Set it on a pole in the yard and decorate it like a snowman’s head. Put a Walt Disney T-Shirt on it. ---

Hire Johhny Depp to build a canon and let 'er rip. You’ll either get your ice cubes back in their original form, or get to enjoy a summer blizzard. Oh, it’ll cosy you around $2 million. ---

Hire Johhny Depp to build you a huge canon. Put in the ice block and light the fuse. Have a few thousand of your buds rud around with solo cups to to catch the original cubes. Gonna cost you around $2 million or so. ---

Don’t bother with Depp; just get some black powder (say a pound for around 20 bucks) and some fuse (say around 3 bucks) and have some fun. Blowing crap up is always a fun way to spend an afternoon and with a block of ice you can let nature handle the clean-up. That 60 Caddy took us forever and some parts still turn up now almost 40 years later. We did use a helluva lot more than a pound though. And a lot more than just black powder. ---
