This is possibly a ridiculous question, but: I got nice new towels for Christmas (yay!). Is there any reason to do anything with my sad old towels other than just put them in the trash?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like to keep old towels around to mop up icky spills with. And for when I'm dying my hair.
Today I have: taken cough syrup and proceeded to sit on my butt not doing anything rpoductive but also not coughing, so that's a win.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Old towels are also good for drying off pets.

Cut some up for dust rags. And ditto what everyone else suggested. Old towels are good for messes because you can just toss them if the mess is too yetchy.
Allyson, offer them sugar.
Laundry done. I need to clean now. And iron because for some stupid reason, my pants got all twisted up and now need ironing. Bah. I'll vacuum first, so I don't end up having to defur the pants too (my ironing board sits 5 inches off the floor. )

Now tagless for your comfort.
Jesse, how sad are the old towels? Homeless shelters can usually use towels that aren't on their last legs.

Also animal shelters.
I watched the Bears actually win a game and had fun watching my cat chew on the ribbon she pulled from the tree. Is that an accomplishment-filled day?

The Chicago Bears? A football game? Aw crap it must be the apocalypse.

They finally managed to win two games in a row, for the first time this season! And, best of all, Devin Hester got two touchdowns, one as an offensive player and one on a return.

Heh. That means the Saints lost.
I read a really depressing article about the crap that Chicago fans gave New Orleans fans at the playoff game last year. All kinds of Katrina-related stuff.

The ones I'm going to get rid of are on their last legs. I can't even remember when I got them. Trash they are! I don't have that much storage space that I'm going to keep them for cleaning.
