I'm by no means an expert on American elctrical systems, but you could do it the way you described(but DON'T). It will work but it would be dangerous and it would surprise me a lot if not illegal. You will need a switch that makes it impossible to run any current out on the line. You'll also need a proper intake, (ok here is my english a bit challenged but in Sweden we talk in terms of male and female connections, I believe you get without further explanation) The intake should be the male kind making the socket out from the generator a female one, this way you can never get any easy touched electrical surfaces. You will also need your own separate grounding point. Making the securityground on things work and the "groundfaultbreakers" (if you have any) work.
This might seem a bit costly and it is (been there...) but it's for your own your familys and the lineworkers security so it doesn't really matter if illegal or not(Though getting sued in the US seems no good)
