On my remote control "key fob" gadget for our minivan, the plastic loop that hooks it to the key ring broke off. Right now it's hanging on to the key ring with lots of duct tape.

To borrow from Homer Simpson, "Ah, duct tape. Is there anything it can't do?" :D:

Duct tape is one of mankinds best inventions. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use WD-40.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Gah, I can't even to begin to say how often we have been stopped for help. In the past two weeks, we have been stopped at Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Party City, Party America, Spirit, Halloween Express, and both times we went to Haunt. Everything from "How much is this?" to " Where can I find..?"

Maybe when we walk through an area that has to do with HALLOWEEN we should just look stupid..

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact we were wearing black and seemed to know what we were doing? Hmmm...

Nope. It's the CM brand stamped in invisible ink on our foreheads.

Actually, it's in UV ink, and there are UV lights strategically positioned around the stores so that, while we can't see them, they still hit us right in the forehead. In some more advanced stores, they actually have intelligent lights that follow us around and hit only that one spot on our foreheads with that UV light.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Would this mean Mickey is THE Beast????

Here is a great TRUE story about duct tape. Ralphie and I went to California and we took the train. I love going to California by train. The California Zephyr was so much fun! I love trains and we get a sleeper car and it is so cool. I love sleeping on a train, it just rocks back and forth and the sound of the whistle is really neat. I am a train travelin' kind of gal... Anyways, we were just outside Sacratomato when we stopped. We stayed stopped for a long time and we were wondering what had happened. Seems some little juvenile delinquents had put some crap on the track and the train had hit it and damaged something or other. They saw the little rascals running away through the fields and I don't know if they were able to get the cops out there to catch the evil little brats. Anyway, after sitting there for some time, the intercom comes on and we hear a voice say, "Sorry folks, we have some damage to the train and can't move. Does anyone have any duct tape?" I shit you not! It was so funny!

They actually had to bring out another engine and change them out using the split tracks near the Sacramento station. That was the funniest reference to duct tape I ever heard. Ralphie and I laughed and joked about "What if you were flying and the pilot got on the intercom and asked if anyone had any duct tape?" :eek: That would not be so funny!
Duct Tape, the greatest invention since... since...well it is just the greatest invention!

Blasphemy! Mickey is NOT the Beast. He is merely the most powerful mouse in the world, and the world loves him dearly, and...

Hmm... Okay, maybe you have a point.

This morning's paper talked about problems with a solar array on the space station. The astronaut discovered metal shavings and used duct tape to collect them for analysis back on Earth.

Take a look at http://www.stuckatprom.com/contests/prom/ for some alternate uses of duct tape.

Kinda back on topic. I know how you feel Shorty. Last sunday I was in TL having a smoke when another guest asked me for a cigarette. Then he asked if I worked there? I'm thinking why,when he said my jacket looked like a uniform coat. (it's 'very' green) Of course I'm thinking,"Yeah,I'm hammering a nail on-stage,I've got a mustach, and wearing sneakers". What a dumb-ass. :eek:
