5. my back hurts just thinking about
duck taping this 65 pound collie-lab to me and trying to walk. I did just drag her six blocks to the Post Office, and, as usual, all that walking made her start panting. Never mind that it is -20 wind chill.

10. Bill Brasky duct-taped pumas to *his* body...
Edited on Sat Feb-18-06 07:33 AM by Orsino
Oh, he said it was for warmth, but we knew he was pretty lonely after that plane crash in the mountains where he had to eat his wife and kids. Besides, it was August.

To Bill Brasky!

12. It was so cold in my day that duct tape didn't even stick,
we had to nail frozen-dead bears to us to keep warm while we walked to school, using freshly killed rabbits for shoes, putting our feet in their still-warm body cavity which we then attached to our feet with barbed wire that we had to lick first.
