Hmm, okay. Changed to "Museum Style "Pettng" Zoo". |
|
| |
Title is a bit of a train wreck. |
|
| |
Do you think the title is better or worse than the idea? |
|
| |
Like the idea of seeing a tiger up close, being able
to walk around it, sort of pet it, get the idea
anyway without getting eaten. |
|
| |
I'll tweak the name a bit. |
|
| |
//Seperate them from the visitors with glass/ |
|
| |
Honestly, with the right hand reared animal those precautions
just aren't necessary, most of the time. |
|
| |
*Spelling Separate, by the way. |
|
| |
This existed in Thailand and probably still does. Soporific (probably with drugs), full-grown lions would let people sit next to them to pet them. Years later, authorities found stacks of dead lion cubs. |
|
| |
In my travels I came across a gas station that
featured tigers once. "Tiger Truckstop" I think it
was
called. |
|
| |
Hmm, how to save a bunless idea. |
|
| |
It's got an ice-cream dispenser on the tail end so
you
can laugh at the tiger "dispensing" treats? |
|
| |
If that doesn't do it nothing will. |

"Hello, Halfbakery idea funeral home? I'm sad to
report the passing of a beloved idea. Well... loved
my me anyway, everybody else hates it. Yes, the
Tiger in a tube idea, you've heard of it? Stupid? No,
you get to pretend you're petting the tig... yes..
okay, anyway it's dead. Can you please help me
dispose of it? The delete button? Okay, thank you." |
|
| |
The tube is very tiger-form fitting and
the tiger enters from below, eats, then backs out
via stairs or a ramp behind the hind legs section. |
|
| |
I'd say it wouldn't even be a tube, it would be a
tiger shaped, maybe 10% larger to give the animal
room to maneuver but giving the appearance of
there being a tiger in the room that just had a
force field around it or something. |
|
| |
(holds out empty bun bowl like Oliver Twist) |
|
| |
Honestly, I think the tigers should be underneath the stairs, as you descend them covered in meat. |
|
| |
Listen, [dr3]; the 'bakery is a bit quiet at the moment, so
nothing is going to be picking up a lot of buns in the short
term. But leave these ideas up, and people may come back
to them later. |
|
| |
Meanwhile, if you need immediate validation, take a dog for
a walk. :-) |

Oddly enough, I tried pitching that to Lady Gaga for a stage
show once, unaccountably, she
didn't care for the idea, she did keep the meat suit though. |
|
| |
Did you try Potassium chloride, although, admittedly, that is a salt |

Speaking of pitching ideas to Lady Gaga, time for
more quasi interesting far fetched made
up tales. Third hand story this time. My buddy is a
very talented recording artist and producer. His
buddy played keyboards or sound engineering or
something (samples and such) on one of Lady
Gaga's tours. According to him, she was obsessively
listening to his album the whole tour. I would
believe it because it's a friggin' masterpiece of
actual instruments and sampled/sequenced tracks.
You get the tightness of techno without it being,
well, techno which you need heavy medication to
listen to without a headache. (Molly?) |
|

("But doc, where do YOU fit in to this amazingly
mind blowingly interesting story that's the
highlight of my entire life?") Getting there. I
performed on two of those songs, one as the
featured soloist and there you have the sad made
up lie of the day, Lady Gaga at one point enjoyed
listening to me performing. She was MY audience.
Theoretically I could describe the featured solo,
(song, what I did, which was pretty original if I do
say so myself) say, "I'm that guy." and she's say "Oh,
okay. I'm familiar with your work." Now she might
follow up with "You really ruined an otherwise good
album." but if it's true that she was listening to the
album throughout the whole tour she would
probably remember my featured vocal solo. |
|
| |
Anyway, I begged my buddy to use that opportunity
to offer to produce her next album, there's no way
he wouldn't have at least gotten a tryout. He said
no, he wasn't a fan. I said he could take her in the
direction of better music and he just wasn't
interested. |
|
| |
Musicians, they're either turning down big bucks
gigs are making up wild stories on online forums. |
|
| |
Can somebody else please make up some
interesting stories here? Me telling these old yarns
from my youth, true or not, is just sad. And they
will get less interesting as I go down the line. |
|
| |
Tell you what, for a bun I'll stop making up stupid
stories about two or three degrees of separation
interactions with
famous people. (rattles
bun beggar's cup) |

But one last one. I shook Ronald Reagan's hand
when he was governor, I was like ten or something.
We were visiting the capital on a field trip,
everybody started
getting all excited because the governor was
coming down the hallway with his staff, I horrified
the teacher by running out in front of him,
stopping and holding my hand out for a handshake.
He laughed, bent over and shook my hand and
asked if I was enjoying the tour or something. I
said "Yes sir." |
|
| |
Pretty sure Ronald never forgot that moment and
told people about it the rest of his life. |
