Random Ideas

I have seen some incredible deals on various things in my life. Regardless of the price, if the level of quality isn't high enough its not really worth owning... Everyone has encountered merchandise of some sort that was high priced but extremely inexpensive for whatever reason. One thing that I have never found a great deal on is laundry detergent. I am not saying that you should buy the most expensive laundry detergent, but the least expensive laundry detergent will knock 2 hours worth of dirt of your clothes as opposed to cleaning it thoroughly. Thats not enough...

During the christmas holiday I had a seasonal position that involved working on a truck. At some point there was a baby doll in the back of the truck that made one of numerous noises if you stood too close to it. There was no way for us to be far enough away from the baby doll to get it to stop making that noise so we had to listen to it for nearly an hour while we were working. At some point, I commented, "You would lose your mind if you were stuck in the room with that baby doll for an entire day and you couldn't block the noise out." The other guy said something like, "Probably..."

The events of the previous paragraph caused me to linger on a topic that I am not inclined to think of at all generally: Ways to drive someone out of their mind. (I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THAT ANYONE EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS). This is an interesting idea, but if you can afford a camera and or a microphone with a recorder attached this could work: Record as much footage of a persons conversations or behavior as possible without their knowledge. After you have enough of this footage, Start repeating entire paragraphs and phrases of this person’s recent conversations to that person during the course of your conversation. Repeat phrases that happened recently enough or were Eventful enough that a person with a decent memory would definitely remember. Just make sure that these were conversations that the person had with someone else. Make frequent references to things the person did that were on camera but say that you were doing those things. Like if you know that a person was playing hopscotch while listening to Afroman earlier, say that you were playing hopscotch earlier while listening to Afroman while repeating entire paragraphs and Distinct phrases from previous conversations that a person had with other people. If you can get a few people involved in this it is that much more effective. Eventually the cumulative affect of something like that would drive someone out of their mind. A person should NEVER do something like this, but I am absolutely certain that it would work. I would guesstimate that the price tag attached to doing something like that is less than $200. Interesting to think about.
