GOIBER rule #14: No matter what the purpose of entry, bring enough sustenance* to last eight days – you never know what could happen.
Good ideas can come from anyone. Great ideas require a little more – ingenuity, passion, the courage to forge ahead despite your family, friends, coworkers and trolls calling you a damned fool. That, and a secret room.
Some time ago, after getting twisted in my vacuum cord for the umpteenth time, I decided to do something about it. I locked myself for a week in my GOIBER, determined to formulate a mathematical solution for cordless electricity based only on the principles derived from the Faraday cage and Mortal Kombat’s Raiden. But I lacked true focus. Theories led to tangents which led to endless streams of disruptive equations. It was ugly. Then the Dirt Devil came out, and life was good again.
As a Packer fan, you are undoubtedly excited about the recently announced stadium expansion, which will create a so-called “wall of sound.” According to the Packers, these new 6,600 seats in the South End Zone will make a “tremendous impact on the noise level of the stadium.” To me it, it’s like sound on steroids (which, at the moment, cannot be tested but once enough stadiums adopt this practice, the regulatory dweebs with surely intercede...groan).
Until we experience this new and improved G-Force for ourselves, it will have to be left to the imagination. But as novice idea generator myself, I want to give the Packers their due props for this concept. It could, in some way, revolutionize the Lambeau experience – a thought so powerful one can only presume it came from the mysterious LOIBER (Lombardi’s Observations, Inventions, Brainstorms & Experiments Room) hidden deep within the bosom of Lambeau Field.
Well done, Packers. Well done indeed.
+1 awesomeness for Raiden reference.
ReplyDeleteGiddyup!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Raiden, I went so far as to download a MAME so my 8-year old son could enjoy classic arcade games in their original format...including MK v 4.0. He likes Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, but there's no accounting for personal taste, I guess. I prefer the original Rastan (1987), myself. Does that make me a bad parent?
ReplyDeleteWow, how did I overlook this comment!?
ReplyDeleteNo, Ruppert, this does not make you a bad parent - at least to me. This makes you a very cool parent that all the kids will love and the other parents jealous.
