So, there's like a million things you can do with duct tape, right? And it turns out that one of those things is removing warts. Yes, that's right. Kim informed me today and then subsequently showed me scientific studies proving that if you cover warts with duct tape for six days, then soak them in water, then sand them down with a nail file and repeat, you can get rid of warts. I've got a couple of warts I need to get rid of, so I thought what the hell? (And I'm not talking about Wart from Super Mario Bros 2. I got rid of him already, as you may know from a previous article.)

So I wrapped my wrist up in duct tape, and fortunately that's also where the warts are. And after marvelling for a while at my new power band, I decided it should have some kind of a logo or motto on it. But I couldn't decide what would be fitting enough to wear on my wrist for six days.

So that's where you come in. Visit the messageboard and submit your idea, and I'll take the one I like best and write it on my cool new duct tape wristband and wear it around for the next week. The only catch is that it has to be safe for work, because it will undoubtedly draw attention there. If I don't use your suggestion this week, I may use it next week when I have to repeat the process. If I need to do it for three weeks, then it can be as vulgar as you want because I'll be on vacation. Of course, I'll probably get tired of this long before then.

My wrist is a shining silver canvas for you to paint with your imagination. So get crackin'!
