Random Train of Thought - Celebrity Feedbag!
Someone may already have thought of this, but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything like it. While I was washing dishes my mind wandered as it sometimes does. Something along the lines of the following emerged as an idea for a site:
'Ever wanted to buy Samuel L. Jackson a beer? How about send a burger the way of Lindsey Lohan or the Olsen Twins? Well, now's your chance!' We've contracted with delivery places in the Hollywood area. On this site you can buy food, beer, flowers, and other small gifts for a wide assortment of celebrities, and it will actually be delivered to their home with the note of your choice, as your gift to them. Show your appreciation, or just get yourself noticed... send a deserving celebrity your gift today!'
Now, I suppose you could go it one of two ways, either as a serious site (which would take a lot more work and setup and such, along with guidelines like 'if the celebrity is not home or refuses a gift it or the actual cost of the item (in the case of non-perishables) will be given to charity.'), or as a joke site along the lines of the 'send me money or I'll eat this bunny' site (which had paypal links but they didn't work). However, I'm too lazy to do any of this. But if anyone reads this and does make money off it, I want a cut. I'm reasonable - 5% of profits is fine. That way if it only makes a bit, you still keep the bulk, but if it goes really big I don't feel cheated and feel the need to sue. Not that I expect it to go big.
For those curious as to how my mind works, here is (more or less) how the train of thought went: Possibilities for dinner tonight -> Dinner last night (gyros) -> Unlock the Awesome Power of Gyros -> Unlock the Awesome Power of Salsa -> The Leonard Nimoy Should Eat More Salsa Foundation -> They should add a button to that site where you can order a jar of salsa sent to Nimoy's address (or a gyro) -> wouldn't it be funny if Leonard Nimoy just randomly started getting hundreds of gyros delivered to his place every day? -> You know, I bet if someone had access to celebrity addresses, they could make a business where you order food and stuff for celebrities and have it delivered to their place -> Like celebrities don't get enough free stuff -> still, I'm sure many people would buy it anyway either as a gesture of respect, or to buy those super-skinny teen actresses a hamburger.
(Also, I crammed two of my lesser-used user icons together to make room for a new icon with the 'rotating' keyword, that I'll change whenever I want to use a new icon but don't have room. This is the first entry using it.)
