I am seemingly a collection of differences; a mountain man living on the plains, a small town boy living in the city, and a simple soul working in a high-tech environment. I love being outside, but work inside, quick to cry at a Kodak commercial, but with a military background. But most of all, I am the father of a wonderful boy with Cerebral Palsy.
Yesterday, on the way home from work, I saw a car with extensive duct tape body work done on the front end. This is not unusual in and of itself-- I see lots of duct tape repair work nearly every day and have myself actually done duct tape repairs to cars, couches, children, etc. What was unusual was that it was a relatively new Mercedes. One would think that if one had the vanity (and money) to buy a new Mercedes, you would have to vanity (and money) to get bodywork done in a timely and non-duct tape manner.

ReplyDeleteI need my one of them fancy duct tape hats.
"I need me" is what I meant to say.
ReplyDeleteAre you a fitted hat or visor man Spooney?
ReplyDeletethank GOD for duct tape
ReplyDeleteif any of you like medieval costumes, an easy way to make a pattern for a lady's bodice is to do this:
ReplyDeleteA) have said lady put on an old tee-shirt.
B) wrap said lady tightly with lots of duct tape.
C) cut said tee-shirt off wrapped lady by slitting the shirt-with-tape up the side
D) le voila! You now have a individualized bodice pattern! Lay pattern on fabric, cut out and put gromits up side where cut was!
We did this with mine goodwife and had a grand time.
remember a few years back when the government suggested that we use duct tape to protect ourselves from terrorist attacks?
ReplyDeleteWell, back then I made little ribbons-- like breast cancer ribbons-- out of duct tape and was amazed to find that people would actually BUY them from me!! Granted, it was only about a quarter apiece, but still. Tell me that sarcasm ain't alive and well in today's world.
Oh, and Johnny-- maybe after they sunk all that dough into the car they couldn't AFFORD to have it fixed??
That thought had actually occurred to me, 10,000.
