Serge Storms asked me to post this
I'm here to say that duct tape isn't just for ducts anymore. I could not survive without it. I can't say enough about duct tape. One of the earliest versions was developed in 1942 by the good people at Revolite (according to Wikipedia, so who freakin' knows?), and later used extensively by the military and NASA. It even helped save the Apollo 13 crew (wow!) I like duct tape for its sound-proofing qualities when concentration and stealth are a priority. But don't go cheap as the shoddier brands can easily be loosened with the tongue. In the home improvement universe, duct tape is Sgt Pepper's, Citizen Kane and The Great Gatsby all wrapped into one. If I could, I'd give this review a hundred stars, but The Man has boxed me in at five. So in conclusion, even if you don't need duct tape, buy a roll today, "invite" some people over to your motel room, let your imagination run amok and surprise yourself!
