Things we use
I mentioned that we use pick up trucks here in North Carolina, and I thought it would be fun to talk about a couple of other products we use a good bit of: Bengay and duct tape. Sorry, there’s no link for duct tape because there are just so many brands, including one called, ironically enough, duck tape. Why do I say that is ironic? Well, because only a redneck calls is duck tape, ya’ll.
Because why would you tape a duck? Really, how could a duck possibly need fixing in a way that duct tape could help? If his feathers fall out, he’s gonna freeze to death anyway, and if you’ve shot him, that’s not exactly an injury he’s gonna recover from, ya know? Just cook him and be done with it.
Enough of the duck, let’s get back to the tape. It’s called duct tape because you use it to construct and repair ductwork. Well, that was it’s intentional purpose, but we have raised the use of duct tape to an art form. If you follow the link up there you will find Halloween costumes, and here are some duct tape prom dresses and also a wallet. But we don’t just use it to make stuff, we also use it to fix just about anything, from cars to televisions. I personally have used it to repair books, toys, aluminum siding, drywall and more. It’s the stuff of awesome fix-ness around here. Love me some duct tape.
Oh, you are probably wondering about the bengay by now. We use that, because sometimes, teh duct tape doesn’t work. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. And when that’s the case, you know what happens: some redneck with a broken tv lifts it into the bed of his pick up and hurts his back. Then he spends the rest of the day wincing, eating boiled peanuts and watchin’ the race on t’other tv.
