prepheckt 0 #1 October 21, 2003 If I'm hungry, and I don't feel like going to out snack store in the dorm, I'll heat a Pop Tart on my iron or if make a grilled cheese sandwich. I just have to clean it really well after.

Nightingale 0 #2 October 21, 2003 Hmm... well, my dad is famous for finding interesting uses for pool noodles... you know, those long foam cyllanders kids play with in swimming pools? the most creative one I remember was when he used them as guides on the boat trailer (run a piece of PVC pipe down the middle and attach to trailer on either side, you now have a padded guide that isn't gonna hurt your boat if you don't pull in straight) as Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prepheckt 0 #3 October 21, 2003 I've also seen them used as part of a swoop course too."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloudOnMyTongue 0 #4 October 21, 2003 If you buy some wax paper, you can put it over the iron you can just throw it out afterward. That will help you save on the cleanup time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #5 October 21, 2003 if you're not careful, the wax paper will melt to the iron, or burn... tinfoil might be a better option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess ya don't learn the wonders of tin foil till you live somewhere with a kitchen. In college, before I had a dishwasher, I tried to never let food touch anything that needed to be cleaned afterwards. Foil was my best friend. But I can tell you one thing... I sure as hell didn't own an iron (and still dont). If it's too wrinkled to wear (is there such a thing?), I'd just throw it back in the laundry. And might I suggest a microwave for that dorm room? They weren't allowed in the dorm I lived in, but it can be hidden... Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prepheckt 0 #7 October 21, 2003 Not a good idea, because they have contraband searches...they freaked when they found my paintball gun, I almost got in a lot of trouble over that one.

lawrocket 3 #8 October 21, 2003 The only clever thing I ever did in that regard was a field-expedient collar tab. My boss and I were supposed to go to court. Both of our collar tabs had fallen out. His really looked like hell. So I grabbed four paperclips and inserted for the collar tabs. Cheaper, and they actually worked better that the plastic ones. He got pissed about three weeks later, though. He forgot to take them out and they rust-stained one of his collars because of the laundry. Take them out. My wife is hotter than your wife.

sunshine 2 #11 October 21, 2003 I think my favorite is Pete's (spy38w) invention. He put jet fuel in one of those glade plug in things to make his apartment smell like the DZ. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

dropoutdave 0 #12 October 21, 2003 The kettle for cooking and eating noodles out of. Just hold down the button for 3 mins so it doesnt stop boiling, close the lid and drain. A long fork comes in handy. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 226 #18 October 22, 2003 Pliers and wrenches all make good hammers when you don't have one.
