45.  Do not allow people to wear flip-flops while sitting on the sofa.

46.  Start a fansite for people to discuss everything that happens at your house, what painting they think you'll put above the mantel, what color you'll paint the nursery, how they noticed the new felt on the pool table in your game room, whether you colored the water blue in your toilets.  They can post random pictures of places in your house and have others guess which room they were in when they took the pictures.  They can discuss the quality of the meals you serve, which direction you might build on, and how your house compares to a house near Kansas City, a house near St. Louis, and four houses in Orlando.

47.  Send mom and dad to live in Georgia, but leave the kids at home.

56.  Put a gazebo in your front yard instead of the back yard.

57.  Put lockers at the front door, and make guests check all their loose items.

58.  Get rid of all bath towels; install a big fan outside the shower and charge $3 to use it.

59.  Buy the house down the street.  Spend millions to fix it up.  Then leave it vacant.

The monster has always been here; you just woke it up.

29. Revised:  Take away your kid's Sit-n-Spin and replace it with a $7 million water ride takes you and your family on a not-to-be-missed river adventure where passengers/ family armed with super-soaker water guns wage an all-out water war on the neighbors and postman.

71.  Greet each day with a salute to veterans.

72.  Give folks the choice to sit backwards on the toilet for a whole new ride experience (There!  I finally got a TNT reference in there.).

73.  Install an intercom system in your minivan, but distort the speakers so you can't understand what the driver is saying over it.
