a few years ago i had what i thought, and still think, was a pretty fucking good idea. ready???
a cordless iron
no more getting the cord caught on stuff, knocking things over etc.. they have cordless vacums, why not cordless irons?
well, some asshole stole that from me. somehow..
also, there was an X-FILES episode that was basically exactly like this short story i wrote in college.
yet another person i need to track down and kill. .
anyone have any great ideas only to have somoene break into your house and steal them, and go on to make millions of dollars?
i have

coffee bag? i'm talking about fresh ground coffee. something about putting pure water in there, as opposed to brewing the water through the coffee tastes different. still one of those is better than no coffee

you're a pedant.
maybe it does taste different but it's a damn sight better
than instant muck or those gravely coffee-bag things

thats what I meant too, I don't really see the difference, I use the same coffee in my filter machine (only less of it) as I do in the espresso thingy so it all tastes the same to me.

I can't guarantee any specialty ales, I'm afraid, although I do have copious quantities of Corona. Not when driving though, dumb idea.
Maybe the christmas beer you can sometimes find in London. 7.5% alcohol by the pint? Blindin'!

any time is the right time to break out some beers. can you find some Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale? even though they only make a limited supply around Christmas time, and you live in the UK?
i have to say that is possibly my favorite beer ever

coffee.
this is interesting.
I used to work in the theatres and they had shitty NHS maxwell house instant crap that I couldn't drink so I took a cafetiere into work to make my coffee with. Then I moved to a new hospital and came accross the ground coffee bags (like teabags) which I thought was marvelous! and they were good but not great. A step in the right direction.
So the other day I was making an espresso on the old hob and decided I'd rather have a long coffee instead so topped it up with hot water which was grand. Now why can't they package espresso shots to be topped up with hot water as a way of taking good coffee to work? Like those little milk cartons you get.
anyway, carry on.

Seeing as I'm driving and carbecuing at the same time, how about we break out some beers? That's a traditional barbecue accompaniment. Also, lets go wild and have a little salad, I'll just make a dressing here.
Good gadget this.

Funny you should mention it, I was just talking with my current colleagues the other day (at my current job) about how much I'd like to move to California to participate in some R&D in the field of portable cooking devices. They were thinking Primus stoves, or maybe the microwaves in the deluxe Winnebago's, but my aims have always been a little higher.
Time was, I'd have suggested you apply for a job here in London taking your fondness for the place into account, its good to see the feeling reciprocated.
You're a good man, Mr Carbecue.

I know exactly what you mean. Seriously, if you can change a tape, or get some coins out of the glove compartment or steer with your knees, surely you can operate a grill at the same time as driving.

others have suggested that using charcol inside a car would be "dangerous." but, my feeling is, if you're the kind of person who can't properly use a barbecue, you probably shouldn't be driving a car either. know what i mean?

American cars have sunroofs right? Problem solved. Send me a prototype, I'll happily test it for you.

though no one sees my vision, i'm still trying to put together a package for my car barbecue idea. it's called The Carbecue™. which is, basically, a mini charcol grill that pops out of the dashboard on the passenger side so that you can barbecue (or, "carbecue") WHILE YOU DRIVE!
who wouldn't want a nice freshly grilled piece of chicken breast, or angus beef burger on a road trip? i don't know anyone who wouldn't, personally.
ventilation is the only problematic aspect at this stage, but i'm figuring it out

if that cordless iron is from 100 years ago why is the photograph in color? huh? tell me that!
i invented a counter-top dishwasher about 10 years ago, it was just a small bachelor version of a regular dishwasher that you connect a hose to your tap and a drainage hose into the sink and when i went to the appliance store to see how much these things go for the guy said "yeah we just started getting these in, they're new and they go for about $500, brilliant idea if you ask me!" ....i told him to fuck off i didn't ask.......grrrrrr. |

He did not necessarily invent the internal combustion engine, but he did create an internal combustion engine.

Or is that someone like a "Wanker" if it is someone like a "Wanker", then, yes. Definately. But I am not a plonker.

A few years ago I came up with this idea for what i called the "internal combustion engine". After years of work i tried to get a patent for it and come to find out some ass monkey had already invented it. I didn't give up though. I decided to go with another idea I had been kicking around. Back in the 80's, girls used to have these little socks that just fit up to the ankle and had little pom poms on them. I liked the idea of little socks for men, particularly for running etc. I worked long and hard on this idea and even managed to patent and start producing these little socks. I attempted to sell them through ad's in the backs of men's magazines, the internet, and such. Well I never sold a single pair. later I start to see the major sock manufactures coming out with these little socks and selling them in the big department stores. I attempted to sue for stealing my patent. But unfortunately I got nothing because my patent showed them with the little pom poms still on the back. I walked away (with my little pom pom socks on) empty handed and actually quite in debt. Bad experience but I haven't given up yet. I'm actually thinking about making thongs for men. when we go out to bars and such we can have our man thongs sticking just out of the back of our pants to drive all the ladies wild. I'm doing some test marketing tonite when I go out, to get some ideas.

The first instance I can recall of an idea I had being stolen was Transformers (or maybe it was GoBots) that turn from robots into dinosaurs. I remember thinking that would be the ultimate. A while after I had that idea, I saw an advertisement on television for Dino-Bots or something. I was very young then... 3, 4, 5... something like that.
