Idea: A unique (and very silly) solution for preventing the fish species Asian Carp from invading the Great Lakes and damaging the ecosystem and fishing industry Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 17 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman, Ann Arbor Tonight: twitter.com/A2Tonight) Doug Glidden (facebook.com/doug.glidden.7) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: To reuse polluted/unusable land in torn down Detroit neighborhoods as cemeteries. Also: to preserve ruins of architecturally impressive buildings in Detroit to use as tourist attractions (like the ruins of ancient Rome), to film apocalyptic movies and zombie movies in Detroit Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 17 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman, Ann Arbor Tonight: twitter.com/A2Tonight) Doug Glidden (facebook.com/doug.glidden.7) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: To use ancient/low-tech building techniques and manual labor to build a giant pyramid in Detroit out of the waste material of torn down buildings. Also: Flint Stonehenge (https://youtu.be/bsoYkGb7p28), watching people move the 10+ ton blocks is more entertaining than viewing a completed pyramid, building a pyramid for exercise Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 17 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman, Ann Arbor Tonight: twitter.com/A2Tonight) Doug Glidden (facebook.com/doug.glidden.7) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: An Uber-like service for delivering parking-space-sized gyms to people's houses for the duration of a workout. Also: could be used for playing VR videogames, could replace strip clubs and sleazy hookup hotels, could incorporate health food delivery and personal trainers (or polar bears), flipping off delivery vehicles of unhealthy foods (i.e. pizza) Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 16 Darnell Anderson (twitter.com/darnell_IRL) Zachary Burcar (twitter.com/burcarz) Nicki Wright (twitter.com/ohthatnicki) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea (NSFW): a TV show like Reading Rainbow but for fan-fiction. Also: it would drive LeVar Burton insane, maybe the authors of the creepy perverted fan fiction were on Reading Rainbow as kids and it somehow corrupted them Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 16 Zachary Burcar (twitter.com/burcarz) Nicki Wright (twitter.com/ohthatnicki) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: To slow down travel to reduce the stressful fast pace of life. Also: people jumping onto the slower vehicles while they're moving and robbing them (like modern-day wild west train robberies), a crazy plan for world domination which involves human spiders and removing dates from all photos Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 16 Darnell Anderson (twitter.com/darnell_IRL) Zachary Burcar (twitter.com/burcarz) Nicki Wright (twitter.com/ohthatnicki) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea (NSFW): Books to read to your pets. Also: pet feminism and barbed genitalia, pets creating their own books (possibly with the aid of a Ouija board), crazy ways rich people pamper their pets Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 16 Darnell Anderson (twitter.com/darnell_IRL) Zachary Burcar (twitter.com/burcarz) Nicki Wright (twitter.com/ohthatnicki) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: to mess with friends who constantly post baby photos on social media by giving them vague, confusing comments/emojis which could be interpreted as either compliments or insults Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 15 Josh Bowab James Eliot (instagram.com/itsjimeliot) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: To bring back the XFL (Extreme Football League). Also: the XFL could be the concussion "fall guy" for the NFL, XFL team names. Note that this was recorded in 2016 (before the XFL came back briefly in 2020) Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 15 Josh Bowab James Eliot (instagram.com/itsjimeliot) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: a new form of cosmetic body modification where you intentionally give someone cauliflower ear and then use a cookie cutter mold to permanently shape the ear into an artistic shape Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 15 Josh Bowab James Eliot (instagram.com/itsjimeliot) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)
