The Wonders of Duct Tape
TV ClubHouse: Archives: The Wonders of Duct Tape
Car54 | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 05:36 am     I find colored duct tape in small rolls anywhere they sell it. It is in the little 3M dispenser. They have Red,Green, Black, Yellow, Brown.... very useful. |
Bookworm | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 08:43 am     Nightcrawler uses camoflage duct-tape for his hunting and paintball things. I always thought Harold and Bill were the same actor because when Harold left for college they also altered the Adventures with Bill segment to show less of Bill. |
Sia | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 11:35 am     Cool! Colored duct-tape is waayy cool. But it's misleading, too. Isn't the idea of using duct-tape to let people know that you, too, know the handyman's secret weapon? I have to find some of this stuff; it's the strongest tape I've used. THANKS, Curiouscat for the web-site for Red Green; I'd never looked for that before. Is it me, or does Patrick McKenna look a lot like Ray Romano, LOL? I think the Harold and Bill characters look similar; they had me fooled. I'm looking forward to reading thru the entire site; "Red Green" is one of my favorite shows. Now, are Canadians proud of Red Green, or is he sort of an embarrassment? Just curious! I personally LOVE Red Green. He always makes me laugh. |
Draheid | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 11:41 am     Ok, now I know this is going a bit far. Duct Tape Fashion.com???
Made from colored ducttape?!?! |
Car54 | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 11:49 am     Most Excellent Draheid! We are going to need you in the craft thread! |
Sia | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 12:07 pm     Draheid, !! But there's no PINK duct tape!! and I can't make PINK type here!! |
Sia | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 12:27 pm     Aw, I hate to be critical, but the duct-tape accessories are perfectly awful. They're the ultimate in tackiness!! Is this a joke web-site? Yikes! |
Draheid | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 01:28 pm     Oh, greatest apologies to all. Apparently I gave the impression that the rose in my post was created by me. It was NOT. I simply copied it from the website I provided the link for as an example. Now, if you thought the accessories there were questionable, there is a link on that site to an even more thought-provoking site promoting a movie at Duct Tape Forever.com which I won't even comment on. You can look for yourself if you choose.  |
Bookworm | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:07 pm     That's Red Green's movie! |
Wargod | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:16 pm     Sia, to get pink letters you need to use a hex code. Very easy to do! If you type: \rgb{FF70FF,HI!} you get: HI! To make the letters larger, type: \2{\rgb{FF70FF,HI!}} to get: HI! And to get the letters larger, type: \2{\b{\rgb{FF70FF,HI!}}} Which gives you: HI! LOL, not sure you want pink type, but there it is! |
Draheid | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:22 pm     Wargod: Dont' forget these: Hot Pink Light Pink Deep Pink

Twiggyish | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:26 pm     Now I've seen everything.. From the link above:

Halfunit | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:45 pm     OK, I now know there is colored duct tape, but does it come in my favorite color - clear ? |
Wargod | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:46 pm     LOL Dra, what are the hex codes for those? I'd like to leave Lance a note in his folder, and I've about used up the reds, yellows, and oranges. I'm sure he'll love the pink too!! |
Draheid | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 03:01 pm     Wargod: Here's a reference page for you!
|
Wargod | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 03:25 pm     Thanks, Dra! The one I have bookmarked has more colors, but doesn't name any of them...its kind of a pain, LOL. |
Bookworm | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 06:14 pm     Halfunit, my best friend and I used to joke in high school about our favorite color being clear! |
Sia | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 06:40 pm     My gawd, is there no limit to the knowledge you people possess? I have to say that SpongeBob taught me how to do this once, but I don't know for sure where I put those notes, and my mind is mush lately, so I couldn't have figured it out alone. Thanks so much for the help, folks. I knew that when I logged in again you all would have posted the necessary info. I LOVE that about the Clubhouse. Thanks!! And what's the size-limit here? I have been able to make things as large as 2 and as small as -2. Are those the available parameters, or does someone here speak Jumbo? |
Wargod | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 06:43 pm     I think you can only go up to 2 or down to -2..I could be wrong about that though, LOL. |
Nightcrawler | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 08:15 pm     I get my colored ducktape at are walmart or the true valus store here in Iowa. my self I have mosty camoflage. like Bookie said we use it for hunting and paintball.

Nightcrawler | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 08:46 pm     I found this link in the duct tape site. it is duct tape prom fashions???????????? I wish I would have thought of it. I could have saved lots of money http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/fashion/prom/index.html |
Willsfan | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 09:27 pm     I can not figure out why I can type in color & post clipart but cannot do the image thing. It never asks me to upload the gif or photo.
It comes like this. Cuz I must be doing something wrong.
 |
Willsfan | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 09:32 pm     Nevermind. I see now what to do. It finally asked me to upload my photo and I froze. LOL |
Weinermr | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 10:54 pm     Duck tape? You all are quacking up. |
Wargod | Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 10:59 pm     Quake, quake, quake! |
Curiouscat | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 04:25 am     Sia asked, "Now, are Canadians proud of Red Green, or is he sort of an embarrassment? Just curious! I personally LOVE Red Green. He always makes me laugh." As a Canadian, I am proud of Red Green because he is one of many great comedians who are from this country. To name a few: Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, and Dan Aykroyd. I like Red Green because his humour is more down-to-earth than off-the-wall. |
Lumbele | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 08:02 am     And to give equal time to the other side: I can't stand him, but at our house I am in the minority of one. |
Twinkie | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 08:27 am     Duct tape can also be used for the hyper child's timeout.  |
Draheid | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 11:12 am     I forgot I had this photo on my computer, hehe! Duct Tape Man

Sia | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 11:15 pm     Draheid, what were you dressed as, the Tin Woodsman or Flash Gordon? LOL!!!  |
Sadiesmom | Monday, November 18, 2002 - 07:10 pm     I like that duct tape cures warts. That was one headline I never expected to see. I am trying it on my dog as we speak. What is particualrly funny is the way it make non-covered warts go away at the same time. |
Chiparock | Saturday, December 07, 2002 - 09:50 pm     According to Jake's CBS chat, as reported in Survivor News, one of the luxury items he wanted to bring to Thailand was DUCT TAPE!! They disallowed it, of course, because it can be used for survival purposes. |
