I am a fount of ideas. Although I have no practical experience in business, many of my best new concepts are in the area of new business development. Since my genius has been systematically ignored, I’m going to share some of the best with the Group Mind out there. I have faith that some of you are future Captains of Industry who can take these gems and make them into beautiful tiaras of wealth. Share and enjoy!

1. I read years ago that some of the sharpest increase in tobacco abuse was in children using smokeless tobacco. Obviously this is a social ill we must strive to defeat, and the private sector is the place to do it. My solution: kid-friendly, fun nicotine patches for kids who need to quit the habit. Flintstones vitamins, Yu Gi Oh characters, Disney stuff. Make the patch fun, and you’ll remove that childish hunger for chaw!
   
2. Firearms ownership isn’t nearly as popular as it should be in this great country. Especially the younger set are left out; they think it’s boring just because they’ve never experienced the raw joy of a .357 bucking and sparking in your hand as it fills a target with lead. My solution: A new, hip gun magazine for young people on the move. I want to call it BANG!. Sort of a Details or Maxim vibe, celebs, cute girls, emphasis on fun. It’s a huge win.
   
3. Jack Daniels Fruit Rollups.
   
4. Blue Velvet: The Musical.. ON ICE!. Just imagine. The ice is quiet and empty as the theme music slowly swells. Then, out of one corner comes a bloody ear on skates. How can anyone resist?
   
5. “Steps”, the bar for AA people. It’ll be crowded, smoky, full of red-faced jerks, and sell overpriced drinks in bottles. Just no alcohol. I figure I can franchise this in any town that has a TGI Fridays or a Bennigan’s.

No need to pay me for these. Just remember: I was the spark that started your flame.
