no clever title here

okay, this is random idea. no concept, it might just be funny. but i'd like develop some sort of concept for it before i do it.
simple: run a line from third floor rooms on each side of my dorm, and hang something from the line.
>idea: underwear/undergarments from people all over the dorm.
>use: strong rope or wire (electrical wire?) + clothpins or paperclips?
>sign: it would have to be water proof and tear proof and non-offensive enough that it wont get taken down right away.

>sort of different idea: use that space- visible to so many people- as an area for an installation or just to hang a sculptre, what if I don't hang clothing... i hang...
-cardboard cutouts of something?
-of people? i have britney spears and shakespear

signs:
-surprising facts:
did you know: every 7 seconds... etc etc
- hang the sign in segments, in between the segmants hang peices of something related to the subject
-like people who die of hunger and hang leftover food
-people who work in sweatshops and hang clothing made in sweatshops
-NOLA? DID you know: it tooks FEMA # days to etc/ #,000 people died / etc.
-hang with clothing, mardigras.

.... more to come. i like this idea.

update on this idea:
i just mentioned this idea in the room to eli and shriane, and shriane came up with a really good idea-
steal a one pair of underwear from many people in the dorm and put them up there as an april fools joke.
-write "april fools" on the underwear in black tape
-put up early april 1st!
>how to get underwear? use roomates against each other! (i hope no in the dorm reads this)- ask a roomate to help me get his/her roomates underwear for a practical joke, then ask the other roomate also.
use either my room and tony's room- or daz's room and third floor lounge or bobby/eric.
