Elephant Painting
I asked a friend what the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan. They said that vegan’s don’t use any animal byproducts. Does that mean you wouldn’t buy a painting from an elephant?

Creationism vs. racism
When I try to teach someone bigoted about one topic I do it by pitting another of their bigoted beliefs against it. Creationism vs. racism. Explain how the reason black people are better at basketball is because of evolution. That way they have to change at least one of their bigoted views. (Act out exaggerated confusion culminating in head exploding).
Basketball Practice
Basketball training where the players shoot every type of basket (3's layups jumpers from all over) and if they shot below a certain percent from that spot they wouldn't be allowed to take that shot during games. If they did and they missed than they would have to do laps for every percent point they were below the accepted for that shot.
Laying down the King
A murderer who played you at chess for your life. He had a set where there was a magnet under one of the squares so if the king moved there he would be knocked over.
Circlejerk
with the help of technology we will evolve into a society approaching complete common knowledge, exe memes, reddit chain of thought (circlejerk).
Individual Knowledge
Whenever you can only think of exaggerated counter examples then it is likely that more additional layers of context lie beneath.
Encyclopedia
I need to invent the next level of encyclopedia; biography of a universal life told thgough every possible thought.
Nirvana
The way to reach nirvana is through evolution as a species, not just through evolution within the individual
Drug Efficiency
A Matirx like injection point surgically implanted for more direct/efficient drug use.

long commercials
Multi part (20/5sec clips) commercial that skips uses 15 parts randomly, then you fill in the blanks yourself when they are missing which becomes free advert
Clapper
Take the idea of the clap on light. Expand so that to instead of using laser remotes you use pitch/rhythmic controlled remotes. Then imagine creating music for practical purpose.
Escapade
I feel like im on a journey and Ive been gone so long I don't know what I'm coming back to.

Taking Good Time
Bad things happen all the time, good things take time.
I don't know if this is true.
I don't know if this is true.
Poor Substitute
If I was a substitute teacher I would try to show the kids that almost all power the teacher has over them is illusory.
Failed Experimnets
A pop fiction book about experiments that never quite gained enough raw data to support their cases, but have interesting anecdotal evidence.

Tonal Language
When a language is tonal does it remove the ability to use vocal inflection for things like sarcasm? Or are they just replaced with explicit words. Does this make it easier to lie?

Bait and Switch
A prank where you get a a person to listen to two people reading text. You have them pay attention/ try to remember to one text and then when a bell rings you have them switch and pay attention to the other text, only the second text is The School of Libertinism.

Addition to Society
What I like about art is that anyone can almost immediately make a contribution to the artistic community just by providing their own unique perspective.
Twice Going
Some thoughts are not worth delving into twice. This is one of them. I have to stop. Ok fine once more.
Radius of Knowledge
The amount of knowledge a society has is the average radius of one person's knowledge.
Paper Weight
I heard that necessity is the mother of invention. Then I was thinking about the inventor of the paper weight. Now there's a problem that nobody had, with practically infinite solutions. Anything can be a paper weight. Even paper can be a paperweight.
16th C excuses
"Oh, my bad, I didn't realize you used the Gregorian calendar. I'm still on the Julian.
PDA
Ugly people are most likely to exhibit personal displays of affection. "Hey look at me, someone in this miserable world finds me attractive!"
Reflexes
I wish my wife had the same reflexes as our baby. That's right, grasping rooting and sucking.
Ask me any question
Whenever anyone asks me a question I just say, "I think I'm in the wrong place", and leave.
Emotion
What is your favorite emotion? What is the emotion you spend the most time with?
Try to make them the same answer and everything else should be a byproduct of that goal.

Snow Crash
Something I can empathize with, "the kind of person who feels most at home on the dark side of a one way mirror."
The Life Coach
Example used: Sting
Other options include singers of famous songs with girls names in them.
Opening scene: Bar, attractive woman with martini, empty seat to her side.
Loser enters: (imagine Jonah Hill type.) loser approaches bar, orders a drink and asks her name in what he imagines is suave but is actually a poor attempt.
She replies, "Carol"
"Are you sure its not "Roxanne"" Which he beings to sing loudly and obnoxiously.
She runs away in disgust.
Camera pans following Loser walking to the other side of the bar see him sit down
Loser: "I don't get it I did exactly what you told me and it didn't work at all"
Switch camera now focused on Sting on the other side of the booth. Pause for a second.
Sting: I don't understand, it always works for me.
Sting goes up to incredibly attractive girl. She is not looking at him
Sting: Whats your name?
She turns around and is immediately enamored with Sting. Says, "Megan".
Sting: "Are you sure it's not Roxanne" tears shirt off begins to sing, guitar is lowered lights change background musicians come out.
She swoons. He puts down the guitar, she jumps into his arms and he carries her away.
Possible follow-up scene. Short scene of Loser reattempting this time with taking off his shirt.

Ice honey
There is an expression describing someone as "honey for the icebox" in that cold sweats won't spread
TV Guide
I just got a job working for the TV guide network. Yeah I have to turn the crank to make the channels go by like old school car windows. Does anyone use the TV guide network anymore. Every cable or satellite company has that ability built into their remote, you don't need to wait anymore. You just want to see what channel (exaggerated TV show based on type of audience, eg real housewives of atlanta). But no you had to wait 5 minutes while it tell you whats on all the movie channels and the government access or the (exaggerated TV show in opposite direction based on type of audience eg 5 million sports channels, I mean seriously how many games can you watch, mimic guy trying to futilely explain)
and while its going through they try to entertain you with (example exaggerated to audience eg. 80s movies fuckin 16 candles or some other molly ringwald John huges bratpack garbage) which honestly wouldn't be to bad, I actually really like breakfast club I'm not sure why I said that, anyways, it wouldn't be too bad except the bottom third of the screen is taken up by the fuckin crank machine that is really the only reason you're on the channel anyway. So maybe my arm gets tired and the reel starts to just creep along so you think you have enough time to go to (something crazy eg. shoo those bats out of the kitchen. What always happen's? right when you get back it passed over the channels you were looking for. So you sit, you promise that you will pay attention and not leave but the next time it comes around you aren't paying attention cause your dancing with Emilio and Judd (pantomime). By the time you actually find out the channels and the times you already missed whatever you wanted to watch. Whatever, at least it means now I can write some jokes from girls, half the guys here missed all those references I just made and half the girls were impressed with these moves.

"I don't know"
I don't know is the answer to any question. At least you are never wrong, just ignorant.
Small World
I hate it when people use the expression "its a small world".
No, you just live in your own small world.
