    Oh.....as far as uses for old strings......cats LOVE to chase them. Cats don't see all that well but they see motion and will chase the string as it moves. One of my cats ends up sitting and waiting when I change strings. If I don't play with the string with her, she'll go after the new ones at the headstock if I have not yet cut them.......believe me....I'm quick to cut them.

    A bass E string makes a great poker for your bong. Cut it about 6 to 8 inches long and leave the ball end on it for something to hold onto. Clean it with alcohol.

    You can make one hell of a whip with old strings, especially with the ball ends attached.

    Old Strings

    Well, if you wanted to strangle someone, I imagine they would make excellent murder weapons, LOL.
