Julia Gillard, Australia's Prime Minister, is meeting with the Queen, when she says to old Liz, "I'd like you to make me a Queen too then change Australia's status and make it a Queendom so I can rule it as a Queen. What do you think?" |
|
| |
QEII replies, "You already seem to be doing quite well running the place as a country, Julia." |
|
| |
I would vote for this, if it were what the title suggests,
namely a reminder that everybody is stupid (the way a
memento mori is a reminder that everybody dies).
For politicians only: meh. |
|

Skull sizes are not related to intelligence, intelligence
isn't very related to ability, and ability isn't related to
doing what's right.
Here, have the rotting corpse of a fish. |
|
| |
I think it's a great idea... nothing to do with intelligence, mind. Simply a chance to have the bastards' heads, or a facsimile thereof, mounted on your wall or mantelpiece. |
|
| |
8th- well you've replicated their heads, so whats the point of a hunt? |
|
| |
I think you really want to rework this idea, don't you... |
|
| |
I don't see why this idea wouldn't take off, given the human propensity for inane collecting behavior. |
|
| |
And, there was a guy that sold a set of [famous person] discarded chewing gum on eBay. Apparently, he followed famous people around down at the beach and collected their gum after they had spit it out. It was in a tasteful wood/glass display; each beach-sand-encrusted piece poised atop a needle-like structure. After you got through the initial revulsion, it was really quite... oh, who am I kidding. It was still disgusting. But someone bought it anyway. |
|
| |
The point is (if one can glean a point from the preceding) that there is probably a market for your idea, [8th]. [+] |

Let's not overlook the mementos and coke rocket
possibilities. |

Charms used to remember small trolls, who go off on adventures: Memento Moomin |
|
| |
Talking of which, where is [Moom] these days? |
|
| |
//Charms used to remember small trolls//
Memento Morlock? |
|
| |
Memento Moloch ? Skulls of sub-human troglodytes ? |
|
| |
... which brings us neatly back to the original idea. |
|
| |
Momento Moray, for people who need to remember something about eels. |
|
| |
Momento Murray, a planned line of products poised for release on the death of a prominent British ex-Formula 1 commentator. |
|
| |
Memento Marry... <looks at left hand>... ok, baked. |

I'm in the US, so there is a certain politician whose real or simulated head on a pike would make a welcome addition to my mantle. |
|
| |
Any "Babylon 5" fans out there? |

"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this." [waves] - Ambassador Vir Cotto |
|
| |
So, I'd like mine kind of life like and mounted on a pike. (+) |
|
| |
Pikes are extra. Next to last page of the catalog, "Accessories". |
|
| |
That sour taste reminding you leftover sushi is not a good idea. |
|

//Any "Babylon 5" fans out there?//
Londo: Well actually, yes. |

//Londo// up to around 3 months ago, I was working with this lovely bloke who's name gave me the excuse to imagine myself saying in increasingly Mollarian terms, the phrase: |
|
| |
Kept me smiling for months. |
|
| |
Heh! I confess that I can occasionally be caught muttering to myself about the location of the braking thruster button. |
