I'd go with Bloody Stupid Johnson, but possibly this isn't architecture enough.

2

u/The_Gypsy_Smyth 9h ago

When did that ever stop B. S. Johnson?? A pipe organ is not, technically, architecture.

1

u/tenebrigakdo 6h ago

It is still more architecture-adjacent compared to lemon grenades. Similarly, a bathroom is not technically architecture.

2

u/The_Gypsy_Smyth 6h ago

You may be right about the lemon grenades. However, I will argue heavily about the bathroom statement. There are Greek and roman baths, The hammam, the Victorian Turkish bath, and likely so many other examples across culture and time. And this does not even begin to touch on ones which I have seen, and had to draw floor plans for. Admittedly, lots of modern architecture is bland and very copy paste in appearance, but it is still technically architecture (even if it is a crime against aesthetics).

1

u/tenebrigakdo 3h ago

I think it was more a water installation project in that case than an architectural one. However you make a good point about the baths.

I'm holding a memo from the President, and it turns out that soylent green is... let's see here... doubling in price. Now listen up: I don't care how good people tastes. This stuff's costing me more than lobster, so we're going back to fishsticks.

Nonsense, you're Life! If you wasn't, everything would just stay the same.

a lemon isn't naturally occurring and is a hybrid by cross breeding a bitter orange and a citron, which means life never gave us lemons; we invented them all by ourselves

Great thing is you can make both because limoncello uses the rinds while lemonade uses the juice.

Here’s a wild one. Make lemonade. It’s delicious. I did it once because I ran out of sugar and it was so good. It ends up tasting like an interesting iced tea. It’s really good. You have to use real maple syrup though.
