You know what 'those' ideas are. They are the ideas that start off as nothing more than a whim, a flight of fancy. Then, you think about them some more. They start to make more sense, and soon they become all-consuming wells of consciousness that devour every second in their pure brilliance...
Wait -- what was I talking about again? Oh yes, ideas. Post some of these crazy ideas that may make more sense than they first appeared. I'll get the ball rolling:
1) If I jumped off the Eiffel Tower, and there was nothing to break my fall but a very large foam pit, I would survive. True, or false?
2) If I were to keep licking a wall, after a long time I will have been able to lick my way through it due to erosion. Yes, or no?
1. Possibly, after all, some people have survived their parachutes malfunctioning when skydiving by landing in trees or snowbanks. However, they still mostly had serious injuries. But a foam pit below the Eiffel Tower? Yeah, I think you could reasonably survive that.
2. Only if your tongue was made of some substance that doesn't get affected by sandpaper or the like. Because quite frankly, it's possible, though it would take years and years, but your tongue would be pretty fucked by the end. Expect lots of blood.
As for my ideas, my ideas generally end up as short stories, most of which are here and on Deviant Art. [http://trivun.deviantart.com/] These usually involve vampires, blood, gore, or various other 'squick' ideas. Here's a quick summary of my last story (modern Red Riding Hood), and my next one (modern Hansel and Gretel):
RRH: Wolf replaced by psycho sadistic lesbian called Luna. Red is a goth. Luna seduces her then murders her grandmother. Red responds by chopping up Luna into tiny pieces and burning them on a fire. Red gets carted off at end to loony bin by police.
H&G: Hansel and Gretel's mother decides to kill kids to claim life insurance. Dad takes them to woods and gives them money to live because he can't bear to kill them. Sadistic and borderline psychotic Gretel manipulates brother into following her home to get revenge on their mother. Along the way they meet a kind woman (the 'witch') who Gretel subsequently murders so the siblings can take her food and use her house as shelter. They go home and Gretel manipulates her mother into killing her dad and brother. She then murders her mother and escapes as the police arrive. Oh, and did I mention that Gretel has a barely concealed lust for her brother to the point she tries to seduce him after killing the woman?
Yeah, I have a sick and twisted imagination...
