using an 8" speaker as a kick drum mic. using a 4" speaker as a vocal mic.

mixing ribbon mics with condenser mics on the same source can give you the best of both mic types.

three cardioids in an outward facing triangle for stereo pickup - mix like an MS setup for room mics or ambience.

wrapping mics in all kinds of materials just to see what it sounds like - saran wrap, nylon panties, whatever.

place mic inside things like big metal pot, trash can, or large glass container and sing into the pot/glass thingie. or place large bucket on your head and aim mic up into the bucket.

putting a condom over an SDC and sticking it in a glass of water (i think the beatles did this).

tape lav mics all over your body and go sing in a tile bathroom or reverberant stairwell.
