You can’t believe everything you read on a laminated menu, but it says this restaurant in San Francisco invented the sushi boat delivery system in 1982.

Humans are mimics, that’s how most of us learn and thus survive. How can we mimic the success of sushi boat? Perhaps a dirt track with small trucks pulling wagons loaded with hamburgers? Perhaps sliders, those mini burgers, would be best.

Humans entertain themselves by putting things where they don’t belong. What could we bring to sushi boat that would entertain us? Rig a water skier behind a boat? Drop an RC shark in the water? Or a small version of the Sea Shepard that tries to block people from taking a sushi plate off the boat. What if, for a senior project, a student of architecture created a scale model of a waste water treatment plant and we pumped sewerage into the sushi boat river?

  2. Can the RC shark live on scale model human waste from the tiny sewer? that would solve everything.

  3. Never seen a sushi boat here. I guess if it’s that neat/good, it’ll eventually get here.
