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.

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.

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, !! But there's no PINK duct tape!! smileycry

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!

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. :)

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!

OK, I now know there is colored duct tape, but does it come in my favorite color - clear ?

Sunday, November 10, 2002 - 02:46 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
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!!

Thanks, Dra! The one I have bookmarked has more colors, but doesn't name any of them...its kind of a pain, LOL.

Halfunit, my best friend and I used to joke in high school about our favorite color being clear!

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 EditMoveDeleteIP
I think you can only go up to 2 or down to -2..I could be wrong about that though, LOL.

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.

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.

Duct tape can also be used for the hyper child's timeout.

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.

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.
