uncle ronny alerted me to a culturally informative los angeles times article about duct tape and national panic attacks. uncle ronny is great, i don't know him too well, but he's great.

the la times article, along with about every feature satirizing the duct tape scare, mentions the duct tape guys. also know as jim berg and tim nyberg, these dudes make their living writing about duct tape (and tons of other humorous topics, including parodyville). you may have seen their book 'the jumbo duct tape book'. these nice duct tape guys have given a kind place to vanessa jean * duct tape design on their design refrigerator. check it out.
