    I use to pitch to my son in front of our house with what we called sock balls. Take an old pair of socks and wrap them good with duct tape. I could throw them like a baseball and they wouldn’t go as far or break anything. Eventually he started hitting windows across the street and we had to quit, still nothing broke just scared the neighbor. =)

    I taped Larry Lester's buns together. Well, then you know how hairy he is. And when they pulled the tape off, most of his hair came off and some - some skin, too.

    I recently made some boots for my daughters Halloween costume. She is going to be draculaura from monster high (pictured) and the outfit didn't include the boots, so I made them with duct tape! :) turned out good I think.

    How awesome! My youngest is going as Abbey, and that's a fantastic idea!

    In Canada, we used to have a TV program called "The Red Green Show" and duct tape was a huge part of the fun.

    It's not that great a story but the photo is hilarious. I once made a duct tape bikini!

    Looks like it hurt taking it off. Unless you planned ahead, that is.

    Lol it didn't hurt at all! We made it double sided. We stuck the sticky sides together to create the long strips. So only about an inch of actually sticky side was touching my skin :)

    When I was in middle school about Gr. 6, my friends and I duct typed one of my friend's brother to a pole, and covered him with the duct type after and then we runaway. haha xD

    Used to own a 96' honda civic (it was the best damned car I'll probably ever own mind you; in 6 years it only broke down twice)

    Yet, since I'm so hard on vehicles, the back quarter panel window was broke (held in place by clear tape) and the bumper was starting to come off. For a while I held the outside pieces of the car together by duct tape~So much that my co-workers bought me red duct tape so that it'd match the car.

    When my husband and I were first dating, we were spending the night at a friends. After falling asleep, some people we didn't know...friends of friends, had come in and out. They stole his duct tape wallet off the counter. He was pretty upset. It had pockets for debits cards and everything!

    My Dad is a Duct Tape-aholic. If it breaks you fix it with duct tape. He has a one piece Carhart suit from the 70's that he wears on the loading docks at work. It's mostly just duct tape these days. He would fix a rip or hole by putting duct tape inside and out then he would iron it. He insoles in his boots are made from cardboard and duct tape as well.

    A group of friends and I used to go to a victorian pub once a week and get stupid drunk. A friend of mine would sometimes bring duct tape as a party favor. We'd end up taped to the chairs, to each other, etc. I once ended up with a pretty styling duct tape corset.

    Just FYI alot of women use duct tape to tape their boobs in padgets. (More cleavage)

    I once told my two sons if they didn't stop fighting and yelling I was going to duct tape their mouths shut and tape them to a chair. They kept telling me I wasn't going to do it, I kept telling them to be quiet, they wouldn't, so I taped their mouths and taped them to a chair. They were both sitting in the kitchen while I was cooking supper, sort of snickering cause they thought it was funny. My husband comes home from work, walks in the kitchen, his mouth falls open and he just stares at them for a minute. He looks at me, and for kicks I looked at him like I was p1ssed and if he opened his mouth he was gonna be beside them. So instead of saying anything or trying to undo the boys, he turns on his heels and walks right back out the door, gets in the truck and doesn't come back home for another 2 hours.:laugh:

    I constructed a duct tape bra once for prom. It was a dress with lace on the back (so a bra made it look tacky)...I tried the dress on with a bra and thought I could get away without a bra, but found that I couldn't until the day of prom. I needed a quick fix, and duct tape was the only easy solution. Definitely did the job. It would also have doubled as a waxing, if I had hair needing removed...Ow!

    I once read through an Internet forum about people's best stories involving duct tape and then m***** furiously. Does that count?

    Went shopping for bras at Frederick's of Hollywood and a stick-on bra caught my eye. It was basically the bra cups and had little sticky tabs on the sides to stick the cups to you. For those times that you need support without a back or straps.
    They were on the clearance rack and another woman was looking at them too and I overheard her asking the employee there if it was possible to get replacement sticky tabs.
    They employee said that they were out of the tabs and weren't planning to get more in. The natural question after that from the other customer was how long the tabs would last and if there was any other product that could replace it.

    Response from the employee: I don't know of any other products, but I guess you could just use duct tape to stick it to yourself.

    The other customer put the item back, we looked at each other and walked out of the store shaking our heads.
