Idea for a hipster restaurant:

BBQ, but the only wood for smoking is downed trees from hurricanes.  Make the name for good BBQ immediately after a hurricane, then just start ratcheting up prices as your wood supply dwindles and you become more exclusive.

For hipster cred, charge more for wood obtained from "classy" neighborhoods.

But what if someone came in and wanted to beat Pete's meat?  Would your wife be ok with that?

I always wanted to have a mail-order business selling cholesterol in those little single-serve ice cream tubs with the wooden spoon.  I figure that cholesterol makes everything else taste so good, a little tub of it should taste like pure love.

Those sticks are dry and give me the willies when I hold them. Similar to when people squeak styrofoam.

Once a guy at work admitted he couldn't touch cotton balls as the texture bothered him.  Naturally we put them on his work bench and he used pliers to move cotton balls.

Those wooden "spoons" make anything you eat with them taste like wood.  Not good.  Bleeeech!

My father & I were left handed. He & my mom had an art gallery/picture frame shop & in one corner setup a "Left-Handed" area. Some of it was just things like "Only left-handed people are in their right minds", but they also had some actual left-handed items like scissors, coffee mugs, etc. He also designed a left-handed monkey wrench, but never had it produced.

A pawn shop that deals in *strictly* in bartering.

Nothing has an expressed monetary value, just barter items for items. Will not accept live animals or perishable food, but everything else is on the table.

There is a 15 story abandoned hotel here in town. 

I want to buy it and set up a 15-story tall dystopian first-person shooter paintball arena. Move some walls, knock holes in walls, trash and old furniture everywhere. Make it a maze. Go in on the bottom floor on one end of the building and come out on the other end after having to traverse the entire building. One team trying to get to the finish and one team trying to stop them.

Halloween do a haunted theme. I think it would be epic.

Not sure why this hasn't been matched onto. This is fantastic. Like a Disney cruise except you have to sign a heart condition waiver to get on board. There are certain decks that have a lower "activity rate" than others so you can still have lunch without a severed head falling off of a wall.
