Actually, I think Duct Tape and for that matter, DuctTape, are highly overrated.

 

I used Duct Tape awhile ago. I'd tell you what I used it for, but I don't want to get banned http://216.32.191.104/forum/

 

I'm really sorry for re-hashing this once thought dead thread....but.....I couldn't resist

When I was a lifeguard some older guards would haze the new guards by ducttaping them to a chair (almost to the point of mummification) and throw them in the pool. Someone would always go in after them before they...died. Sick. I alway just stuck to hazing the new guys by wrapping their arms and legs togeather so they couldn't move at all and then push 'em over a little. That was fun.

If you can't duct it...**** it

 

Duct Tape is a fraud!!!!!!

 

Uppers

 

Weeeeeeeee!

"Uppers" We must petition to have it added to the dictionary.

 

A few words in defense of gaff (gaffa, gaffer, gaffer's) tape...

It's such great stuff. It's not in competition with duct tape; the two great materials work together, complementing each other....

Check out these lovely sites if you don't believe me:

I just got back from the hardware store, and yes, I did get another roll of Duct Tape.

 

Two words: Bubble Wrap

 

That stuff is great to walk on.

 

I wonder what wrapping your feet in Duct Tape and walking on bubble wrap would feel like...

 

Bubble wrap, ah yes, much better than duct tape.

 

I hate to say this, Ton Phanan, but my first thought (silly and gross, I know) was "like stepping on snails."

 

I am the Bubble Wrap King.

Ants were invading my house, so how did I stop them? Why, with Duct Tape, of course. They were coming into the bathroom, through a little hole in the corner. I put a little strip of Duct Tape over it, and used another strip to get rid of all the ants walking around.

 

I was the stage manager at my high school for two shows (I was on crew for 8 shows total), and we used duct tape to fix everything. And it always worked, too.

We had a special process for fixing rips in the canvas flats that consisted of using lots of Duct tape to cover the hole on each side, then covering the duct tape on the front with masking tape so you could paint over it. Duct tape was also used connect two flats to make them appear like one wall, and to cover up bad jobs on things like corners of trim and such.

 

*eyes widening*

Can it be? No... it can't be... Is it really Jay? My "sexy, honourable Jedi knight who's handy with the purple, grape-flavoured Duct Tape"???

 

We used Duct Tape to fix our pool.

 

I have a special fondness for double-sided Duct Tape. Why? It's sticky.

 

Mesa usen' da duct tapen oncen to fixen Boss Nass's dollengabber. Mesa putsen it on da walls, butsa da waters stillsa comin trous...

Now shesa nots talkin' to mesa, and itsen all becaused of da duct tape...

itsa no sticks so good...

 

Aye, 'tis me. I may have left for a little while, but every time I go, I always return. And every time I return, I am always a bit more handy with Duct Tape, especially with purple grape-flavoured Duct Tape.

 

You know Jay, I did the same thing to stop an ant invasion. A lot of ants were coming through a little hole next to a light switch in my bathroom. After electrocuting myself by splashing water on the light switch, I used Duct Tape to cover the hole, and the ant invasion ended.

 

Next time, wrap your hands in Duct Tape before splashing water on the light switch to avoid nasty electrical burns.

 

Duct Tape kicks @$$
