Brainstorming. Crack. A brainstorm of crack?

Hi!

So I am (as you may have noticed, heh) back from that whole hiatus I had going on, and I am feeling a need for more crack in the game -- things like pudding rain and weetiny giraffes. But crack does not spontaneously appear; it must be cultivated. This post is a place for us to brainstorm ideas, flesh them out, and get them together so they can be emailed to our lovely admins. (They can also be submitted via the suggestion box.)

Notes: 1)This post is for random event brainstorming, not BDE proposing. If an idea is small-scale and mostly silly, talk about it here. If it's large or dark, wait for an upcoming post from the admins. Or I will mock you.

2) If something is limited to one room or business -- say, everything in 502 is suddenly covered by a thin film of Velveeta -- you can do it without going through the admins. Though it would probably be nice to ask your roommate :-).

Now, give us crack.

1. Something like Once More with Feeling, from Buffy's canon - i.e., random musical numbers, but they break the usual musical conventions in that people talk about the numbers, and little to-the-audience asides are considered shared information, etc. [I think there may have been one of these before my time, from things I've heard people say, but if so, we could have another one, maybe?]

2. Detachable Velcro limbs, for a day. Rip your arm off! Swap with someone else!

3. Random electronics become sentient, and will argue with you when you try to use them. (I.e., your laptop switches web pages to ones it thinks are more appropriate, the television suggests you read a book for once.)

4. Somewhat swiped from Labyrinth: beautiful fairies appear, but they are bitchy and nasty and bite you.

5. Somewhat swiped from The Sims: genies appear! They will grant you wishes! But they're kinda incompetent. A lot.

6. A common room where conversation has to start with sequential letters of the alphabet. (Ex.: "Are you feeling all right?" "Better than I was." "Can I borrow that?" "Don't mind if you do!")

7. Sitcom background audio: laugh track, applause when someone walks in, an audible "Awwwwww" for anything cute, and the guitar cue of Everyone's About to Hug and Make Up Now

8. Insane Japanese-style game shows, taking place in the common room for no apparent reason, where the questions are bizarre wrong answers mean you get hit with a rain of fish and so on. (I don't know if they really have those game shows in Japan, or if that's a weird misunderstood stereotype; I just think they'd be fun.)

... And speaking of game shows we so need another round of Fandom Peril. *salutes Hades*

Faries appear and they are nasty and bite us? But we already have a tinkerbell!

4. Somewhat swiped from Labyrinth: beautiful fairies appear, but they are bitchy and nasty and bite you.

So then, does this mean Tink's having a family reunion?

Tink says everyone can bite her.

.... Tink family reunion. That would be insane.

Yurika would like to point out that there's nothing wrong with being a bitch. It takes talent and hard work to be the best bitch you can be.

Number 8.... I guess I'm not the only one who DVRs Most Xtreme Challenge? (For a girl, I watch WAY too much Spike tv).
