Did you know how versatile the BBB is? You can roll it up and make a
telescope out of it, or a voice projection tube. Or you can open it half
way, put it on your head, and you've got a hat! Take it off your head and
flap it up and down (still half open) and make cawing noises and you've got
a bird. It makes a nice placemat. A well-worn copy can be used as a
doormat. Run it through a paper shredder and you've got confetti (note,
this only works once). Stuff it in your shirt and you've got makeshift
body armor.

What can you do with the BBB?

Well, if you put it on someone's chest before smashing them with a baseball
bat, it won't leave marks... ;)

If you're really damned smart, you can read it, and there's like, stuff in
there. I never figured out what it all was, though.. I just look at the
pretty pictures :)

The hardcover version is good for waking up the munchkin in the
group when he falls asleep during the RP heavy portions of the
game.

Roll it up, and it makes a good club fur use against unruly muchkin
players... works as a fly swatter, but the Shadowrun companion works
much better (smaller an more aerodynamic). In addition, If you open it
up, you can tear all those little things out and use as really pretty
wallpaper. :)

Roll it up and beat the dog with it. (JK)

Roll it up and beat rule mongers with or players that don't answer "It's
your action. What are you gonna do?"

Glue all the pages together and cut the center out for a picture frame.

Glue all the pages together except for the first 20 or so cut the center
out of the middle and have a secret place to hold any thing that fits.

I leave mine on the floor, and the cats use them to feel superior to the
carpet. They also keep the shelf and desk from getting lonely. (And they
are great for keeping the cats distracted when I want some peace and
quiet. (Now I just have to figure out how to Bob to stop using the rules
to Combat's detriment...)

It makes a great, albeit expensive, chew toy for your playful new puppy.

[ Warning: this may not be a suitable use if the copy you use doesn't
belong to you, as you may be forced to obtain a new one for the real
owner... this is especially difficult if the copy in question was
HARDBACK. ]

No No No, if you're going to use it in colorful and versatile fashion, at
least keep it in the Genre...

tear out the sections you don't like and give -that- copy to your new
players. GM censorship at its finest!!!

Slap it agains my head to get rid of silly ideas.
But its most usefull as a frisbie with a little duketape of course.
Burn it in a cold night and go buying another one to make fasa happy.
Put it under your monitor.
