When we're not filming or waving them about aimlessly in our backyards, what do we do with them?

What have you used a stunt sabre for apart from rotoscoping or anything of the sort?

Me:
Make-shift TV remote.
Back scratcher.
Brother beater.

Seconded.

If you have a light-up one, keep it near your computer so when you go to bed later than everyone else in your house, you don't have to wake them up by turning on lights.
