Build and program a remote-controllable lawn mowing robot. Place a scrolling LED display on it. Write software to let users control it over the internet, and therefore let your site's visitors mow your lawn. Have cameras placed on the mower and throughout the yard. The lawnmower would have certain boundries
set, and the LED display would scroll the user's IP address, hostname, and "You can mow my lawn, too! www.MowMyLawn.com". In the case of high traffic, each user is limited to five minutes of lawn-mowing.
Companion sites: Mopmykitchen.com, Vacuummycarpet.com, Makemeasandwich.com, Harassmycat.com(Control an R/C car in my backyard).
And modify your hamster's habitrail tube system to create: www.confusemyhamster.com!

Hm. You realize people will be spelling out obscenities on your lawn...? |
|
| |
either that or reports of lawnmower weilding robot assasination attepmts will skyrocket. |
|
| |
Howls of "It's 3:30 a.m. you SOB"... |
|
| |
My lawn isn't big enough to spell out obscenities. |
|
| |
UB/DC now think about it . . . would that really happen? It would require unmowed lawn; something that would be in short supply pretty quickly, no? |
|
| |
I think this would be really fun.
Especially if you could link it to a laptop and set it up in Hyde Park (or somewhere). |

I like this idea. You can pay for your URL with advertising from John Deer, Monsanto's, Active Greene and Ross, and other yard and lawn related companies. Your sister websites can have advertising from cleaning supply companies. And your hamster one can be sponsored by The inHumane Society or The Society for Cruelty Against Animals. |

The robot construction would be easier than you think. |

[bris: for the record, I don't see it as a problem, merely a phenomenon. As a student, we carved 40-foot letters into another college's lawns by tramping down the snow, and I love those pictures of the Aussie sheep spelling out something I forget. This is crop circles for the online masses. Especially if they'll let us mess with those combine harvesters out in the Farm Belt.] |

[ImBack], Do you mean Society for the _Prevention_ of Cruelty to Animals or what you said: "The Society for Cruelty Against Animals"? |
|

I think he knows what he means, binary |
|

The farmer version: "Harvest my wheat" - with a full-size
remote-controlled combine harvester.
Nice idea. |
|
| |
Only if one or two people had access would this work. If available to the Internet masses, something that seems to be a part of this idea, there would quickly be no unmowed or untrampled lawn/hay left. |
|
| |
This has unlimited potential. Observe... |

From the controllers' side, I imagine the cat, hamster, and
sandwich ones would be the most entertaining. Trying to
get the masses to do your chores, though, may not be as
successful as you may wish. |

Here's my idea, sure to please all: www.mixmeadrink.com |

I'll gladly mix you a drink. |

Don't you think that over a short amount of time, this would become a fad? first everybody wants to mow your lawn. Then everybody wants people to mow their lawns for them. Then nobody wants to mow lawns anymore. Then you're back to controlling your own remote lawnmower each week, except now and then someone might try spelling out some message. |
