Add some ferrets and duct tape, and you have hours of fun. Plus, the ferrets would probably help you eat the extra Pringles. ---

As much as I love David Tennant I couldn’t stick with it long enough, I couldn’t understand a word anyone else was saying. ---

> [@Wallflower](#): > > Back in the day (mid- 70’s?), my mother would use them as molds to make pillar candles. That worked out quite well, since if the candle didn’t want to come out of the mold, it was easy enough to just tear it away. I have used the cans to make candles too. The cardboard had a spiral seam on the inside that showed up on the side of the candle. I put glue on that spiral and then glitter and it was a nice effect. Back in my “cash poor college student days”, I put contact paper on 4 cans and used them for legs on a “coffee table” (a packing crate lid that I varnished). ---

> [@belladonna](#): > > When I was a girl I had a few on my dresser, wrapped in pretty contact paper, that I kept my hair ribbons, bands, and barrettes in. That is such a cool idea! I did the same thing with the contact paper, but made banks out of them. ---

> [@descamisado](#): > > Well, the fleshlight had to have had a prototype. So, if you’re the “DIY” type anyway, it’s just another project. **Acid Lamp** once taught me that it can be an improvised dildo mold with the aid of alginate to cast the mold and sculpey or plaster to fill the mold. 😛 ---
