I used to do a lot of stupid things. Sometimes it felt like I was actually ticking them off of some sadistic list, seeing just how stupid I could be before it all blew up in my face. Is this smart? Of course it's not. Why did I do it? Well, that's its own separate collaboration - and I'm keeping that one to myself for now.
I'm envisioning a digital, interactive book - cheeky up to the hilt, of course - documenting all the little ways in which one who enjoys torturing himself might go about doing so as efficiently and thoroughly as possible. From personal anecdotes to numbered points to tick off, from video clips of instruction for the more complicated maneuvers to a listen-and-repeat guide to insulting one's host in a myriad of different languages, who knows where it might lead? I like the idea of "guest contributors" who are "specialists in the field"; illustrated charts; maybe a theme song... a "Dear Abby" type section, perhaps?
Aside from being an amusing guidebook - tourism for the self-loathing - I think it could be an interesting foray into a constantly evolving "book" as well as a nice response to all those tomes telling us how to make ourselves into more perfect beings.
