*yawn* As I sit here and watch the seconds tick by till I can get out of here (2640 to go…) I realise I’ve not popped anything on here since Saturday. And in all fairness, that was quite cursory.
Then I realise I don’t have much to scrawl about. Oh no. Blogger’s Block. No random subjects spring to mind, no rants previously unranted, no whinges unwhinged. What is a blogger to do?
Answer: wing it.
A brief run through the old bloglogs shows me some ideas. And quickly I expound on one – copyrighting an idea to say I had it first. OK, how’s this for a little business cracker…
You know those little toys/stickers that you get to put in your car window? Held on with a rubber sucker? Imagine having one for your most hated football team. “But why?” I hear you ask.
Here’s the clever bit. It’s a little figure, hanging limp, dressed in the strip of your arch-rivals. And he’s hung up by a bit of string attached at one end to a rubber sucker… and to the other by a noose round his neck. A hanging mackem. Superb. Wonder if I could make a barrel-load and flog them outside St James’ next season?
And don’t forget, you read the idea here first. So anyone ripping me off can prepare for sue-age.
Ok, what next? Bubble wrap. Stuart’s sat opposite me and is slowly watching a database upgrade. He’s barely moved in the last 10 minutes aside from to pop some of that industrial-strength bubble-wrap. You know, the stuff with bubbles the size of small hen’s eggs. I confess to jumping when the first one went off, but he’s so enraptured he never noticed.
2143 seconds to go…. *sigh*
That rubber sucker thing you’ve seen is hanging from my bedroom window 🙂
Your football figure thing may work. I did see a Newcastle badge thing that you hang on one of those little rubber suckers that said “Eat football, sleep football, hate Sunderland” so there must be a market for them.
All you need now is the money for a production run and stand outside St James’s Park on the first day of next season 🙂 You’ll make a mint
