    what are some other temporary/fun uses for a yoyo that you've found? this thought came to me when my friends have been stealing my yoyo while we play catan and we use it as the robber.

    I do chain maille, you can see it here and here.

    I've seen yoyo (halves) used as shot glasses and ketchup containers. I've use it once to literally break the ice off a car.

    Cat toy.

    You can also open a beer or beerlike container with one.

    Isn't that what the wet whistle was partially designed for?

    "yoyo (halves) used as ... ketchup containers."

    Are you sure they weren't just trying the Catsup mod?
    The Catsup Mod - YouTube

    I've used old imperial halves as "feet" for small boxes/chests.
    When I see people who are sad my first impulse is to hug them,
    but I guess that's "creepy," and I should "put some clothes on".

    Nicely done.

    I'm sure most folks on this forum have seen this, but just in case,

    At least 15% of what I say is true.

    Yeah, my TFL makes a great bottle opener and everyone who watches me open it up always gets excited.
