A couple of things that I've been working on that you may want to try 
are All-terain Vehicles, Farm Tractors, and Monster Trucks. Geos make 
great knobby tires, so... if you every do a gig at that Truck and 
Tractor Pull or that Homne and Farm Show, you're set!

There also has been some experimenting with turning the geos inside 
out. When inflated you get either a mouse head with ears or 
(depending on how much you inflate) a cat head with smaller ears.

Ralph Dewey's latest book "Dewey's Balloon Anomalies" explores some 
of these uses with sculpture like the cat/Devil head, sumo wrestler, 
cherub, Santa head, etc. He also suggest using a geo for the mane of 
a lion, looks pretty neat. I know you can get a copy for T. Myers. 
Larry Moss ( http://ww.fooledya.com ) or some one else may have it 
too. 

Hope this sets your gears in motion.

Grace and peace.
