Grooch | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:31 am   At my job, where the rug is splitting apart and people can trip over it, maintenance came and duct taped it back together. (From one end of the room to the other.) |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:36 am   Shedding cat? Duct tape works great to get rid of all those little cat hairs all over the sofa (and the cat) |
Gail | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:38 am   Hmmm . . . I wonder if it works on dogs? |
Misslibra | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:40 am   Tape up holes in your window screens until you can get them fix, so no skeeters will get in the house. |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:41 am   I imagine so Gail - but I'm not a dog fan so they didn't even get an honorable mention |
Dilligaf | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 10:11 am   Most of you know that I work in an Orthopaedic clinic. You'd be amazed at how some patients are so hard on their casts. We get patients that come back in after walking for weeks on a synthetic cast. Obviously, the thing is gonna break apart, but these patients just keep wrapping them up with duct tape. Even though the cast breaks down, we still have to use the cast saw to get them off to get through all the duct tape!! And just a side note.....3M makes our synthetic casting material, LOL.  |
Wcv63 | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 02:10 pm   Whit: Use as a contraceptive device I'm still trying to figure out how this might work. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 02:13 pm   I figure a couple ways, and all I can say about either is eventually there is going to be a big OUCH!!!! |
Sbw | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 02:22 pm   I had decided after the big OUCH....abstinence is the best contraceptive. Should work for about a week, maybe more! |
Dilligaf | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 07:18 am   Hmmmm, that contraceptive device made me think of one..... How about using duct tape for hair removal?? <Where is Juju?? I'll try it out on her furry little behind > |
Gail | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 07:39 am   I am still thinking about that contraceptive device angle. I am certain that must be used as a male contraceptive device. Even then, it seems painful. |
Wink | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 07:57 am   Gail I'm thinking Flint's thong should be fashioned out of duct tape. Might make him think twice or forty times about flinging. |
Dilligaf | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 10:28 am   Wink....LMAO!! |
Moondance | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 10:33 am   I think Adven needs to get ideas for his relatives in this folder! |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, June 24, 2001 - 12:24 pm   Taping Flint's arm to his body so he is forced to type with only one hand. |
Grooch | Monday, June 25, 2001 - 01:07 pm   What do The Force and duct tape have in common? They both have a light side and a dark side, and they both hold the universe together. |
Rogue | Tuesday, June 26, 2001 - 04:57 am   That is deep, Grooch...I'll never use THE duct tape for evil purposes again now, hehehe! |
Grooch | Monday, July 16, 2001 - 08:02 am   I duct taped the power switch, that my computer is plugged into, to stay in the "on" position. It's right next to the light switch, and sometimes I hit the wrong switch and knock the power off and then, when I realize my mistake, I switch it immediately back on again. That's not good for my computer. |
Grooch | Monday, July 23, 2001 - 06:30 am   Duct tape diapers onto 18 month old kids who are learning to be potty trained so every 5 seconds they are ripping their diapers off when you turn your head. They have not yet learned the bladder control part. I learned this the hard way this weekend. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, September 11, 2001 - 02:40 am   Funny now looking back on this thread, I've used ducttape like 20 times this summer hard to remember all the reasons - the last one was to duct-tape together a buncha boxes.... |
Kep421 | Monday, September 17, 2001 - 09:22 pm   I wanted to use duct tape today to secure a flag pole to a metal "coupling?" that I wanted my husband to attached to our exterior. He didn't seem to think this was a good idea. He thinks flag pole brackets would be better... He's got no imagination. |
Wargod | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 07:05 pm   Just today I used duct tape to attach a flag to my car antenna! |
Shoes4me | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 08:01 pm   Duct tape turns a regular styrofoam ice chest into 'Luggage!' |
Kady | Friday, September 21, 2001 - 08:28 pm   Have no sewing machine? Just duct tape the hems of those jeans till you can get them sewed by a loving Grandma. |
Llkoolaid | Sunday, September 23, 2001 - 12:33 pm   My daughter's and her friend were getting ready for the prom and her friend wanted duct tape for under her brests to give her cleavage for her spagetti strap gown, I laughed and she said she read that models use it all the time. |
