Crown Royal shift boot?...

One of my friends had the great idea to cut out the bottom of a Crown Royal bag and make it a shift boot in his Civic... I'm thinking about doing the same. I'm I the only one to do/ think of doing this to my Pickup? I already got two small ones, one for trans shifter (5speed) and one for Transfer case shifter.
Post pictures please if you got em'

I like. Just need to find a way to mount a shot glass as the shifter knob. Better yet, find a shot glass, pour in some poly-urethane resin, and bingo, "No shot, No shift, No Problem!"

That's pretty creative, it would be pretty cool to incorporate the crown bottle top into the shifter too.

I used to bartend and had hundreds of those bags. Since I was in college, it was kinda neat to use straight pens to coat a wall of my apartment with nothing but crown royal felt.

It was a good conversation starter with the ladies.
