150 Uses for the Neopian Times


by playmobil_is_my_life

--------

NEOPIAN TIMES - This week, the Neopian Times celebrates its 150th issue! YAY! =tosses everyone a party hat= To honor and respect this special occasion, I decided to write an article on what all you can do with your copy of the Neopian Times, hence the title of this article. I bet you thought the Neopian Times was just for reading, eh? Nope, there are tons more things that you can do with it. We have a lot of ideas to list, so without further ado, let's begin:

#150 Roll it up to swat those pesky Vernaxes.

#149 Paste it to your wall to use as a dart board.

#148 Use issues of the Neopian Times as wallpaper.

#147 Instead of buying an expensive Jazzmosis poster, draw your own on an old issue!

#146 Once you finally get into the Neopian Times, shred an issue and use it as confetti to celebrate.

#145 Make about a hundred of those "Don't waste paper" and "Save the Trees" posters to put about Neopia.

#144 Didn't get in to this week's issue? Use a copy as a bigger tissue.

#143 Shred an issue to make a papier mache white Weewoo.

#142 Roll up an issue and play Whack-A-Sibling! v #141 Tape a bunch of continued series and try to pass it off as a novel. Heh.

#140 Buy old issues and try to sell them as this week's.

#139 Tear up pieces and feed them to your Goldy.

#138 Use it as a fan on those super-humid days.

#137 An issue of the Neopian Times comes in handy when your Neopet is litter box-training its petpet.

#136 Make a paper hat to shield your face from the sun.

#135 Cut out letters to make ransoms notes: "i ToOk your FUzzLe, MeEt mE by THE… trEe"

#134 Tape an issue to your neohome window to keep the sun from warming the house.

#111 Make a papier mache version of notorious Dr. Sloth, in hopes of being redeemed worthy enough for you to use his image on the Neoboards!

#110 Maybe instead of fighting with a sword, Jeran should consider a rolled up copy of the Neopian Times. I'm sure that would stop Kass.
