Only 326 days remaining til next Halloween.

I propose a mask-less mask.
A real time recorder/projector clipped to the brim of a hat programmed to Deepfake another persons' face onto your own.

Sure you could look like your favourite celebrity but wouldn't you rather look like Davie Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean with tentacles writhing all over the place?

I predicted this would be big in the 2020s [tatterdemalion, Dec 12 2021]

hmmmm

I thought this up years ago but forgot about it. I recently unpacked my jotted down idea title list.
muhahahahaha

You've been warned mortals.

Excellent. [++] A baseball cap could be used to house the backwardky pointing projector.

//Short memory, or just poor at connecting related ideas?//

Well... I try to scribble idea names down when I have them and so there's a few sheets of foolscap covered in what appears to be gibberish to anyone but me that got packed away when we moved and I found it the other day. I had forgotten about this one.

Some of what is written on those pages is now gibberish to me as well because I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I wrote them down.
I'm certain they were absolutely brilliant though and if I continue to be unable to remember them their loss will undoubtedly be a detriment to all of humanity.

You let them wear off?

Well see there's your problem right there.

Huh, for me it's just beer for the melatonin and sativa to keep the old pineal gland decalcified.
...or at least that's what I tell myself.

//muhahahahaha//

I saw that on a novelty licence plate last night.

What?... muhahahahaha?

I once saw a bumper sticker that stumped me and I would randomly remember it for years before it finally dawned on me what it said.

There was an icon of an eye, and icon of a heart, followed by EX-WIFE, then a pine tree icon, and then a G clef music symbol.

When I suddenly clued in to the translation my maniacal laughter without any context whatsoever rather startled the occupants of the vehicle I was driving at the time.

Any guesses?

I'm going to guess that "EX-WIFE" in this case is a kind of reverse- rebus, so that you swap in a rude word alongside two other elements (fir - key? tree - clef?) to make a longer word showing what the driver loves.

Is that on the right track?
-- pertinax, Dec 11 2021


Oh, wait. I got it; two words, not one long one.
-- pertinax, Dec 11 2021


It 'is' rude, but made me laugh out loud when I got it.

And yes, the novelty licence plate really did say ... I think it was "muahahaha". In this state, the government seems pretty relaxed about what you put on your licence plate, so long as it's unique on their registry.
