Back in the day, I used to watch Animaniacs from time to time and my favorite segment was called Good Idea/Bad Idea. The segment was just 30 seconds or so of simply animated (you guessed it!) good ideas and bad ideas. Some of my favorites were:
Good idea: Having breakfast served to you in bed.
Bad idea: Having tennis balls served to you in bed.
Good idea: whistling while you work.
Bad idea: whistling while you eat.
Good idea: playing the accordion at a polka festival.
Bad idea: playing the accordion on the bus (or anywhere else).
Good idea: doing your own yard work.
Bad idea: doing your own dental work.
Good idea: playing cops and robbers in the park.
Bad idea: playing cops and robbers in the bank.
Good idea: dressing up for Halloween as a pirate.
Bad idea: dressing up for Halloween as a piņata.
When I started writing this post, I intended to make up a few of my own Good ideas/Bad ideas, but that ain't happenin' today (and it's probably better that way).
Here are couple I remember:
Good idea: Finding Easter eggs at Easter.
Bad idea: Finding Easter eggs at Christmas.
Good idea: Stopping to smell the roses.
Bad idea: Stopping to hug the roses.
Good idea: Ordering a chili dog to go.
Bad idea: Ordering a chili dog that makes you go.
I read this post (and the comments) outloud to Andrew. We both laughed outloud. I even got tears in my eyes.
