Title: Dumb Business Ideas
Post by: steve dave on August 21, 2009, 11:11:27 AM
So, there's this guy in Omaha that I am connected with through people.  He just bought a machine for $100k.  It is one of those claw machines like you see at Truck Stops or whatever with the stuffed animals and junk inside.  The difference is, his machine has live lobsters in it.  Like, it has water half way up on the inside.  It costs two dollars to run the claw and, if you catch a live lobster, the bar it's at will cook it up for you.  He has to keep it stocked with lobsters himelf and maintain the machine.  The bar it's at is a sports bar with chairs on rollers and keno for f^ck sakes.  Anyone else have any good stories of retards and their money?

When the claw comes down and grabs the lobster it will probably crush it...

Or at least I hope it does because that guy sounds like a complete dumbass.

Then I'm going to make a call PETA.

clawing for lobsters sounds like fun.  i'd prolly do it if i was drunk and could win a stuffed animal or something instead of the lobster.

Pretty much would make a killing on that machine in aggieville just for the comedy of having a pet lobster to drink with you all night.

  He just bought a machine for $100k. 

I would say that this is not a good investment IMO.  Maybe $5,000 at the most.  Not seeing how fast you can make up 100 grand plus keeping it stocked with good quality lobsters in the middle of America.
