While I was out grocery shopping I lost the frigging screw to my glasses and I didn't know how else to fix it so I used a safety pin to connect the arms and frames.
What kind of shotty fix up jobs have you done?

I've done all kinds of rigging things up for percussiontimes in band, it's kinda a prerequisite to make it in the section;]
I've used paperclips to keep the holes in my ears from growing up if I forgot to put in earrings or one fell out.
The only thing I've done, that I can think of, is try and fix a broken disk, resident evil CV. I'd run out of bib (the stuff that covers scratches) and because bib slightly resembled clear nail varnish.....I never played that game again. I got CVX not long after so it didn't matter too much :D :D :D
Smile and Be happy :love:
Get contacts (and some red ink), and you'll look exactly like your avatar.
(SPOILER)Once, in high school, the arm fell off. I only needed the things for seeing the board, at the time, so I'd pull them out and use my left hand to hold the glasses up to my eyes while I copied info from the board. So, I guess that isn't a fix, but it was a solution.
Just the time I couldn't find any lettuce, so I made tacos with cabbage instead.
It was awful.
my glasses did that to me too
I guess I've done a lot of tying things with aluminum clothes hangers. Tied my tail pipe, assisted in the tie down of heavy things in the back of my truck (When I make my deliveries and installations), broke into cars, jigged a starter to get the truck going, cleaned the gunk out of thin steel tubing.
Hangers are definitely my ghetto rigging tool of choice. If I was old enough, I probably could have used it for an arm for my glasses.
What about the time you couldn't find a toilet?Quote:

You're pretty.
My chair is currently being propped up by the holy bible, since a leg broke off.

If you meant a cat litter box, you would be right on the money.Quote:

THAT WAS ONE TIME.
That's happened to me before. Sometimes if you have one of those really tiny sized screwdrivers you can get the screw it back in. And I don't mean small; I mean tiny. You can get them as precision tools for very minute screws. I'm not sure where you would go about getting one (I used my mother's, and she didn't tell me where she got it) but they do exist.Quote:
