Red Alert! What Should I Do With My Devils' Giveaway Towel?

I have this free towel, you see. I don't know what to do with it. Will you help me?
I went to Game 2 in Newark, where they handed out these awesome towels that nobody wanted to wave. I found several of them littered around Prudential Center after the game, even though the Devils won. There was one conveniently placed in the urinal that I used before leaving the building, several littering the NJ Transit lines at Penn Station in the heart of bustling (hah) Newark, etc.
But I still have mine. I found it underneath my cat over the weekend, which might have been a solid place to keep it considering she's getting up there in years and she likes to forget where her litter box is located. That's no fun, though, right? It's much more entertaining to open up suggestions to you guys, right?!
So here's what we're going to do, then. I've had a few suggestions from friends and other writers, such as: line the litter box of the aforementioned cat with it, throw it off of a bridge, donate it to a homeless man in Atlantic City, burn it in effigy, etc.
I know we can do better than that. Come up with suggestions in the comments, but keep them free of bodily fluids and make them so they can be viewed on film. Rec the ones you really like. I'll pick the one that receives the most recs and I'll capture the act on video. So, again: keep the suggestions decent. Make them so I'm able to put them on video here on the site.
Help me out. What will be the fate of my Devils "rally" towel?

Ok I think go one step beyond setting it afire. Get a thing of lighter fluid, make a stencil and burn a Flyers symbol into it.

I don’t know how to make a stencil, but you’re the design guy….

stero would work better b/c lighter fluid would soak up too much to make the logo
Most practical but not as fun would be to use a soddering iorn

Use it to dab any cuts you give yourself while shaving your playoff beard for good luck (a la Fat Marty B). The blood will blend right in.
Either that or let your cat keep it. She found it and she likes it.

nono, travis, you are jumping the gun on this one.
I’m assuming you might try to make a trip for a second round playoff game (depending of course on where it is) and hopefully, you will collect more memoribilia. If you don’t, well, you can always secure some memoribilia right?
Anyway, the point is that if the Flyer continue to advance, you’ll continue to collect stuff. Then after they are finally eliminated or god forbid win the cup, you can then have an entire ceremony of disposing of the stuff of the vanquised foes.
Course, you could just emblazon the flyer logo onto it via the burning method, i like that idea too.

Maybe tie all the memorabilia into a chain, draw a Flyers logo in lighter fluid and extend the fluid across the towels, then burn them?

Bring it to the Caps Verizon centre and place it on a seat and see if its easy to fool a bandwagon fan to wave a red towel without knowing who or what they are rooting for.
Thats if the Caps can win a game!

I’d keep it for posterity’s sake—maybe frame it—so every time I’m feeling down about the Flyers, I can look up at that bastard and laugh my ass off.

I had this idea while driving home just now:
Go to KFC, buy a Double Down, wrap the towel around it, stick it in a padded envelope, and mail it to Martin Brodeur (or the Prudential Center).

Winner winner, chicken dinner.
Anyone tried the Double-Down yet?

Honestly, would you eat this?
The nutrition facts aren’t the best, as you can imagine. The Double Down weighs in at 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and — hold on — 1,380 milligrams of sodium. KFC offers a grilled version that mysteriously is just as bad and has more sodium: 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and 1,430 milligrams of sodium.
I like chicken. I like cheese. I like bacon. I do not like all three zapped in a microwave and huddled in unholy quorum with “special sauce.”

I love KFC….love it, and I love chicken, bacon and cheese…and even with that all said, I would never, ever eat that. Ever.
Ok maybe I would if I was stranded on an island by myself with nothing else, then I would eat it as that would most definitely kill me sooner than just starving to death.
Can't think of something catchy to say here...I suck.
I hate KFC normally because of past experiences. But yes, I would eat that.

The double-down would have less carbs and more protein = win.

Yeah, but…
After ringing up the order (the sandwich alone was $5.49, the same price as a six-piece meal), it was time to taste it. We did a quick survey of the restaurant and found that no one else was enjoying the new item — apparently we would be the first for this particular KFC. By the time the Double Down made it back to the Times, the bottom of the bag was soaked with grease.
While we’re not food critics here on Comments Blog, we will say the Double Down did go all the way down, though not an easy task, but it required lots of water. Sadly, within 10 minutes the sandwich caused some physical distress — what more would you expect after eating two fried chicken breasts, a sauce that we still can’t identify, a mix of cheeses that we’re not comfortable confirming as pepper jack or Monterey Jack, and bacon that got a quick zap in the microwave?

But just listing fat and calories isn’t really the whole story with any food…. That’s like complaining about peanut butter being high in fat and ignoring it’s nutritional value; people miss the point because they only look at numbers.
Given the choice between the two, I’m willing to believe the Big Mac has a smaller chance of making me sick, even though they’re both pretty bad for you.

I do wanna try it though. And at 540 calories, thats not too bad (the hot pockets chicken bacon cheese is 640 for two)

The whole idea of it is pretty bad, but I will try it.

Ohh yeah, Im not arguing that. I’m 5’8", 175lbs. and I eat McDonalds and KFC and Taco Bell, etc. Now Im not in the best shape in the world, but when you look at some of the people in those stores, its easy to conclude that the stuff isnt healthy. But as long as you make some sort of exercisal(not a word, i know) effort, its possibe to eat this junk.

I like the word but do you know who Jimm Fixx is? He was the famous distance runner/ fitness guru who used to carbo load all the time. He died of massive heart attack at 52.. In the autopsy finding it said his one of his coronary arteries was 95% occluded with fat. Do your body even more of a favor…exercise and eat right. Also, you will get much more out of your exercise by eating right.
I actually have tried it. All the guys at my office bought one each and we all tried it a couple days after it came out. In my opinion, it really wasn’t that good, but everyone else seemed to really like it. The only shitty part was that we had a wait for the crapper within 15 minutes of finishing it since we only have two stalls and 6 guys tried it. I literally almost crapped my pants.

Is it from the game 5 shutout? If so, you might want to keep it… It could be good luck, a la LegionofDoom’s lucky puck.
Yeah, I missed that. I was thinking that he went to both games, but I completely missed that sentence about Game 2.

not to bite too hard off of KD, but:
1) get a wire hanger
2) shape said hanger into flyers symbol
3) heat it with a blowtorch or electric range until extremely hot
4) brand the towel with the flyers logo
5) slug back bourbon and laugh. you’ve earned it
