Hearing Nothing at the moment

Because I Know You Want One --


Directions -- from the Canadian arm of 3M -- for how to make your own duct tape wallet. Awesome.

If you can't be bothered to make you own, you could always visit Duct Tape Fashions. They'll do it for you.

    Duct Tape use #1,370,034,095:  When I was rushing to take a pregnant coworker to the ER on Friday, I was amazed to find that the emergency room was "gone" and they had literally taped over the ER sign with duct tape.......COME ON!  (Hospital is under renovation and the new ER had been opened at the back of the hospital, but still.....duct tape?)

    THAT'S ALRIGHT.  I FLEW FROM WASHINGTON DC TO LONG ISLAND ONCE ON A TWO ENGINE PROP WITH THE WHEELS ON WOODEN STICKS ATTACHED TO THE WINGS.......THE 15 SEATER WAS HELD TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE.  I SWEAR ON MY LIFE, IT HAD DUCT TAPE ON IT.  KNOWING WHAT DUCT TAPE DOES, I WAS A BIT LEARY ABOUT GETTING ON THAT PLANE.  I HAD TO GET TO ISLIP MACARTHER.  I DO NOT LIKE DUCT TAPE AND US AIRWAYS WILL NEVER GET MY MONEY AGAIN.
