I have a drawer full of garments that I don't know what to do with. Throwing them away, burning them, using them to clean the toilet, etc. seems to typical and anticlimactic.

I kind of want to have something to keep. Preferably something small. Something I could show off and use as a conversation piece. Any ideas?

Decorate them for all the different seasons and holidays, then hang them from a flagpole outside!!!

Cut them in loooong strips about 4 inches wide. Wrap them neatly around an empty toilet paper roll. Set them up on a banister, a coffee table, (or in your bathroom) with some fancy framed words behind them:

"Holy sh__! Anti-Mormon Toilet Paper!"

Or

Stretch one of the shirts over a thin square of plywood, draw a target on it, and hang it up as a dart board.

Or

Pre-1990 joke-- Take a perm. red marker, and draw a blood streak around the color of the shirt, and one across the stomach. Then in black marker over the chest, write "Penalties, Shmenalties!" and wear it around the house, or even around town, if you're feeling frisky.

Or

Frame it like suggested above, but write the word "Mormon" on the front. Then ex it out, and write "Mason" just below it.

Take em' over to Burning Man and follow Melissa's suggestions.
You'll be the life of the party.

T/Y. I'm starting to wonder if I might have anger issues though :)

Tape them in a spread eagle position in the center or a busy road so every one has to run over them. For fun pick a spot where you can watch with binoculars and see how long it takes a priestly sort to stop and remove them.

Either a busy road, or the parking lot of an LDS church...

Love the idea of putting them on a well traveled road.
Be sure to use quick setting epoxie to bond them down.

Cut out the markings and properly dispose of those sacred markings by burning them, or flushing them down the toilet.

Just kidding.

Throw them away, burn them, wear them for all to see, wax the car--I don't give a damn.

They're great for cleaning hardwood floors. The marks really get into the grooves.

Depending on the fabric, they make great cleaning rags. That's what I did with mine.

Tie-dye them and keep wearing them.

...the less significance they'll have in your life. Sure, some grand act might be cathartic, but so can simply treating them like the trash they are. Into the bin, walk away, close the door on that part of your life.
