Dryer lint, what is it good for?
1. Making fire place sticks

2. Somehow you can make playdoh.

3. Housefires

4. How can I make it good to chuck at conservatives?

4. This is going to crack you up
but my 80something grandmother-in-law uses it as pillow stuffing! She is an old fashioned penny pincher and when she runs out of batting for pillows, she uses dryer lint.

We don't keep any pillows she makes for us.

9. How can you make it good to chuck at conservatives?
Two choices -

1. Encase it in plaster.

2. Wrap in dog poo.

Pretty much useless against conservatives when used by itself. Kinda like Tom Daschle...

14. Some People Use It As "Filler" In Hamburger Helper Meals...
it's a no-fat option that helps to stretch the family food budget.
