I won some giant shoes

Yesterday I won a pair of shoes in a contest held by Microsoft, but there's a catch: I can't wear them.

A friend referred me to a LeBron James-themed contest where you can win 'A pair of Nike Zoom shoes' or 'A Zune with LeBron's playlist on it.' So I fill out the entry form and see a screen that says, 'Hey, you won Nike Zoom Shoes from Microsoft. Check your email for confirmation.' I got excited, because I could use some new shoes.

Then I get an email saying, 'You won a pair of size 16 shoes signed by LeBron James.'

Ah, crap. What the hell am I going to do with a pair of giant shoes?

I've got over two and a half months until they arrive, so I have time to figure out what I'll do with them. Here's my current List of Things To Do With a Giant Pair of Shoes:
  • Wear my regular shoes, then put on the giant shoes for extra shoe protection
  • Raise children inside of them
  • Climb inside of one of them and hop around the Mushroom Kingdom.
  • Sell them on eBay to someone silly enough to want to pay for another person's giant autographed shoes
Do YOU have any suggestions?
