Members LDF Posted October 15, 2005 Members Posted October 15, 2005 A decent acoustic that could be disassembled into a small kit would be very useful indeed. So get to it!
Members JasmineTea Posted October 15, 2005 Author Members Posted October 15, 2005 I know a guy who gigs with a folding guitar. No kidding.

Members Cldplytkmn Posted October 15, 2005 Members Posted October 15, 2005 I'm gonna figure out a way to scan all the groceries in your cart without taking them out... i find it absolutely inconceivable that we still use a system that requires your groceries to be moved by hand, FOUR TIMES... I've got a good idea in my head, just need to smooth out some rough edges.

That {censored} sets my brain on fire. We had dudes walking around on the freakin' MOON 40 years ago, yet a more efficient means of rectifying an overcharge for a pack of Ho-Ho's continues to elude us.

I've got a good idea in my head, just need to smooth out some rough edges. Hate to be the one to bust your bubble but it has already been done. There's a system being developed/implemented in the shipping industry that uses small coded chips that respond to RF frequency scanners. Each one is set to a unique code much like the international bar code system. By using a hand-held scanner, a shipping clerk can scan a pallet of goods and get a precise inventory of the items on the pallet. it will even work on something as large as a shipping container. A similar system has already had trial runs in a grocery chain in upstate NY (at least, i think that's where it was). Shoppers would load their cart and a unit on the cart would automatically read the things put in the cart displaying a running total. When you check out, the unit downloads to the register and out you go.
Members Cldplytkmn Posted October 15, 2005 Members Posted October 15, 2005 don't get me wrong... it doesn't have to be my invention for me to be thrilled... I just want the nonsense to end.
Members guitarcapo Posted October 15, 2005 Members Posted October 15, 2005 The lady that invented the chemical in those glow necklaces and bracelets you see everywhere at concerts lives in my town. She sold her company to some chemical corporation for 30 million. My dad was best man for the wedding of the guy who invented the Dove Bar. His four sons sold the business to some food conglomerate. Each of the 4 children got 20 million.
Members carguy Posted October 16, 2005 Members Posted October 16, 2005 Hey JT! I know this will be hard for you to believe, but: I had an old '57 Plymouth transmission laying on the garage floor for a real long time, so I decided to try to something with it. About the same time, the old lady next door died, so I "borrowed" a few parts from her. You wouldn't believe the chick that I made out of the parts. She can cook, clean, make love, and I have her rigged up so she can't talk....absolutely perfect. Now that's an invention.
Members gnurph Posted October 16, 2005 Members Posted October 16, 2005 Every man's dream woman... Can I have the specs? I'm thinking of modding my wife.
Members f. mach Posted October 16, 2005 Members Posted October 16, 2005 Here's an invention for you to perfect. On occasion, a person may want to use a slide on a guitar with low strings. How about some kind of plate that slips under the strings. The plate should have a ridge on it that fits over a fret. With such a plate in place, and a capo holding the strings down on the plate, the ridge keeps the strings up high. Could also be used on a slide guitar to bring it to a higher key.

I thought I'd seen something like that, but it was an extension nut that fits over a normal nut raising the strings for slide playing.

Members carguy Posted October 16, 2005 Members Posted October 16, 2005 Here's a picture of her. You supply the transmission, I'll do the rest. Will it be cash or charge?

Mr. Potatoguitar When I read "The Swiss Army Guitar", I immediately thought you wanted a guitar with a folding knife, a couple of screwdrivers, a corkscrew and a toothpick you could lose.
