Alcohol

David! So random you just posted Joy Divide because a friend of mine last week told me about them and to remember the name I kept calling them "Happy Subtraction." Just thought I'd share the coincidence.

Piggy-backing on what Jocelyn said: Whenever I can't think of the tiniest of ideas, I sit (most of the time with a magnum of wine) and brainstorm the most ridiculous scenarios I can imagine...ever. They can be sexual, or a wouldn't-it-be-funny-if-someone-did-this type of thing, or hilarious situations you hope would never happen but it would be funny if they did, etc. Luckily for me, the more wine I drink, the more ridiculous I become. As far as I'm concerned, no idea during the brainstorming process is taboo. I never give a crap what anyone is going to think because it doesn't matter--the point of brainstorming is to discover a creative concept and work from there. Also, the more ridiculous the idea the better (in my opinion) because when you file down the absurdity factor you're still left with something a little risque and exciting.
