Top Ten Uses of Duct Tape

mannpill.com — MacGyver creates life from Duct tape and a pack of matches. Tim Allen in his sit-com persona of Tim “The Tool man” Taylor says "if you can't fix it, 'duck' it!" The handy man’s secret is no longer a secret. It is commonly said "duct tape is like The Force– it has a light side and a dark side, and it binds the Universe together".

    If it doesn't stick, use Duct tape.

    With those, you can fix everything

  • Smight, on 12/02/2007, -1/+14Buried for talking about Macgyver but not Red Green.
    According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_problems_solv ... he only used duct tape 6 times out of 110 episodes.
    Red Green used duct tape in 300 out of 300 episodes.

    Plus the list is full of old wives tales and "battle of the sexes" type arguments.
  • kenvsryu, on 12/02/2007, -1/+12duct tape can't fix everything.
  • bradcrc, on 12/02/2007, -5/+14I object to the combination of duct tape and female author.

    duct tape is like barbeque and lawn care, it belongs in the realm of men.
  • bossm4n, on 12/02/2007, -1/+8The duct tape bandage, well-known to all in the construction business, especially A/C installers and service men. You could damn near cut your hand off, but wrap some paper towels or napkins around it, then seal the deal with copious amounts of the sticky silver miracle material, and you're back on the job.

  • RoninBic, on 12/02/2007, -1/+6I am reminded of the line if you cant duct it, ***** it, it's broke
  • inactive, on 12/02/2007, -1/+5it's "If the women can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy"
  • aybdude42, on 12/02/2007, -1/+4Then why post it?
  • ohcoaster, on 12/02/2007, -2/+5"The only thing duct tape isn't good for is ducts." lame

  • mattycoze, on 12/02/2007, -3/+5' When your hands are full and need to put down your baby for a second without wanting them to crawl away you can always just duct tape them to the wall... '
    lulz, this reminds me of that Enjo advert back in 2004 - the Baby Mop.
    8/10 for comic value, 10/10 for creativeness.
  • inactive, on 12/02/2007, -1/+3has anyone else been disappointed when they are hooking up with a chick and then you find out that she has on a miracle bra and it is nothing like what was "advertised". I guess if she used duct tape I would have not have been as disappointed because of the pain and effort effect.
  • shoutsmurmurs, on 12/02/2007, -1/+35/10 for grammar, 10/10 for creativity.

  • Netrilix, on 12/02/2007, -1/+3I do the same thing all the time at my job, though masking tape is my tape of choice for bandages.
  • domokunt, on 12/02/2007, -2/+4Easier to remove than a standard bra too!
  • nesibus, on 12/02/2007, -2/+4I'm so tired of seeing.... "(X) diggs..and the site is down?!"

    Reality check....20ppl can digg it, and 2000 can visit it, HUGE difference.

    Digg'n does not mean visiting!...and half the visits are probably people not even using/logged into digg.

  • g2g079, on 12/03/2007, -0/+1Duck tape is what most people are used to seeing. It's main purpose is for water sealing. Duct tape has an aluminum backing and can take high heats for duct work. Duck tape on ducts won't last very long.

  • xyqxyq, on 12/02/2007, -1/+2AKA: If it's flappin' and it's not supposed to duct tape it. If it's supposed to flap and it's not WD40 it.
