Lee, you should switch the duct tape out for a corset.
Hmm. I have to admit I'm tired of never being able to get the tape gunk off.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Goo Gone. It's wonderful stuff. Only if you don't want to switch to a corset.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
No reason you can't make a corset out of duct tape.
A friend of mine did precisely this. She used plastic boning that was also from the hardware store. I helped her hammer in the grommets. It looked darn good. (She did use a corset she already owned as a pattern.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Singapore?
No. I honestly can't remember for sure where it was, but I know it was in the US--Orlando, maybe?

A friend of mine made her prom dress out of duct tape and black and white photographs she had taken.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
FRANKENBUDDHA-- I ruptured my spleen in a sledding accident when I was 12, so don't have one. As organs go, it's pretty expendable. It holds damaged blood cells in reserve, so it comes in handy with serious illness. I got extra sick with mono because of my spleenless state, and I have to have a couple of extra immunizations every five years. Other than that and the big honking scar on my belly, no difference.

Whoops - came back to move my post but it was gone. About what Robin said, though.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I know that, in old-fashioned systems of "science", the spleen was very important in the manufacture of rage. So, by losing her spleen, your friend may become a calmer person!
(I knew a kid in 7th grade who had a bike accident and surgery similar to what Robin describes. He came through fine, and did not have a personality change, either.)

Punishingly Intricate
Frankenbuddha, I hope your friend recovers quickly. When I was a little kid my cousin (who was an adult) had to have his spleen removed. He was fine and is still going strong. My main memory of it was that I decided for some reason that the spleen was in your thigh. I have no idea what made me think this. But I held on to the belief for years!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But if your lose your spleen, where will the magic go?
