I have run out of ideas

When I started this blog, my goal was to spread all the delicious knowledge that was compressed in my average sized head (Okay, I'll admit, it's a little big). However, I have found that I have run out of ideas. I just don't know what to write about.

That is why I need your help, yes you, the reader. I have some preliminary ideas, story starters, that I want you to vote on. The winner will become a full article. You won't really win anything besides the joy of reading my article. I will probably forget to even mention your contribution.

Idea #1 - Alternate endings to the Back to The Future Trilogy.
Despite being part of one of my favorite movie franchises, I have always hated Back to The Future III. This is mostly due to the setting. I really, really, hate the old west. My possible substitution would be a film involving Doc Brown's days as a college professor where he befriended a young prodigy named Egon Spengler.

Idea #2 - Off screen sitcom interactions.
Every time I watch a popular sitcom like "Home Improvement" or "Friends" I like to imagine the events that occur off screen. Like the times that Wilson, the neighbor on "Home Improvement" molested the young Taylor boy, causing him to turn all goth and emo as a teen. Or, all the time Chandler Bing and Joey hooked up on "Friends."

Idea #3 - Alternative Majors
I attend The University of Massachusetts, which has a "BDIC" program that let's you design your own major. This possible article would show how to creatively combine courses to create majors like "Necromancy," "Jedi Studies," and "Porn Director."


So tell me which idea you think will make the best new article by commenting on THIS article. Also, feel free to tell me how much I suck at all this.

Mark-
I think all the ideas are great. However I don't think that Wilson would have done that to poor Marky Taylor. My vote is for Back to the Future.
