"I will pay you a dollar NOT to eat that."

I'm sure you have heard of "Stuff on my cat."

Mary and I thought of something even BETTER.

Granted, what seems better at five in the morning on five hours of sleep does tend to not seem as great a few hours and a nap later, but still, this idea is going to catch on.

Stuff...wait for it...ON A LID.

Done.

Amazing.

So far we have "toppings on a lid." A magnificent work of modern art so tastefully (and I mean tastefully, I helped myself to some of Mary's creation once she was done and we had admired it for a few minutes) arranged out of Snickers pieces, Andies candies, mini-marshmallows, and cookies crumbs, using caramel drizzle as glue.

Some of our other genuis ideas included "tip jar on a lid," "muffin pack on a lid," "receipt tape on a lid," and "lighter on a lid."

Very few ideas are so good that they will change the way that we see things and think about things. It's not a stretch to say that one day we will refer to time as pre-stuff on a lid and post-stuff on a lid. It's well within the realm of possibilities.

But then again, this idea came after several cups of coffee and Mary asking me how much I would pay her to eat a ball of receipt paper, so maybe it's not a guaranteed success....
