What's Green and Blue and Round All Over?

Not the earth, if that's what you were thinking. Haven't you ever seen a mountain?

I keep forgetting about this, but I have a genius idea. You can probably tell what it is by the title. I first came up with in in Biology when I was hole punching my papers

So the general idea is that it looks like a regular 3 hole hole-puncher, but it's a little longer so that you have room to add the stapler at the top.



My hole puncher looks like the one above, except it's a more sensible black. And my mini stapler looks almost exactly like that one, except it's longer and probably 20 or so years older. But the shorter version is actually better for our purposes.

I'm not good at building things, but the way I visualize it, you'd take a regular hole-puncher and just extend on top around an inch or two. Maybe an inch and a half. In the extra space, you'd have to metal plating that gives the staple it's shape. And then the stapler dispenser thing would be attached to the pressing part on top, just like in a normal stapler. The only problem is that it could probably only hold 20 - 30 staples.

Height isn't an issue, I would assume, because my stapler and hole-puncher are the same height. In fact, it's kind of crazy how similar they are in height.

The pressing part would be split in two. One for the hole-puncher and the other for the stapler. Obviously, the stapler part would be drastically shorter, around the same length as the metal plate.

I guess it would be kind of awkward that the hole-puncher part slants down, while the stapler part slants up.

I think that could be fixed by either adding extra material to the back of the stapler part, or simply leaving it as is. Since the pressing part is going to be detached anyways, the bottom could be a single piece while the top is clearly two parts.

I'd add a picture of the blueprints, but they're pretty terrible and I drew it on an index card, so you guys will have to visualize it yourself. Maybe somebody could try drawing it. Except my description is pretty bad too.


Starting after 6/8/2014, 6 - 8 - 14, June 8, 2014, or however you write the date, I officially unofficially claim rights to the hole puncher stapler. I really don't mind if someone else makes it because I probably won't ever be able to create a physical version by myself, but please don't claim the idea as your own.

I had another stroke of genius: sectioned ziploc bags.

I don't think they've been invented yet because I googled them, but maybe I used the wrong words or something.

I was inspired while thinking of ways to carry around origami. When you make kusudamas, there's usually 2 different parts. The petal or whatever and the connector. I suppose you could carry them both in 1 bag, but I prefer to keep them separate, which is where the sectioned ziploc bags comes in!

Essentially, it's two ziploc bags stitched together. I made a diagram. The dotted lines aren't supposed to represent perforations, but the kind of stitch-seal-thing used on the sides of ziploc bags.



You could also give some leeway between the two bags like so:


I haven't decided what to do with the seal part. I think that it'd be best to use two separate ones. They should go from side to side of each part of the bag, so if there's no space in between the two bags, then they should basically touch.

And that's the gist of it. As of September 23, 2014, I officially claim the idea of sectioned ziploc bags as mine! Feel free to actually make them, just be sure to give me credit! Unless, of course, they already exist. Then disregard this entire post.

Once again, I've come up with a brilliant idea. It's called... Divorcee Reality TV!

All it is is a reality tv show for couples that want to get back together. Maybe get them some marriage counseling, have them tell each other their faults, send them on a few romantic dates, and BAM! Before you know it, they're signing the marriage register again.

A blonde, brunet, and redhead robbed a bank. While they were running from the police, they found a farm and decided to hide there. The redhead hid in the barn, so when an officer walked by, he/she said, "Mooooo" and the cop thought, "Hm... nothing wrong here." The brunet hid with a flock of sheep, so when an officer walked by, he/she said, "Baaaaa" and the cop thought, "Hm... nothing wrong here." The blond hid among a sack of potatoes, so when the officer walked by, he/she said, "Potato. Potato."

But luckily, the cop was blond too so he/she thought, "Hm... nothing wrong here" and walked off.

I didn't come up with this - someone at my lunch table did.

If you guys aren't familiar with sagging, it's where guys pull their pants approximately halfway down their butt so that their boxers show. I suppose girls could do it too, but I've never seen a girl sag. It's kind of 'in' right now. I say kind of because sagging vs regular isn't like skinny jeans vs boot cut. Sagging is usually associated with gangsters and 'thug life' etc. At least it is here, I'm not sure about other places.

Anyways, the people at the lunch table in front of mine all sag and there was one guy who was wearing 2 pairs of pants and my friend said, "I'm pretty sure he's wearing 2 pairs of pants just to sag."

Instead of wearing 2 pairs of pants or exposing your boxers to the world, you should wear pants that are made specially for sagging. I imagine them as being regular jeans, but having an extra part on top. You know how if you hold a layered skirt by the top layer, it'll pull up to hide the top of the skirt and the rest of it will hang down like normal? That's what the pants will be like, but in reverse. In the skirt example, the top of the layer you're holding is wider than the part where it's sewn in, but on the pants, the extra thing of fabric is less wide to stay at your waist and it gets wider going down like a regular pair of boxers before being sewn into the inside of the pants. I think that if the circumference of the boxer part is larger than the circumference of the jeans, then they'll bunch up like regular boxers too.

On regular jeans, there's a top strip of fabric that starts at the very top and is about half as wide as the length of the belt loops. I think that the boxer part of sagging pants should be sewn in on the inside of the jeans at the bottom of the aforementioned strip.
