7. As a washrag.
   
8. Sew up 2 sides, put a bottle of Texas Barbecue sauce and top with a rope ribbon - Makes a great Texas gift! [But not the best punctuation and capitalization skills.]

16. As an ear warmer.
    
17. As a lampshade.
    
18. Tie one around your car's antenna so your fellow Texans can easily find you at the tailgate party. [Except that everyone else did this too, so you're no better off than before.]

27. Wrap ice in it to stay cool.
    
28. As a bathing suit top.
    
29. Make a Texas bib by tying a corner on each side of your overall straps.
    
30. Use as wrapping for a Texas present.

Packaging fun from the top of a Stonyfield Farm (http://www.stonyfield.com/) (you can see it on their website) yogurt container: picture of a dairy farmer and a cow. "His heart is in his work. His milk is in our yogurt." Um, ew. At least it wasn't a female farmer, I guess.

I'm wondering where they get all the milk from, if they have only hims producing it.

(And I'm relying on kosher certification to keep his heart out of the dairy products. I knew it would come in useful for something :-)

Is it not a depiction of the Texas Flag? I certainly wouldn't want to use an American Flag in most of these ways...

[magid.livejournal.com]

It is indeed a depiction of the Texas flag. In all its glory, as it were.

Only as a bathing suit top? I'm sure that, given a large enough bandana or a small enough person, you could also wear one as a bathing suit bottom :)

They also forgot, "Soaked in vinegar, makes a decent breathing protection device when The Man launches tear gas at you."

Plus having it as a bathing suit bottom makes it much more gender neutral. :-)

They forgot a lot of things: tie the corners together and use as a bag for your belongings as you get the heck out of Texas, for instance. Or, to blindfold people with suspicious surnames as you take them away. Or, wave surrender at the Alamo.

Heh.

Or, wave surrender at the Alamo.

HA HA HA HA HA!
