Ye old HB
Halfbakery in the 1900's - by invitation only | |
Held annually in London in a cobble-stoned square surrounded by Victorian mews.
As you walk in, the first thing you notice is the wretched smell of rotten fish mixed with freshly baked pastries. You make your way to the small podium laid in the centre of the square surrounded by dozens of people
stood quietly, holding baskets and dressed appropriately for the time period. You close you eyes briefly and make a silent prayer, for it is your turn to take the stand
You begin by announcing the name of your idea, followed by a summary, and then proceed to give a detailed description.
As you arrive to the main-body of your description you begin to hear the quiet rumbling from the crowd as they reach into their baskets for one of the 2 objects each contains.
And so the judgment begins...

21Q... Nice to see that you do have a positive side to your personality. Well done. Have a (*) |

Annotation could be managed by
the right honourable chairperson,
who gives each member a turn to
stand and speak on the idea. |
|
| |
"Order! Order! The chair
recognises the right honourable
Una Bubba Esq." |

Fishbones and croissants would
have to be on strings, so voters
could reel them back in and cast
anew as the discussion proceeds. |
|
| |
I sort of like the idea of the fishbone / croissant pileup if voters were not recycling them. Would make the climb to the podium a bit treacherous though. Maybe custodial duty could be arranged. |
|
| |
Custardial duties? Croissants and Fishbones on the end of fishing-rods please. |

hmmm. steampunkish. How about a spinning governor
(visually impressive) with a steam line to fill the globes at
the far parts of the governor with condensed water to finely
adjust the spinning (valve) effect? I have not heard of s
spinning governor with weights adjustable at the spin
before. |

To go a bit further back, we could reconstruct Raphael's "School
of Athens". |
|
| |
You really should post that as a separate idea. |
|

A vast depiction of stylized halfbakers, holding models or standing by depictions of their most cherished ideas, with a background of other notable HB ideas ... Raphael meets Breughel meets Hieronymus Bosch, with a leavening of Salvador Dali. |
|
| |
L. da Vinci could be in the picture as an honorary Baker; and Noah, of course - probably the first HalfBaker. A huge ship made from Gophers ? Mad as a spoon .... |

Go on, [pert], you've got the basics. Take it and run with it. Run. Run now. Run far, run fast, and DON'T LOOK BACK ... |
