"When is eggplant ever a good idea?" - Tegan Steimle

The River Otter:
There are many times eggplant is a good idea. Here are some ideas for using your eggplant:
1. Put on some tiny wheels and you have your own "Eggplant-mobile" that could be a healthy alternative to the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
2. Throw it under an opponents tire during a bike race to ensure a win.
3. Carve it out. Now you have a bowl.
4. Carve it out. Now you have a boat.
5. Carve it out. Now you have a freaky Polly Pocket house.
6. A funny hat.
7. If you do improv, use it as a light bulb prop by holding it straight up above your head and opening your mouth and eyes wide while pointing your index finger in the air to show you have an idea.
8. A terrible hammer.
9. A fake baby if kept in a baby bjorn or stroller.
10. Hollowed out and filled with a message, then stopped up with a cork it could save your life on a desert island.
11. A percussion instrument (like maracas).
12. Catapult ammo.
13. Cut it up. Now you have a full Frisbee golf set.
14. Cut it up. Now you have a new set of coasters.
15. Cut it up. Now you can play Coaster Frisbee Golf with JC Martin.
16. A fake chocolate covered banana for a prank.
17. The leaves can be used for a medium sized fairy hat.
18. If sewn together, a very weird Halloween costume.

The Silver Fox:
Ummm...well....huh.  Good question.  A few weeks ago I received an eggplant through Bountiful Baskets and the only thing I could think of to do with it was to use it as a baseball bat...and it wasn't even very effective that way.
