Remember the movie Twister? There was an outdoor mobile made of cans...Pepsi, I think. Maybe you could come up with a unique decorative way to use them...
I always laugh when I see the quilt pattern The Drunkard's Path...I have visions of a wife in a prairie town, watching her A wandering back from a local saloon, staggering and swaying and she created that pattern to commemorate his lack of straightness...perhaps you could hang all of them in a tree...Call it The Husband Memorial or something!
Bad, Irene, BAD!
