Here’s the scoop.  
I will be selling the laundromat that I have owned for the past 9 years. Over those years I have collected a vast array of…err… hooter hoops. For a more concise description, wires from underwire bras. They tend to fall out of and end up with the lint. I have big ones, tall ones, short ones and little ones. They have yet to be declared legal tender but I thought I better save them just in case. I would like to here some creative ideas from you folks. Thanks in advance.

You could make an android with “hooter hoop” hands, a la Edward Scissorhands.

Oh. . .you wanted _helpful_ suggestions. I’m afraid I don’t have any of those at the moment. Sorry.

Make a rollercoaster for mice. Endless mice-y fun. Look at their little faces as they sail through the air!

Got a glue gun? You could make Christmas decorations like McCauley Culkin did with the fish hooks in “Home Alone.”

I would think the answer is obvious…find a desolate stretch of desert roadway and open the “World’s Only Hooter Hoop Museum”. God only knows the “World’s Largest Ball of Twine” rest stop could use the competition.
