Yeah, so, I was just sitting here late at night, dinking with the forum, and it was very apparent that while our site's potential is increasing everyday, our site's traffic is still only the refreshing clicks of myself, Andy, and Jared. I think the simple solution to this is some solid, entertaining content that would keep the few people we can lure here coming back, maybe even bringing a friend. So since I just happened to be up with nothing better to do, the following is a list of everything substantially funny that I could come up with. If anyone of these sound appealing to you (the you here being the imaginary "anyone other than myself, Andy, and Jared"), comment on the forum. Bottom line, I'm trying to have fun with this website, and maybe even pass a little of the fun on. Without further ado, here is my list of amusing prospects; comments are welcome:
1. Me, Mr. Braces, and Jittles perform a "Modification" project on our cars, entailing things like flimsy cardboard spoilers duct-taped to my Honda Accord.
2. Me and anyone else who has the kahones attempt to spend a day living in a store; for example, in the evening we'd wear night-robes we found in the store, use various toiletries without purchasing them, and sleep in the bed displays.
3. We hold an open invite NES tournament (preferably something like Ice Hockey) atJared's house, and do a full story. Surely the matches would be humorously dramatic/violent, and funny pictures would result i.e. Jared making an angry face and aggressively spinning an NES controller about his head.
4. We go to the city dump, or some sort of junkyard, and light whatever we want on fire. Then we blow things up. Then we put things that blow up on other things to light them on fire. You just cant go wrong all that flaming goodness.
5. We do a story on the Elusive Angry Tibetan Monk. This one is actually in the works, and I hear he likes to tackle people.
6. I do a "science" project in which I test the strange lotions for their effect on my sunburn, i.e. guacamole or Worcestershire sauce. Too bad my sunburn is starting to clear up, though.
7. We get some kind of Question and Answer page going on the site. Every couple of days we could post dumb/funny trivia questions, and give funny replies from like the Angry monk or whatever. Maybe we could get people to mail us what they thought was funny, and pick a winner. If not a Q and A, lets at least get "The Angry Monk's Answer Corner" program going, for funny Tibetan responses to user-inputted questions.
8. Some sort of story about me and Jared's "Bowl war." Jared, you know what I'm talking about. And a little over-exaggeration about Berta and her threats would make for good stuff. Maybe I get angry when you bring the bowl back to my house, so I do something funny like slash your tires or pour lime all over your lawn. On second thought maybe this was a dumb idea.
9.Wet T-shirt Contest. Except what we'd really be doing would be spraying a t-shirt on the ground with a hose in public places, and then harass strangers for "cover charges" to our show. When they don't pay, we spray them, and then run from the angry strangers/police. We could have our friends pose as strangers, it would be great to have a picture of Robby getting hit in the face with a wet t-shirt when he wont pay, and then he runs after us. On second thought maybe this was a dumb idea.
10. Some sort of tribute to Robot Ron and Robot Frank using our "suits." Or maybe a parody of them, where the robots get the crap kicked out of them when they try funny stuff. Who knows.
Okay, there are 10 ideas, and i know they are not the best, but it's something, and its a step in the right direction.
