Now this doesn't just come from the fact that they are from a fairly awesome musical - Avenue Q, which has such fantastic songs as If You Were Gay, Everyone's a Little Bit Racist, The Internet Is for Porn and You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love). It is because their entire role in the show is simply to suggest bad ideas to other characters.
Can you imagine how useful it would be to have a bad idea bear saying "You should definitely do that thing you're about to do" when you're about to do something that is clearly a bad idea but you haven't noticed that yet? Instant understanding that THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!! It probably wouldn't stop me or anything, but at least I'd go into it knowing that it will be what many people like to think of as 'a learning experience' and be better prepared for all the consequences.
This thought occurred because I did something phenomenally silly recently that people thought would be fun to let me do while they watched and laughed - thanks guys - and then told me afterwards, "But I thought you knew what you were doing." And now I probably won't be able to go there for a couple of months.
As I said, I'd probably have done it anyway, but I would now be less annoyed with my friends.
