Need project ideas using Alphanumeric and/or LCD displays

[Electric Rain]

Well I just got my Digi-Key Catalog in the mail the other day, and I'm very interested in their Alphanumeric LED displays and LCD modules. So I was wondering... can someone give me some ideas for projects that use Alphanumeric and/or LCD modules? They are pretty cool. I'd prefer some kind of game, and I'm guessing even though I don't have a PIC programmer, I'll have to get one if I want anything cool whatsoever. Anyway, can someone give me some ideas please? Thanks.
