1)Extreme golf.

2)Survivor: Manhattan

3)A true "Reality show"

4)Broadway shows that Monty Python might make


I would appreciate your thoughts on any of the above. Just a fun diversion from the daily grind :)

"They had this silly exercise they called brainstorming..."

Many people consider it to be an excellent tool for problem solving and generating creative work.

Take top PGA players, put them on course with ravenous wolverines that are SOMEWHERE on the course.

Despite being in Manhattan, the "Crack house" tribe is unable to get a fire going.

The lives of skin mites.

Monty Python Broadway show:
"Don't cry for me Oliver Cromwell" A musical about the life and (ahem) death of Oliver Cromwell.

Abe, lighten up! It seemed silly at age 10. This is about generating laughs, giggles, chuckles.

Frogboy, thanks for the laughs. Ravenous wolverines.....nice!

Extreme Golf: Golfing in a live minefield. The winner is the player with the most attached body parts at the end.

Survivor Manhattan: Four teams are given five hundred dollars each to split among the players. Whoever can survive a walk through Central Park with all money remaining (I.E. not getting mugged) keeps the cash.

True Reality TV: 'Soap' Opera. The thrilling day in the life of watching a bottle of Dawn detergent.

Monty Python Broadway: 'Damn Flakees', the story of a young man's horrendous struggle with dandruff and his eventual coming to terms.

I used to love doing these in school.

1)Extreme golf.
5 men covered in strips of bacon given each a ball and a putter ....700 weiner dogs. Whoever plays through and still has bacon wins. (Golf really isn't about points, anyway, is it?)

2)Survivor: Manhattan
8 people all with a body mass index of 40. No public transportation can be used. All places that they can eat at are at least on the 3rd floor. No cake for 3 weeks. No McDonald's allowed. They each only have $200 for food for the 3 weeks. The one who ends up with the highest BMI wins.

3)A true "Reality show"
On this episode of "Extreme Smiths" we join Bob Smith and his family is an intense battle over the remote. In a keen, strategic move, Joan Smith distracts Bob by telling him that she thought she heard the pizza guy at the door. She gains control over the remote, but can it last?

4)Broadway shows that Monty Python might make
"Annie get your rabid weasel" The story tells the true story of Annie OhWhatWasSheThinking, an illiterate accountant with a knack for catching rabid weasels. She decides to join Blind Bill's traveling Wild Weasel Show, then falls in love with Frank ButWhatWereYouThinking, the beloved weasel trainer. Unfortunately, after 15 silly songs, a giant dancing shrubbery, and sleeping parrot, all were eaten by the weasels.

"Abe, lighten up! It seemed silly at age 10. This is about generating laughs, giggles, chuckles."

A couple days ago I explained with a straight face to my coworkers that I do not laugh. Ever.

Splateaux, I know you had a comment hear but I don't know what happened to it. It was posted 9 times so I deleted it 3 times then all of the sudden all 9 were gone! Sorry about that. Don't know what happened.
