I'm Josh Millard, and these are my bad ideas. Some of them even get a DIDIT tag. If you decide to do one, let me know!

poopetry.tumblr.com

A blog devoted solely to alterations of classic poetry to include a lot more of the word “poop” and scatalogical references in general.  Setting aside the rights issues involved, would be a gimme as a page-a-day calendar in the long run.

For example, with half-hearted apologies to William Carlos Williams:

I have eaten
the poops
that were in
the toilet

and which
you were probably
saving
for flushing

Forgive me
they were delicious
so brown
and so firm

UPDATE:

Fuck it, this one is happening. Go follow Poopetry, I dare you.

Automatic Madlibs

A web app or greasemonkey script that uses natural language processing to turn any webpage into a madlib. 

Using a collection of syntactic-analysis heuristics, Automatic Madlibs parses the content of a given url, identifies specific parts of speech, and replaces words with their category prompts, prompting the user to enter nouns and verbs and adjectives and so forth to rewrite the webpage.

So far example:

Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

…becomes…

[greeting] to Wikipedia, the [adjective] [noun] that anyone can [verb].

…becomes…

Holla back to Wikipedia, the fugly porcupine that anyone can poop. 5 notes link

Sparkle Motion

Non-toxic, digestive-track-safe sparkles that you can sprinkle on your food in order to have shiny bowel movements, if you’re the sort of person who likes to check on the kids after you drop them off at the pool.

Basically it’s pretty much just Blingee for your poop.
