What do I do with 200 rubber lizards? I just moved into a new office[More:] and found, in a desk drawer, five bags of about 50 small rubber lizards each. Apparently these were left over from a marketing promotion. What should I do with them?

So far I have:
# Stuck one in the black folder whenever I pay a bill at a restaurant.
# Left them in friends' houses in places they are unlikely to be discovered.
# Cut them into representative parts and stuck on display tape.
# Sent them through inter-office mail to coworkers in far-away places.

I never seem to find glue, or I'd make a frankenlizard.

Do you have a window overlooking the street, that you can open? They'd be fun to drop on random pedestrians below during your lunch break.

That would be great! Unfortunately I'm in the middle of a one-story building.

I should note that my office is not particularly fun-loving.

Make a lizard wreath! Or, send them to me and *I* will make you a lizard wreath. Tis the season!

Buy 200 plastic snakes. Snakes eat lizards. No more lizards.

Or: leave them on top of mailboxes; stick them in video return slots; give them to small crying children; hand one to your busdriver.

Coincidentally, just last night I went to a craft store with my son, who had to get something for a school project. All of the halloween stuff was 90% off, so he bought a huge bag of big plastic spiders for 35 cents. We went outside and put a spider on the roof of every car in the parking lot (this was totally his idea, I just went along with it). Then we sat in my car and listened to people scream, then mumble, then snicker. It was a freaking riot.

I would put the lizards in trees in a park or other public place, and then watch people noticing them.

Build a christmas tree out of lizards.

Make little crucifixes out of ice lolly sticks, nail them to it and call them jesus lizards.

Lizards in a drawer!

It doesn't have the same ring, I guess.
