Okay, hypothetical-ish question (it's sort of related to my work):

I have single unpaired gardening glove (the ugly ones you get at hardware stores and that people wear when spreading salt as well as gardening) and I don't want to throw it out: what can I do with it that would actually be useful?

Paint it black. Call it The Glove of Darth Vader (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Glove_of_Darth_Vader). Proceed to force choke people. :smallcool:

That, except I was thinking of mounting it with the following plaque: Here is the hand of Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Or, if it's a rubber glove, you could use it to cosplay as the engineer.

Keep it in your pocket, then when someone says something mildly insulting, feign outrage, pull it out, throw it at their feet and demand satisfaction.

Gardening.

I've had to do with only one gardening glove before. When pulling briers, dealing with blackberries, or other plants with thorns it makes things much easier if even one of your hands has armor of a sort so that you don't need to concentrate on placement of it as much.

Otherwise I like the Vader suggestion, but I doubt it would work for that.

Also may I ask how this is related to your work? If you don't want to answer feel please to ignore the question, it just piqued my curiosity.

I'm basically trying to figure out how not to end up throwing out a bunch of single gloves. I can't really go into more detail than that. I already have a suggestion, but I'm not sure my boss will go for it so I'm looking for alternate ideas.

You beat me to it...:smalltongue: Duelling glove!

Though, IMO, it's much more duel-provoking if you actually slap them with it...

Both are suitable, but I figured this was better for a garden glove.

Clearly you should put sequence on it and pretend you're Michael Jackson Reincarnated.

It would make a good asymmetric anime character apparel. For bonus points, wear a shirt with the other sleeve cut off or something.

I am disappointed that I am not the first person to make a Michael Jackson reference in this thread.

I, on the other hand, have no shame.

Is it decently heat proof? Use it as a pot holder... that way you retain full use of your fingers which makes it easier to carry/move things around but you don't burn your hand either. :smallsmile:

While gardening, one glove is usually better than none. Also, if you are anything like me, you'll lose more gloves sooner or later, so after a few years, you'll have a collection of single gloves and therefore always at least one glove for each side, even if they don't match.

go to a couple of garage sales, they're bound to have 1 glove. buy it on cheap, have 2 gloves. smack anyone who comments on fashion while you're gardening.

Yeah, I want one of those, provided making and owning one won't break any laws in my area. :smallamused:

What to do with one glove?

Go into the fight with just one, and tap to Royce Gracie because of a mount (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATRdW8qVcD8)?

This has probably already been said, but:

Slap people across the face with it and challenge them to a duel at high noon.

Dang it people, you already took the two best solutions. :smalltongue:

Fixed! :smallbiggrin: Maybe after stuffing it, sow a head made of yarn with button eyes (and maybe a sewn on smile) into the hole and give it to a young relative as a gift :smallsmile:

But, if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.

Cut the fingers off.

You now have a fingerless glove and some gloveless fingers.

(Come on guys! How come nobody has mentioned Banjo in this thread?)

If you have two single gloves, cut the fingers off one and attach them to the other for Banjuhlu
