1. Store some water for at least 7 hours and dip your fingers in it. Bliss! ( Of course you don't need to drink that now. Teehee!)
2. Sprinkle some water on the outside when it's TOTALLY dry and smell it. And thats just in case you miss the first rains and the fragrance it gets along with it. (I could die for it. Honest)
3. Paint it!
4. See it getting cracked after the damage you just did, especially if its an un-baked pot.
(Mine was!) *Grins*
5. And finally, now that its broken add some water and try re-building it :)
You'll either end up getting a brand new pot or a feeling of eternal bliss while smashing the pot!
