Reading null's journal

Scientists estimate that 99.98% of all known problems can be solved by applying the appropriate amount of WD-40. *
However, until this day, handling this miraculous fluid has also occasionally been cumbersome, as it only came in big spray cans that were a) not very handy and b) designed to spill between 2 and 3 litres of the precious liquid with incredibly high pressure upon touching the nozzle.

But not anymore, for today I have discovered the...

WD-40 Multi Pen!

It works like a charm. It fits in every toolbox or even pocket. It contains 7.7 ml genuine, real WD-40. All you do is remove the cap and press the felt tip onto whatever you wish to fix, and this mechanic's ambrosia will flow and work its wonders. It is a work of sheer genius, and now it belongs to me!

-- Off to find stuff to fix --

* Seriously, it's the only drug-unrelated chemical that I know of that has its own fan club and is mentioned in a cult classic.

Consider yourself hugged.

Good for coughs, colds, sore holes, and pimples on your keskedoodle.

You're here, aren't you? You're talking to me, aren't you?

If only it had a swiss army knife on the other end...:D

Any Freitag lovers here? I noticed WD40 is perfect to remove the dirt from the bag's letters ;)

As we say in the South:

If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, WD-40

I'll believe in anything if you'll just believe in anything

If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, WD-40

I love this!

Consider yourself hugged.

Why use duct tape when the almight gaffa tape reigns supreme... Yes, like iron chef...

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

I was just going to suggest that gaffers tape is nice to use sometimes. I use duct tape for waterproof bags, and gaffers tape for whatever I don't need for waterproofing.

I like the adhesive quality gaffers tape has. Plus, when it comes to stage work or photography, gaffers tape doesn't reflect light.

Possibly I've said more than required, but yes, gaffers tape. Why not?

What comes around goes around.

Heh heh heh, well cosidering that i spend the vast majority of my nights backstage in a theatre somewhere, i have a very touching relationship with gaff. I also have no hair left on the back of my left hand...

Always remember, be nice to the techs, or we'll gaff yo ass.

I'm going to have to say my relationship with duct tape is far more meaningful than that of gaff. Currently I keep a large roll of it in my car so I can keep my side view mirror attached. Someday, I'll have to fix it for real, but for now, good ol' shiny silver tape for the win.
